K110D AF Back Focus - All Lenses
AF accuracy has nothing to do with the focusing screen. In fact AF still works even without a screen fitted. You need to examine the photographs rather than the viewfinder image to check AF accuracy. If it is consistently wrong with all lenses, you may be able to fix the problem by altering a "se...

K110D AF Back Focus - All Lenses
Pete, Thanks for clearing that up! Hey Don, Pete says I can run around blind with no screen and the camera on AF - that way all my shots will be surprises (and probably better than what I'm getting when I actually try!) I'll save that for when you come down. You like stuff like that. Other...

Secret setting = Debug Menu. K110D does have one. See http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=k110d+debug+menu&meta= Good luck with the blind photography :wink:

Ohhh Pete! You know I'm just crazy enough to try this! Did you read the last post in that thread about what Pentax said? All who enter here - at your own risk! (follow me:P:P:P) I'll let you know. This is either going to work or I'm looking for a K20.

K110D AF Back Focus - All Lenses
I'm not convinced the info in that post is correct. I think the K20D is the only Pentax model to have multiple AF settings for multiple lenses. Certainly with the K10D and *ist DS, the same setting is applied to any AF lens. Anyway, there's no harm in having a go as long as you return the setting...

K110D AF Back Focus - All Lenses
Update. I haven't had time to actually change any values yet, but the directions in your post work with a K110D, Pete! (And I actually managed to get out without anything blowing up!) When I get some time I'll go back in and run some tests. Thanks,

K110D AF Back Focus - All Lenses
OH MY!!!!!!!! What a difference! I've maxed the forward focus and it appears to be dead center now with my 31mm Ltd set at f1.8. I'll put my other AF lenses on later to see if this correction is consistant across the board, but the 31mm is the best lens I own and I one I really care about t...

K110D AF Back Focus - All Lenses
The Last Post. Tried my other AF lenses. Same improvement! It's like I have a whole new kit! To tell you how bad this backward focusing problem was - from day one, I couldn't get my zoom lenses to autofocus on infinity when set to wide angle (the green pentagram indicator would just flas...

Well done. You have done what a Pentax service engineer would have done in a fraction of the time for none of the cost! 8)

John, Thanks for the info. I had formatted the card in the camera. What I was trying to achieve is to use the camera to show some of the photos that I had taken with it. So I copied about 40 or so photos taken with the K100D from my PC archive back onto SD card. These are the original photo...

Not a faulty card ;) This is a behaviour of the camera firmware - they expect to see the directory information in a very fixed format. The binary information stored on the SD card for the directory has many different forms - the PC will use perhaps the most "complex" version, and the camera wi...

I thought I would take my camera to a festive fancy dress party which was held in what used to be a church. Bearing in mind i am still relatively new to the K20D behemoth I thought I would take some pics up on the first floor balcony at the assembled crowd gathered on the ground floor. I took sev...

I copied some photos back from my laptop to the SD card. Once I remembered to put them into the appropiates subfolder, No problems. Could view photos and data on the K20D. bb2

Macro tubes problem
Does this help Mike? Ahhhhhh .... Thanks to all, especially Unlocker for the link. Worked like a charm ... now to try out the tubes attached to bellow with a 50mm 1:1 macro lens attached. :shock: Actually, that will have to wait until I get back as well.

help - k100d with lens i bought off ebay
You need to activate the custome function "permit use of aperture ring" and then you meter and take the image in manual mode using stop down metering. Not the most convenient way to shoot but it works. For more convenient shooting and full function buy AF Pentax lenses or A series manual focus on...

wireless remote for k10
That shot was with my old *istD, but the set-up's the same. It was with my old Tamron 300mm f/2.8, prefocused on the branch where the mouse regularly stopped, and then a little patience for him to come back out. Ronald, I've got a Sigma 105mm macro lens, the old, non-DG version. The DA*300mm ...

You should be able to just import the whole shooting match into the organiser. Under File - get new photos and videos you can just specify the directory with your photos and it will import them, or just press ctrl+shift+G. It takes a while to set up the organiser how you want it, but once it is do...
