K10D Focus Adjustment
thanks Steve that's good to know, I'll probably still try both types of light but if I can't get a consistant reading under tungsten I'll know why! don't suppose you'd be interested in outlining your tightly controlled and robust process to save us re-inventing the wheel?

K10D Focus Adjustment
I haven't noticed the effect on the 1.7, but then, I seldom use that ( well, not enough) and when I do, it is rarely focussed to infinity and, as it is manual focus, I go by eye as well as confirmation. But, it's a good point and I'll throw that in the mix too.

the wide max aperture should make it easier to spot an issue

K10D Focus Adjustment
OK, Well I've got as far as getting into debug mode and viewing the relevant menus. I don't think I'll have the time to do this properly before I go away ( Saturday), but at least I know the principle works. One thing I did find is that a small instruction is missing on that second link. Create...

K10D Focus Adjustment
I had a quick fiddle tonight. I concentrated on the Tamron 70 - 300mm and the Pentax 28 - 80mm lenses as they are what I most often use with this camera. I had to apply +200um. It has made the world of difference! I can't test properly as the light has gone, but the couple I took outside in the ...

Don't understand what you mean by that Typed on the move basically I meant to say move the focus ring manually between taking AF shots. Regards Steve

Focus Peaking Improvements
I put this in another forum, but I believe it makes more sense here: I sent an email to Ricoh Imaging yesterday suggesting that they do firmware updates to include user selectable colors for focus peaking. I would like to suggest that others who agree it would be of value do the same. If enough v...

Focus Peaking Improvements
No but he has a point, the focus peaking in red on sony's is a bonus and I love the view I've seen of the blue available on the Panasonic GX7, it shows up very clearly indeed, when white would be inappropriate. Is it possible on the K30 scrreen since it's colour anyway? If the chip allows peaking ...

Please don't post the same thing twice, it clutters the forum and splits replies across two places. There are more replies in this thread, so I'll leave this one and delete the other.

Yep coloured peaking (similar to the flashing under/over exposure indication) would be much better than the indistinct shimmer you get on the K30/K01.

Focus Peaking Improvements
Unless Ricoh was blowing smoke with their response, it seems like they may take these requests into consideration. But, I think volume is the key. So, I hope those who realize the potential value of this enhancement, which I don't believe is a big one in terms of development, will take a moment or...

@johnriley - My apologies about the double post. I'm wondering if it would make more sense for this topic to be placed in the "Pentax Digital Camera Discussion" since it spans both DSLR and mirrorless cameras. Thanks Steve

I think we can see it quite well whichever forum it's placed in Steve. Don't worry, it won't get overlooked.

K-50 Hands-on Feedback
I got a K-50 two weeks ago. Perhaps someone is interested in a general feedback? I upgraded from K100D, and these are the main differences I have noticed (forgetting about the technical details). Please note I am basically a "happy snapper"! K-50 is considerably quicker at starting up and also at...
