when i try to take images past 35 mm my camera is causing the images to blacken the image and only half of it comes out. is there a way to change the shutter speed|||Hi Drift King,
To change the shutter speed on the K100D Super, move the Exposure Mode Dial (on the top left of the camera) to %26quot;Tv%26quot;. Then, roll the command wheel (top-right of the back of the camera) back and forth until the desired shutter speed appears on the top LCD, such as %26quot;TV 125%26quot;.
You can also change the shutter speed in manual exposure mode, which allows you to change both the shutter speed and the aperture. On the Exposure Mode Dial, manual exposure is %26quot;M%26quot;.
However, I don%26#039;t know how changing the shutter speed when shooting %26quot;past 35mm%26quot; would help with half the image being dark. Is it possible that what is actually happening is that the lens%26#039; hood is casting a shadow from the pop-up flash when you zoom past 35mm? Does the problem happen if you shoot in good light without the pop-up flash? If the problem is a shadow cast by the lens hood from the pop-up flash, I would suggest just taking off the hood off when you must shoot in those conditions (but do keep the hood for other conditions).
Good luck,
Greg|||The Pentax K100D is not much different than your old Pentax 35 mm. Changing your shutter speed should be very straight forward. If all else fails, find your owners manual and look it up. It cannot be that hard.
