The red indicator only shows where the camera is focusing. It's the green hexagon that indicates focus has been found. And our own eyes of course.
Best regards, John

John, you (and Steve) are right. I just tried it and now realise that I'm doing a 'self check' with my eyes.The red indicator only shows where the camera is focusing. It's the green hexagon that indicates focus has been found. And our own eyes of course.

Hello
I've been following this thread as I have the same issue with my k10d. I have the camera in debug mode but can not display the new test menu no matter what I do. Any ideas please.
Thanks

Just a point when doing AF adjustments: you should always move the lens waaaay out of focus before getting the camera to AF I normally shift to infinity before AF-ing on the test target.
The 50/1.4 can be a pain to adjust anyway. It's field isn't flat, and I've found a combination of test target at f/1.4 plus some portrait tests to get the right balance. I've normally found the test target adjustment produces a measure of FF, so somewhere in between is usually good - slightly BF seemed to produce sharper portraits for me. Just a thought

I used spot focus for my tests and for all AF adjustments.
