Bonjour,
I received today my fixed K10D and rushed to perform tests.
The repair slip details 4 operations: CCD parallax adjustment 0,3°, image tests, computing programming, general check.
Here are the results :!:
I used the same protocol as before, described
here. I used the remote + 3 seconds, and the shake-reduction system is off.
First batch of tests
Surprise, the picture is no longer horizontal while the K10D is horizontal! It is the opposite problem of the one I had before!
Good news
, the viewfinder shows exactly what is capture by the image. I could rely on the viewfinder to check my picture is horizontal.
Bad news
, the viewfinder and the image sensor are not longer aligned with the body of the K10D.
Second batch of tests
So I tried a second series of tests. Here, the K10D is aligned so the picture on the viewfinder is perfectly horizontal. To obtain that, I simply put a CD under the right part of the K10D body.
Here what I see on the viewfinder.
No surprise, the viewfinder and the picture are the same, and both are horizontal
.
For better readability, full-size pictures are available
here.
Conclusion
So I have mixed feelings:
- I could trust the viewfinder now, I get what I see,
- but I could no longer rely on the alignment given by the K10D body.
For me, this seems really strange :?
Shall I send my K10D back again and take no picture for one more month :?:
