My lcd display on my pentax ist dl doesn't work.

I purchased my camera (pentax ist dl) at a yard sale for $30 and it takes the best pictures, but the lcd display was broken. Sometimes if I push the review button i can briefly see some of the picture but then it quickly disappears. When the screen lights up, which is only for a short period of time and then it dies, it looks as though the screen is cracked insidei. I love my camera. Can it be repaired? Is there a part I can purchase and possibly fix it myself?

This is one of those things that just cant be fixed on the kitchen table on a sunday afternoon, sorry. The mechanics and electronics are so precise and small it is one of those things that is just not recommended. You can take it to any reputable camera dealer and they can arrange the shipping and repair, it will need to go back to Pentax. The up side is they will clean and adjust anything they can before it is returned to you.

Using a 500mm fixed aperture lens on a Pentax ist

Use "exposure compensation" (the button with a plus/minus symbol). It allows you to lighten (toward the + side) or darken (toward the - side).

My Pentax *ist DL camera has started to give me problems. The rotary control dial on the top left of the body does not work. When I turn it, it does not display the setting as set on the dial. In addition...

Hi,

it is best to be sent for repairs, since it appears that something is wrong inside of your camera. Software doesnt respond to the switches, it is best to be not turned on and sent to repairs.

I AM A FIRST TIME OWNER OF A PENTAX K100 .DOES THIS CAMERA HAVE A VIEW THROUGH LCD MODE BEFORE YOU SHOOT AND IF SO HOW DO I SWITCH THIS MODE ON

No, since this camera is an SLR, (single lens reflex), The shutter covers the imaging sensor until a picture is taken. The sensor would have to be exposed to provide an image preview on the LCD display screen. This feature is available in newer high end models made by Nikon and Canon, added a second sensor I'm guessing

AV error whn pentax ist DL & Quantaray zoom lens attached

I've got the same problem. The problem is that the lense is loosely attached to the body. What you need to do is that when you see the Av flashing, press the lense of the camera to the body and twist the lense to the left a bit. This tightens the connection. You can then take the photo.
