Sorry Stefan, but you are not getting the point, you are I assume completely computer competent, I like many others are not.

Anything is simple if you understand it, I do not understand computers. I am able to type a comment but that’s it.
Computers were not around in late 1940/early 1950, when I was at school.

That is also the reason that I have no images uploaded to this site or the other site I log into, (The Disabled Photographers Society).
I do not have the know how, I am sorry but that's the way it is.



Take care and, thanks for trying to be helpful.

Hi all.

Sorry to stir up a hornets nest, re hacking software or not etc.
All I was trying to do, was to thank everyone, for their input re the K10 lens focus adjustment, and to point out that not all of us have computer skills.

I was an Industrial Electrical Engineer, (now retired), when it comes to heavy / high power, distribution I am in my comfort zone, but I don’t expect, everyone to have skills in that field.

Take care.

Thanks to Johnx & i-Berg.

Sorry, I don’t know how to link your posts to this.


The debug.
Not an option for me then, cannot risk that, because if it can go wrong, it will go wrong for me.
Mine is the glass that is always half empty.

Also I think it would be beyond my computer skill level.

Many thanks for the info though.

Take care.

Many thanks to Anva and Smeggy, for your input.

I have had a look on my K10, and I don’t have a debug option, but I think my firmware is the original, so maybe the debug was added in a later version.

Its not that much of a problem, its just that the focus does not have that, what I would call punch.

My wife uses a “Canon Power Shot A640”, only ever on set to auto everything, but the focus is spot on, also the annoying thing is,she is a far better photographer than me. She has that photographic eye, for composition.
Her dad was a very good artist, need I say more.


Take care and thanks again.

Many years ago, I was on one of the activity type management courses, did not get a lot out of it, but one comment stuck with me.

That is, “you get far more out of a person by encouragement, than you do from instruction”.

I think this holds true with photography, and constructive criticism.

Take care.

Interesting, this is maybe the reason I have never obtained, what I would call, pin sharp focus with digital, the way I did with my spotmatic II, and film.

I have a K10D, can the focus be fine tuned with this camera ?.

Many thanks.

I would like to do a lot of street/life, type photography, but I just don’t have the spherical’s, to go and do it.

So when all of the visitors have returned home at the end of the summer, (what summer), I will return to seascapes, this I can do mostly sitting in my car, as I am not that mobile. Due to dam MS.



Take care.

Many thanks to Gwyn and Karma.
For your input/advice, but I am afraid that each case is beyond my computer skills.


Take care.

Mine is just blank, as I would not know how to change it to anything other ??.
There are some of us, that are not computer tech wizards.



Take care.

Interesting view of Falmouth Bay, never seen that angle before.
