It's not clear what lens has been used to show that example of purple fringing?

It means that after AF has locked on you can tweak the focus manually if you want to without having to set MF. The clutch mechanism that allows this is not present on the DA-L lenses or the DA 18-250mm.

The camera won't refocus if you keep the half pressure on the shutter release.

I've never thought of a poor little innocent S6 as scary!

Start with the manual, but do ask any questions that you want to as you go along.

I'll move this thread to the Optio section as anyone interested may find it there more easily.

It was turning abusive for some reason so I removed it to a Safe Place.

Hi Jaqueline, welocme.

Your S6 takes SD cards which are available from almost everywhere, including Asda I think. You won't find Pentax SD cards - look out for Sandisk, Fuji, Kingston amongst many others.

Amazon may be a good place to buy, or SRS Microsystems.

K-x cameras are supplied in kits with DA-L lenses which have no hoods supplied, have no Quick Shift and have a plastic lens mount.

Flare isn't much of a problem with any SMC lens, apart from possibly the SMC Pentax 15mm f3.5 which is pushing design to the limits for its time.

There are just a handful of filters that are strill sometimes used. The polariser, graduated filters and Infra Red filters being the most common. These are the few circumstances where it's necessary to apply the filtering at the exposure stage rather than later in Photoshop.
