They can take the adjustment away with a firmware change, but then that new firmware would need to add features that will entice people to update to it, and a pretty valid reason for deleting a feature that allows the user to repair a known issue that affects every camera maker, not just Pentax. As an example, I'd like to see a revision that allows turning off NR completely, but it wouldn't be enough to make me update if I lost the ability to fine tune the AF. They would also get lenses returned en masse from people who wanted their lenses to AF correctly, swamping their service departments with frivolous warranty issues. I'd even bet thet the Yanks would start a class action.
