Pentax Optio M40 reset date/time and options as soon as I replace the battery. When the camera was new, it kept running the clock. If it has internal backup battery, is it possible to charge it?

That type of battery to hold system memory comes in two types, a small hearing aid type battery, or a fixed, soldered battery on the main board. Sometimes they are rechargeable when connected to a mains charger, sometimes not (total loss - they work until they drain). The only battery mention is the main internal battery. You would have to take it to a repair centre. https://www.google.com/search?q=pentax+optio+m40+internal+battery ..

Pentax Optio E60 Compact Digital Camera. It keeps on showing “lens error” and the lens is stuck and won’t go down but when I turn it on, the lens moves a bit and then returns to its stuck position?

question edited for clarity. Were the batteries brand new and fresh? The most likely cases are that the servo motor needs replacing, or lubricating, or something has dislodged jammed it. The best course of action is to take it to your local camera shop for repair. https://www.google.com/search?q=Pentax+E60+digicam+%E2%80%9Clens+error%E2%80%9D+and+the+lens+is+stuck ..

Pentax water pump not shutting off

It needs a new pressure switch. The most likely cause of a pump not shutting off is the pressure switch. It is a small box attached to the water line with electrical wires running to it from your water pump. It's used to turn the pump on when the pressure gets low ( around 40 PSI) and turn it off when it gets high ( around 60 PSI). Dec 31, 2012

Pentax Optio A10 camera turns on, the lens extends, the whistle sounds, and the screen displays battery level, & indicators. The problem is the screen itself is dark as if there is a lens cover on.

Normal people can't fix electronic cameras, you need to be an electronics engineer and an optical engineer. Take to a Camera Service Centre for evaluation and repair.

Why isn't my K100D Flash not working?

Hi, please ensure that you've not used the camera for more than the advised amount of time by the manufacturer. Also, you can attempt to use the same brand/type of batteries as was including with your camera when you got it. Some manufacturers put internal fimware/software restrictions on their devices. For printers, this would be done for cartridges and in the case of your camera, it would be for batteries. Lastly, I would check that your sd card isn't full before calling Pentax to refer you to a repair shop. Thank you.

Pentax Espio 60S "E2" error

Hi for anyone reading this! My 60s was just flashing with this but I fixed it. Took the batteries out, swapped them and that didn't work. Tried to put the old ones back in a few minutes later and then it was fine! Just fiddle around with it. Hope this helps.

How do you change the shutter speeds on an pentax

You can't.

In Auto Pict mode the camera selects the best of the pre-set Scene modes for the photograph which you're about to take. It's basically a variation of fully automatic mode, so the camera selects everything for you.

Auto Pict and Auto are designed to let anyone pick up your camera and take a fully automated snapshot without needing to worry about what settings to use.

To alter the shutter speeds you need to select an appropriate mode such as shutter priority or manual.

Would olympus software work with a pentax camera

It depends on what you want the software to do with the camera. If you simply want to download the pictures then any photo cataloging program such as Picasa will do the job.If you want to edit your photos, photo editing programs don't care where the photos came from. You can use any photo editing program, such as PhotoShop or the GIMP.

Sdhc memorty card in a pentax optio e10 camera

The E10 works with SD cards. While SDHC cards will fit into the slot, they are electronically incompatible and will not work. You need to use SD cards 2GB and smaller.

PROBLEM WITH PENTAX OPTIO E10

Sounds like battery life is gone. If there rechargeable batteries they might not be holding a charge anymore.

If your camera has a power cord that plug into your camera to charge the battery does it do the same thing?

If it doesn't have a power cord, what happens when you plug the camera into your computer?
