I know that you can adjust this using a utility on the K10d, and it's built into the K20d menus, but can it be done on the K200d?

I've tried the K10d way, it doesn't work.

So I tried the K100d way, that doesn't work either!

I can get into debug on my K110d the second way, but don't need to, any more ideas out there on how to enter debug on the K200d?

You need some russian software to enable the debug mode in in version 1.30 of the K10D
Here is the english translation USE AT OWN RISK!!!!!!

That Russian software worked fine for my K10D (once I'd worked out how to use it).

I so glad this kind of thing is easier with the K20D - with AF adjustment included in a normal menu instead of being a hidden feature.

Is it possible to: 1/ revert to version 1.10. 2/ debug. 3/ reinstall version 1.30... Would the debug hold after the reinstall??

Yes sorry, it's just that I don't want the blame if your camera doesn't work anymore.

Version 1.30 will overwrite the other version, no settings are saved.
The russian software is really the only way if you want to use version 1.30.
Here's some text on how to do it link

I haven't heard of anyone that had broke their camera with using the software if that helps but still only use it if you really need it.

The english version of the russian software works fine. Just don't mess with any other menu settings that are revealed by this procedure.
