Originally posted by rlmartidale I am in contact with Michael Tapes, who designed Focustune and he had me look for specific lines of code in the cam.dat file with my version of the software.
Sure enough, the Pentax KP was not there, but he has not yet advised how to fix it.
Here is the line of code he wanted me to find...
"Please find the file cam.dat in your installation. It is in a path 'Resources - data". See if this line exists in the file:
["pentax kp"] = { ["alias"] = "Pen-KP", ["fptype"] = "Pentax_1", ["afastatus"] = "skip"},
Please advise. Thanks."
Thanks Steve, That is really great, I have followed your instructions and the Kp is now recognized by the program and it finds the AFA information. I have only one trouble - I have sold the KP and waiting for the K3 III to arrive, so will have to add another line of code me thinks. But it is really great to at least having the programme working. - Big thanks
Edit - Have now added another line of code for the new K3 III so all should be well. I also note that the K1-II is not included, I would therefor suggest that the following is added to the cam.dat file.
["pentax kp"] = { ["alias"] = "Pen-KP", ["fptype"] = "Pentax_1", ["afastatus"] = "skip"},
["pentax k-3 iii"] = { ["alias"] = "Pen-K3III", ["fptype"] = "Pentax_1", ["afastatus"] = "skip"},
["pentax k-1 ii"] = { ["alias"] = "Pen-K1II", ["fptype"] = "Pentax_1", ["afastatus"] = "skip"},
