K10D Back focusing Issue
Don't forget other forms of focus aid, a split-screen not correctly spaced/placed also gives a faulty focus "comfirmation" and those are used with MF.

K10D Back focusing Issue
In that instance Chris we would still be using the AF system to confirm focus. Quite - which is why I can't see why you wouldn't get the same BF/FF issues (if they're there in the first place) as with ordinary AF. If the camera's collimation is correct then using our eyes should get the right...

Actually according to this, unless you've got SDHC problems there's no need for 1.31 http://www.pentax.jp/english/support/digital/k10d_s.html

K10D Back focusing Issue
Thanks for those Smeggy. I had no issues with SDHC cards, but followed the logic that there might have been other small enhancements (unpublicised) in the newest firmware. Got a shoot planned for tomorrow, so might try out the text file afterwards. Regards

Yeah I always wonder about unpublished enhancements. Although it's always a gamble as you can also get new 'unpublished' bugs. :)

K10D Back focusing Issue
After some Googling, I've found this excellent and simple method by Ivan Glisin which works very well: No need for 1.30. Do the following with 1.31: In the root directory of your memory card create or copy a text file named MODSET.TXT with only one line in it: [OPEN_DEBUG_MENU] Aft...

K10D Back focusing Issue
Yup, I leave my K10D permanently in Debug Mode ( after using the MODSET File/door open method. That way I can tweak the AF for different lenses. Although now I've got a K-5 I will probably sell the K10D soon.

Weird behaviour of K-m dust alert - any ideas?
My K-m has started doing some odd things with the dust alert function: If I check with a zoom set to 50mm or wider it comes up perfectly clean. If I check with the same lenses set to 70mm/80mm I see horrible marks everywhere (which seem to be in different places every time I try). These are my...

Which one next?
Hello everyone =) I currently have the K100D Super SLR. I'm starting to outgrow it in shooting speed, mirror lag, physical size, and no dedicated RAW button. Looking for a better cam with some more professional features. The mirror lag/slap is terrible on this camera, its so loud also. When sh...

New K-7 Firmware
I upgraded the firmware, and now the e-dial that control the shutter speed (front e-dial) on my K-7 doesn't work anymore. If I take the shutter speed up to or faster than 1/4000 of a sec., it wont come down below 1/5000. But the front e-dial on the grip does work properly. Now, I'm really pissed ...

It may or may not be the firmware... Take off the grip. Take out the battery from the body. Turn on the camera (dunno if this really helps). Wait a minute or three. Re-assemble. See if that clears the problem. Mine seems to get in a state where the body e-dials stop functioning. Sometime...

Regarding reliability, have I just been unlucky? My K-7 is seven months old and has been back to Pentax twice. First time was because the Sensor was out of level with the viewfinder, now corrected - service report said recalibrated, but no fault found. I am waiting for it to come back (should b...
