K10 focus check
Hi Guys I know I have seen (on this forum) ways of checking the autofocus using self printed test pages but can't find the threads/links. Please could someone kindly remind me where to get the method to check my K10D. I am a little suspicious that it isnt focussing exactly -especially having ...

K10 focus check
, , and . I've used this Russian software method as it's the only way to do it with the latest K10D firmware and it works fine. No nasties in it. I prefer to use Yvon Bourke's test chart (the third link).

Thanks Peter. For some reason I'm struggling to get the links to work. I guess its to do with my web browser. I'll try again tomorrow on a different PC. I appreciate your prompt reply. Hope I can sort it tomorrow. Cheers Geoff

All three links work for me in Firefox 3.5 and IE 8.

K10 focus check
Hi Geoff, I used the Yvon Bourque charts to test all my lenses with my K10D. It is a long job so allow plenty of time and don`t rush. Repeat each trial at least three times, that way you get used to it and become more proficient. I have left my camera in DEBUG MODE and adjust each time for the lens ...

Hello again Geoff, look at Troubleshooter-DEBUG MODE K10 D. You might be able to gain some more info. Very helpful to me. Cedric

K10 focus check
Hi Guys Thanks for your really helpful advice. Having printed off the charts and briefly read the other links I can see that the process will take time and should not be rushed. For my better understanding does any focus issue only effect auto-focus? If I were to use manual focus in my daily p...

K10 focus check
I have seen this focusing issue before and couldn't figure it out. I thought only the K20 (and now the K7) had this. Can anyone tell me where to find this in the K10 Operators Manual? I didn't even know it existed before the firmware upgrade. Where is it. What part of the program is it in? etc. etc....

K10 focus check
It's definitely worth doing - many of my pictures, particularly those taken in a hurry, are sharper. (We have a K10D and a GX-10) It's also definitely worth doing with all your lenses - as there is only one adjustment on the K10D/GX10, I found it useful to be spot on with the long telephoto (Tamr...

K10 focus check
I had a very strange experience with the AF adjustment on my K10D that I can neither explain, nor replicate. As some may have noted, I acquired an FA50 1.4 in excellent condition recently from another forum member, and the first thing I did with it was an AF check, since I have nothing else as fa...

Did I read a review or a thread commenting that the FA50 1.4 has a very short depth of field wide open and is therefore focus critical anyway.

Did I read a review or a thread commenting that the FA50 1.4 has a very short depth of field wide open and is therefore focus critical anyway. Well it does, yes, which is why you want to be sure that it focuses where you think it does, and not an inch or so behind that. That's why I went looking ...

There's definitely variability in the equipment and in the process (tripod position, distance, ambient temperature, dust in the lens mount, etc.). It is important to switch the SR to off when on a tripod (now I'm not suggesting for one minute...:oops:) - I wonder if this could affect the result...

I have adjusted my K10 twice. Initially after approx 1000 actuations and then again after approx 7500 actuations. This would seem to support the view that a certain amount of 'bedding in' has occured, though I accept this is far from proven. As for the 50 mm, mine was fine originally, but my FA 3...
