RE: IR enablement and K10D focus adjustment questions
Focusing for IR was a bit different from regular light. I wonder if they have adjusted the camera for that or it just happens to BF.?? Dave Of course, that is why it needs adjusting. Now the question is whether to do it in hardware or software and which way would work best on firmware 1.31. kris You guys are no help :P Ended up using MODSET.TXT.. now to test it with all the lenses. kris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

You can either google-fu or pentaxforums-search the article that explains how to effectively hack into service menu of K10D where you could do some AF adjustments... Though I've K10D, I neither had a need nor nerves to do it...

My initial assumption was that the service menu wouldn't provide the necessary amount of adjustment necessary for IR and I would have to adjust the screw at the bottom of the body but it seems that the adjustments in the menu can be quite substantial - and more than adequate. kris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Boris For future reference (note to self) - this doesn't adjust AF - it adjusts the position of the sensor. So you can have both AF and MF working spot-on with IR. kris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: IR enablement and K10D focus adjustment questions
Did they replace the filter with clear glass, or just remove the filter?

Replaced the original filter with a 720nm IR one that blocks visible light (more or less) - my goal with this was quick and painless infrared. kris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
