I have found the auto focus a bit of a nuisance this past week. When the subject a stone building some distance away, or a water scene for example. I have tried focusing on some more prominent feature but the camera seems to refuse to focus leaving the green light flashing. I have tried changing the focal length to maximum and this often helps. Any advise would be welcome to help me focus more quickly on the subject in these circumstances. :

Thanks Clarky
I realised after hitting the send key

I have a K10D and would like to know how to use the Dust Removal function. Should this be performed when spots appear on the pictures? or is it better to do it at routine intervals?

Thanks for helpful information. I did use a freshly charged newish battery. I have successfully updated to Version 1.3
The only problem I had was when formatting the SD memory card whilst in the camera it still left the DCIM folder on the card. I put the .BIN file in there, fortunately the camera ignored it and I was able to start again. This time I formatted the card on my computer thus removing everything and the .BIN file was put into the root directory on the card.

I have just bought a new K10D and was surprised to find the Firmware was only Version 1. I can't use remote assistant unless I have version 1.2.installed
Is it difficult to install? as I do not want to mess it up through ignorance. :
