After reading all the previous posts, I started to worry.

I have only Pentax lenses (and a few home made manual focus).
I have to assume, that Pentax should be good, or smart enough to make all the auto focus lenses to fit the camera bodies they sell with it.
There must be some adjustments in the lenses to make the accurate enough to focus correctly.

However, I can not quite see why it should be the fault of a lens, if the camera does not focus correctly. At some setting of the focus ring, the image of any lens will be sharp and the camera should set the focus to the sharpest part.
For example: If lens a focuses an object with a distance of 3 meter and the focussing ring shows 3 exactly, but another lens shows 3.1 meter, who cares, as long as the camera finds the sharpest spot.

If it does not, then there must be something amiss with the cameras focussing ability and not with the lens

Hi,

it seems there is a large fascination about Paedophiles .

To be honest, none of my pictures have naked children in it.
With the exceptions of some of the baby pictures of my children. This pictures, I don’t publish anyhow.

However it happens that a normal shot one has done, either in a hurry or with to slow a speed comes out blurred.
It probably doesn’t matter to 99% of them and one discards them. But there is also the one which was the only shot you could get of the subject, or it would have been just fantastic, except of the blur. It would be great if it could be made sharp again.

Regards, Horst

I can't really see why any product I purchased should need registering.

I bought the item, paid for it and received a receipt and my guarantee papers. Why should I need to tell the manufacturer who I am, what I bought and why.
The crap often specified on on some piece of paper which comes with it , saying unless I register it, the guarantee is not valid, is pure bullshit.
All Items purchased in all western countries are guaranteed for a given period by law. No matter if it is registered or not.

Same here.

I do a lot of closeups when repairing electronics equipment before dismantling parts of it. I do this, so I can reassemble it again correctly. Some pictures come out blurred, because they are all handheld and often taken with low light.

This software would be just perfect for me.

the sooner the better.

Thanks for all the answers. I will take notice of your comments. I suppose from now on I will write the settings down, and should ever something like this happen again, then I can easy set my preferences again. Thank again for all who took the trouble to answer.

kind regards, horst

I realise this, But. thats not the problem. It changed everything to some random settings.
The real question is, can the settings be downloaded to a file in the comuter and the uploaded to the camera if required?

The other day, I was having a bit of a test on my K5 with different lenses. I was sitting at home on the carpet and it was a warm dry day.

But when changing a lens and fitting it to the body, suddenly many of my menu settings changed, the camera took multiple shots every time I pressed the release. I opened the menu, to change the settings, and the menu would accept it, but nothing in the operation changed.
I had to reset the camera.
Of course I could not remember all my previous settings. So I had to start from scratch again.
is there any possibility to download all the setting and save them in the computer in a file and then upload them again in to the camera after a reset?

I think it would be wise, after an update is released, to wait and let other people do the update first and see what they think. I have had quite often problem with software updates, when the update introduces new bugs. maybe I am to carefull, but I had problems before.
Of course if everyone would do the above, no updates would ever be downloaded. This is the negative part.

I don't really see why one has to vote for the best photo. It is so very
subjective. I think the best part when submitting a photo is to receive comments from other members.

Of course all my entries deserveto be voted No1, but somehow it doesnt seem to happen.
