K7 Focus Issues

Hello I am new to this forum.

I have recently purchased a K7 and I am having issues with the amount of focus correction required on all my lenses (16-50, 60-250, 35, 55). All lenses require large front focus compensation with at least one lens that does not seem to be correctable (60-250) requiring a tad more than -10! Just wondered whether this an issue that any other K7 owners have come across?

Other than the focus issue I think the camera is great.

make sure you are doing your testing/calibration in natural light.

Doesn't the K7 have a second sensor to overcome front focusing in non-natural lighting? Not sure how well this works though?

Forgive me if I'm teaching granny to suck eggs but make sure the AF is set to central point or selectable or whatever it is on a K7. Don't let the camera try and work out where the AF point is.
