Hi all,
Back from Pentax Day, I can give you my impression of a much improved AF
compared to the standard SAFOX VIII we all know.
I've not been allowed to shoot actual pictures (the K-7 there was still a
pre-production camera, running firmware 0.20), but I could play with the
camera and the overall feeling has been positive.
The only thing I truly don't like is they have inverted the concept of the
four-way controller.
Old: direct control of AF points and shortcut to balance/shooting/ISO/flash
settings (second function) via Fn button.
New: direct access to settings I don't use so often and indirect access to
moving the AF points (via the OK button), which I often change all the time.
Odd for my way of shooting.
A firmware update allowing the customization of this operation is in
order!!!
Bye,
Dario
