Hi all, While ago, somebody referred to a post in DPreview wherein the subject method was explained. I believe the link is this;
http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message=22013971 (This Korean guy, unless he is somehow tied to Samsung, must be an expert hacker. There are so many game hackers in Korea). This became a hot subject in Japan too and many experimented. I just checked mine and the default appears to be fine but I will explore further when I have time. Most of people mn Japan found a clear focus at around +40 micrometre (K10D) and all of them are delighted to learn that their focusing is now so much better and easier. One guy (a well known Pentax aficionado) made a first timid adjustment (1 step, +10 microm) but thought he could go several steps further which he did. In his case, the final settlement is as follows (he said he would experiment further). K100D before adjustment：+40microm after：+90microm *istDS before：+0microm after：+30microm This guy found that there was a minute difference between cvhasing the focus from tele end and wide end, so he took a median. Now he said his complaint on focus was completely gone. He purchased 3 DA Limiteds, but despite of their prices, he thought AF was erratic and focus was rather soft, and he was just going to sell them off. Now he decided to keep all of them. For this guy, which is usually critical, to say this, the method must have worked really well for him. Other people want this sort of user adjustment a standard feature in future model, which I do not believe pentax would do for warranty reasons :-). As I posted earlier, there has been quite a bit of complains on soft focus, particularly between FA and DA lenses etc (FAs on DSLR tend to show rear focusing point etc), which might be solved by this. But as usual, this has to be done at your own risk. In any case, it might be beneficial to check the accurate focus which could be easily adjusted either by Service centre or yourself. Ken もうちょっと設定の追い込みは必要だろうと感じていますが、 今までAFに関しては不満タラタラだったのがうそのように快適 なカメラに変わっています。 調整前は高い割にAFが不安定で描写が甘いと感じていたDAリミ レンズが、AFでビシッとピントが出るようになりました。 DAリミレンズ（３本）は売り払う予定でしたが、やめます。 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
