AF adjustment on individual lens

lotech · 02-14-2016, 03:13 AM

Hi there,

I am using the K3, and I got focusing problem with my HD 55-300, it is little bit off just like my old 50-300, I see that there is a fine AF adjustment (#26) that I could apply to individual lens, but I don't know if the settings is stored on the lens or the camera, it could be only my copy of the lens not the problem in general, any idea ?

The corrections are stored in the camera.

Your lens could very well not require any corrections on a different body, or it might need more. That's why corrections are specific to each camera-lens pair.
