K10 focus check
'Remote control shooting' probably refers to using the infra-red remote release, not the wired one. Well that's the obvious inference, but why would they leave SR on with a cable, and switch it off with a remote, given all the other situations they switch it off when the camera is effectively immo...

K10 focus check
[quote:3496ace15f="stevejcoe"]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. Very interesting informati...

Chris, of course they're out to get you. Once you accept that, life suddenly makes more sense.....:wink: But seriously, you'll find that all marques recommend switching shake reduction off when on a tripod, regardless of whether it's in-body or in-lens. It must be something to do with the basi...

K10 focus check
ChrisA, just to confirm, I had a cable remote plugged in (not a Pentax one, but I don't think that would make any difference?) and the SR was still on. (I just tested it again to make sure!).

Not being a Pentax one could well make a difference as some relevant feature could be missing.

K10 focus check
I think I need to get hold of a Pentax cable release and re-do the tests I did before. The bottom line was that with the camera on a tripod, releasing the shutter with a finger caused a tiny bit of shake that SR made no difference to - no better and no worse than with it on or off. However, if...

K10 focus check
[quote:3496ace15f="MattMatic"]Just a point when doing AF adjustments: you should always move the lens waaaay out of focus before getting the camera to AF ;) I normally shift to infinity before AF-ing on the test target. The 50/1.4 can be a pain to adjust anyway. It's field isn't flat, and I've fo...

The red indicator only shows where the camera is focusing. It's the green hexagon that indicates focus has been found. And our own eyes of course.

Hello I've been following this thread as I have the same issue with my k10d. I have the camera in debug mode but can not display the new test menu no matter what I do. Any ideas please. Thanks

K7 - Live View Focussing
Hi Anvh My understanding is that most lens will focus a little past infinity to allow for expansion and contraction, OK in normal use but it creates problems with stars

K7 - Live View Focussing
I'm lost - or thick:?: How does a camera - K7 or otherwise - focus past infinity? Am I missing something? I've used live view on a couple of occasions but prefer the viewfinder - mind you I've not tried stars yet. Live view is good for movies on the K7.

Got the green line problem on your K-7?
Pentax UK has had that version for some time, I installed it about a week back. Jim
