K10D+43mm F1.9 Limited Problem
In what way is it not working very well? A good first step would be to do a focus test to identify exactly what the problem is. Download a focus test chart - the one on www.focustestchart.com is the best - and follow the instructions. Using a tripod helps if you have one. Then post the resulting ...

K10D+43mm F1.9 Limited Problem
What do you mean by "not working very well"? Could you be more specific? Sorry for the vague description. It is out of focus, and 'the focused point' is obviously not clear.

K10D+43mm F1.9 Limited Problem
I've had to calibrate the AF on my K10D in debug mode to get accurate AF with my lenses. Thank you for the reply. But the firmware of my K10D is 1.31, so how can I be in debug mode? I heard only with 1.1 right? My version is 1.3 :) Create a text file called MODSET.TXT in the DCIM folder of your ...

K10D+43mm F1.9 Limited Problem
Unfortunately, with the K10 the calibration affects all lenses, so you might now have to check the others. If they are off now, you might have to settle for some compromise. Yes, I just tried another lens- -! back to 0um. Now I fully understand why Smeggy left it in debug mode permanently.

K10D+43mm F1.9 Limited Problem
My version is 1.3 Create a text file called MODSET.TXT in the DCIM folder of your SD card that contains the following [OPEN_DEBUG_MENU]...... Hi Smeggy I tried this afternoon. I can tell the txt file has to be written in windows (notepad) not MAC (text editor), or you can not enable debug ...

I see it says there is contrast based auto focus in Live view with face recognition; does anybody know whether that means it will autofocus in video mode? Anyone?

tw - can someone explain how having loads of AF points is useful. I just use the centre one, focus and recompose. Surely that's just as quick as using the 4 way selector to choose an AF point? Or am I missing something?

can someone explain how having loads of AF points is useful Think it is only useful when you let the camera decide the focus point, and then it locks onto to it for moving subjects. Something i don`t really understand, being a Pentax owner. Davex.

I only ever used spot focus, because that's what I was focused on, Jack. :wink:

hmmm? It would have to be quick then. The AF-C on my K10 and K20 are no where near fast enough to track moving objects properly with any of my lenses Apparently you just have to learn how to get round it on the K10D/K20D and you will be fine. I should go on a Hollywood Focus Puller course. :) ...

Now I'm confused. Pentax are supposed to be bringing out new flashes for use with IRsimple. The K-r has this so is compatible. According to depressingreview though the K-5 doesn't? Surely Pentax will no bring out flashes which can only work with one lower model, not with their flagship model? :? I...

All that matters to me is the dynamic range. If it's better than the K20D (the K7 wasn't) then i'll consider buying one. This has become an issue for me again... I've just come back from a week in the Lake District, and there was a lot of bright cloud about. In many cases, bracketing like crazy, it...
