Where is the K5 review with recommended settings on this forum .... read on please.

Hi folks

I am in dire need to find the K5 review posted on this forum with the "recommended settings" as well as the user's manual because:

1. I can't find my manual, nor the PDF I had saved
2. I have a stuck "dial" at the back of the camera ... that "AF" back button with the lever ... well, that little lever is stuck in the upper position showing a small white dot inside a square.
Mind you, it has been ages since I ever used this lever, if ever! I can't recall when I would have used it.
3. I have messed up my preferred settings and would like to read that section of the "recommended settings" for the K5 and then start all over again.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Cheers!

Yep ! That would be it! There is a section for "recommended Settings" right in there after scrolling down a bit!
Thanks!!

I can't tell you how to unstick that lever, but set to the white dot (center point AF) is where mine has always stayed, actually on all of my cameras. Good luck, it's a gem of a camera.

I think it is already there .... away from the camera right now ... I'll double check.
