Seriously - it's very easy to set this up. Go to the button customisation menu.

You've got the AF Button (the one on the back), which has two settings - Enable AF (which means it focuses if you press it) and Cancel AF (which means that the AF won't operate while it's pressed).

And you've got the Shutter Button Half Press, which you set to Enable AF or Off.

So have the shutter button set to Enable, and the AF button set to cancel.

Then you can focus with a half-press as usual, but press and hold the AF button if you want to recompose without refocusing.

I wouldn't dispute this. Nevertheless, the implication is there.

Suppose you sold something on eBay, and something went wrong with the transaction. I presume you wouldn't like to get negative rep from the buyer before you'd had a chance to make things right?

Personally I think it's bad form to diss a supplier on a forum before giving him a chance to sort things out, and without giving enough information to be sure that the report is genuinely balanced.

Interacting with an automated purchasing system out of hours (and god knows how often that can be a problem) is very different from interacting with a human being.

Reputations shouldn't be tarnished in haste.

Well no. The whole premise is IMO a little flawed. The idea that you'd need an electronic level to do a successful wedding, after all these decades without one, is a little fanciful, at best.

Well I'm guessing, but I suspect the OP's original implication (or at least my inference from it!) was that the slantiness of the pictures was due in some way to the lack of a horizon straightening function as present in the K-5.

However, without seeing the pictures, it's impossible to tell whether they're fashionably slanting, or just a bit naff (either in the taking or the PPing).

Or indeed taken with one of the many K-5s with a duff level (and also not corrected in PP).

You've checked yours, right?

Weren't there exactly the same concerns when the K-x was approaching the end?

He wasn't giving anything away, but the Pentax chap I talked to for a while at the SRS open day on the 19th seemed to be quite excited about next year. And very positive indeed about the Ricoh takeover - especially in comparison with the Hoya era.

There's always one.

Go on, you know you wanna
