The K-5 is similar, but you need to install PKTether
to turn it on via the USB lead link
Turn it off from the camera menu when done.
Don't adjust anything other than the correction amount under
debug..... See the K-x screenshots (similar to K-5).

Hi Algi, thanks for this suggestion, very helpful. I know how to enter Debug Mode on the K-x, but how is it done on the K-5? Is the same modset file that is used for all cameras?If they are all on the + side you could enter Debug Mode

'Adjust All' and 'Adjust One' are not cumulative, and I don't think the Debug hack is available for the K5, so it'll need mechanical re-calibration.dpm wrote:
try "apply all" of 8 and then do individual calibrations again.
Hi, I have the same issue with my K-5 almost all of my lenses have to be +10. Recently I bought 21mm ltd and had to return it as it needed more than +10 units. So sad it is limited only to +/-10, up to 20 should be ideal. I have tried as you recommended, first "apply all" of +10 and then +10 for "this one" and I cannot see any difference. I think you can use either all or one, not a combination of both. In the manual, there is written that using "all" and saved overrides "one".try "apply all" of 8 and then do individual calibrations again.

and change the setting to +100 which is the same as +10.
Your lenses should then be around +/- 0
The +/- 10 in the normal menu isn't enough it should be
+/- 20, but I've never seen anyone asking for that in any
threads asking Pentax for improvements.

Hi Gents,
A question. If I turn off the SR, is it that there should be no noise at all?.
Cheers

Hello to all,
Just joined the forum, a few months ago I switched from Nikon to Pentax being pleased with K-5 in hand. So, lets see how it goes with Pentax.
Cheers,
Tom

Maybe you can help. I have K-5 and Nikon SB-700 set as a slave on remote mode and is fired by the on-board flash. I have tried every possible setting and each time the off camera flash fires too early as the on-board flash does the pre-flash. So, in result I have a picture with the light from the on-board flash. Do you know how to turn off the pre-flash???
Thanks in advance.
