    This e-book is intended to be read on a computer screen. You can print the e-book for your own use. However, it will have a copyright watermark notice at the bottom of each page. Table of contents and Foreword I am pleased that you purchased one of our “Pentax K-7 – Everything you need to know…..and then some” book. As an enthusiastic photographer for many years, I have had many Pentax cameras. My first “new” camera was a Pentax Spotmatic, purchased when I was still in Junior High. When Pentax stepped into the Digital SLR market, I was delighted. Their first few DSLRs (The *ist series) were the smallest DSLRs on the market but were not particularly special with the 6MP CCD. When the K10D was introduced, everything changed and Pentax was suddenly a major player. The K10D was a breakthrough, in my opinion. It had the capabili- ties of Professional DSLRs with the price of entry-level DSLRs. It had some unique features found nowhere else at any price. In January of 2008, Pentax an- nounced the K20D. It was not a revolution as the K10D was, but it certainly was an evolution of the revolution. The K200D and the K2000/KM followed with no exceptional or marginal improvements. On May 20, 2009, Pentax made history again by introducing the Pentax K-7. This time, it is definitely another revolu- tion, and maybe bigger than the K10D was when introduced. Once again, Pentax engineers have pushed the envelope and designed a DSLR with more features than any camera in it’s price range.

  • Nikon D3s Menu Settings for Sports Photographers
    Nikon D3s Menu Settings for Sports Photographers Whether at the ballpark or via email, two of the most frequently asked questions I hear are “what are your basic settings when shooting sports using the Nikon D3s” or “how is your Nikon D3s set up? I’ve been shooting sports for a living for over 25 years, with clients ranging from Sports Illustrated to Major League Baseball and The Chicago White Sox. The approach I use when setting up with my equipment might not be considered conventional, but I can tell you this; it works. I refer to it as my unscientific approach to better sports photography. I trust and believe in what works in the real world. I’m always open to new ideas and so should you. If your images are already perfect, stop here. But if you shoot sports action and are looking for ways to improve your images and increase your "keeper percentage", or are setting up a Nikon D3s for the first time, read on. I decided to dissect the menu of my trusty D3s and share my personal settings while discussing a few in detail so that other sports photographers can use them as a point of reference. As the old adage goes, please remember that these are my own personal settings and opinions and should be used as a guide only. No one set of rules (or in this case, settings) should be considered the absolute only way to go. I highly recommend taking the time to experiment and come up with a few of your own favorites.
