Set up a button to lock out autofocus.
Pre focus and then lock out autofocus. When you press the shutter, it'll take
the picture.
Or, just shoot manual focus.
On the K-10 and K-20 you can set auto-focus to work only with the AF
button on the back and NOT the shutter release. Leave it on AF.C all the
time, and it will only focus when you are pressing the AF button.
Probably can do it on the K-7, K-x and K-5.
Didn't learn this trick while I was still shooting with the *ist-D, but
it has the same AF button on the back, so it might work with any of the
Pentax DSLRs.
Takes getting used to doing it that way.
