Is there a default setting and if yes, is there an easy way to reset the
camera to it ?
Thank you !
Thank you so much for this - I was worried that I would have to return
my Kx since I kept seeing soft images (or that it was all in my head), but
using this method I was able to determine that I needed at least a
correction of -70. It is night and day difference between -70 and 0. I
haven't been able to see much of a difference for the values between -70
and -130, although I do see slight improvements the lower I go.
Would you recommend I pick a number in the middle of this range (say
-90) and test again with a different lens? Should I be concerned about
the camera if I end up on a number like -120 or -130, or should I just be
thankful I figured out what was wrong and go take some pictures?
Thanks for this post. My K-X needed +70. I'd been disappointed with
the AF on my K-X until making this adjustment. It's too bad Pentax hid
this setting in debug mode.

Did anyone try to debug a K-r? The K-r's range for focus correction is
only +/- 10 and it doesn't about the unit (um)of correction, and I was
wondering if the actual adjustment are the same for both cameras in
terms of um.....
Software upgrade for my KX works well (version 1.02) but what about
the manual upgrade too.

nice tutorial!
but a little question by the way: why not use one of this 45° testcharts? i
think, especially with a ruler or something like that the front-
/backfocus is much more visible, isn't it?
I feel a bit stupid, as I want to do this with my K-x, but I don't know
how to make the initial MODSET file...? Nothing I have tried has
worked once I put it on the SD card and try it in my camera, holding
down the Av button while turning it on. Help? I really want to try this
as lately my well-used K-x has been focusing very poorly.
