My K10D bought from Jacobs in 2007 apparently had a twisted sensor. Others mentioned this on my gallery shots; one of the steam loco shots and the couple at the top of Snowdon. I didn't use PhotoME until a couple of years in but found that my first shot was about the 400-and-something-th shutter actuation.

Better if he had posted his Pentax pic on the Nikon forum and his punishment would have been to write out once, "I must not be a silly billy".Take a detention and write 500 lines...

You will still hear Canikon users shooting continuously for the 5 seconds the jet is in view giving them 80 to 100 shots of each pass, I in the meantime will selectively do probably 2 or 3 short bursts prob with 10 - 15 shots of a passing jet.
It must be a relief to only have a maximum of 22 shots to sort through from a similar 5 second burst (or 17 if you are shooting RAW)?You will still hear Canikon users shooting continuously for the 5 seconds the jet is in view giving them 80 to 100 shots of each pass, I in the meantime will selectively do probably 2 or 3 short bursts prob with 10 - 15 shots of a passing jet.

I have seen similar in my own photographs particularly in rural settings, which I have shrugged off as the vagaries of Pentax auto-focussing in low contrast scenes. I perhaps unfairly malign my 16-45 as it is capable in the right conditions but dull-ish light at Blea Moor on the Settle Carlisle railway are not they!

FWIW, for the K-5 it's the setting: AF button > Cancel AF which disables the focus when the shutter button is pressed. Guess that's a strange use of logic there!
The AF button has several settings, one where the camera will focus only when the shutter is pressed while the AF button is pressed.
See camera manual page 124.
However, the OP is referring to using a K-3.
I think that there is some looseness or slop in my 16-45 which is where I have noticed this effect.pgweber wrote:

Stephen, can you confirm if you used the AF button to pre-focus?
What would cause the focus to change if the camera is set to not refocus on shutter press?Going back to what the OP said in the beginning, I am not convinced that once the focus has been set (either by shutter or AF button) that the camera will maintain that focus position. i.e. on my K5, I think the focus position will move.

Make sure the Button Customization setting in menu 4 is set to AF2 to disable focussing with the shutter button.
Otherwise all over blur is often simply camera shake.
On which body?Make sure the Button Customization setting in menu 4 is set to AF2 to disable focussing with the shutter button.

My K5 has "Enable AF/Off/Off (Live View only)" under the Shutter Button Half Press option.

I sometimes pre-focus with my K5 using the Back (AF) Button
On the Button Customisation Menu:
For Back Button Focussing, I set:
AF Button - Enable AF
Shutter Button Half Press - Off
For Shutter Button Focussing, I set:
AF Button - Cancel AF
Shutter Button Half Press - Enable AF
...and then wonder again why I haven't bought a D750 or D500!

I like the elevated perspective of 3 and the human interest of 5.
