Wait till I get the audio finished (scream track, stabbing sounds and music).
That is the last clip in a 3 min movie. (starts off as a cooking show, turns to comedic horror).

My daughter decided to host a wig party for friends and family, and never having attended a wig party before and not one to miss a photo opportunity, Here are few shots from what was a very enjoyable night.

Our resident genius Matt Mattic is probably the man to talk too. He fixed his K10 when it was back focusing.
Something to do with a firmware hack if i am not mistaken.
If its still under warranty i would ask for a replacement.

Kit in photo:- Pentax *istD, 2 x Pentax AF240FT, 2 x Hot Shoe Adapter F, 2 x 5P Extension Cord F, 2 x Stofen Omnibounce diffusers, Stroboflex twin flash bracket, Manfrotto 055ProB tripod + 804RC2 3-way head. Lens is a Sigma EX DG IF 180mm 1:3.5 Macro.
The arms of the Stroboflex can be extended by about another 4 inches by adding more joints so that the flashes can be mounted higher if necessary. With a shorter lens like the Pentax-F, FA or D-FA 100mm Macro, a flash head can be positioned over the top of the lens to illuminate the subject from above.
Whilst the Hot Shoe Adapters are not configured in the recommended way, this setup works fine giving me TTL flash control, which I can't get with the K10D unless I use the heavier (and more expensive) AF360/540FGZ units.
The Stofen diffusers are actually from my AF360FGZ's and don't fit too well, necessitating the use of tape to keep them in place.
I made a couple of diffusers out of a plastic box i found in the closet. Held on with some velcro. They also pack flat for easy storage in my bag.

Do you have the camera's user manual : I suggest you have a browse through it.
