| Debug Mode & A/F Fine Adjustment on my K-5
I posted this on another thread but no response, so maybe it was the wrong place to post it. OK … so I find myself wanting/needing to increase the AF Fine Adjust for one of my lenses on my K-5 I've got into Debug Mode, got to the AF Test menu, scroll down to the 'FocusCorr' and can move the little pointer left and right for + or - um If I set it for, say, +10, then exit, what next? Does this shift the whole 'base-line' for all AF Fine Adjustments, meaning I have to re-calibrate for any lenses I use with this camera? I'm quite happy to spend the time if necessary, but don't want to be "re-inventing the wheel" or making further problems for myself if I've missed something. A link to a documented procedure for this job would be fine. I've had a bit of a dig around and read a lot of posts but none seem to cover this point in detail. TIA for any replies  | |

| Originally posted by stevebrot What were you hoping to accomplish by making the FocusCorr change in debug mode, if not this? Steve  ---------- Post added 10-17-21 at 12:52 AM ---------- Originally posted by vector Yes it does. Before doing this I made a spreadsheet with all my lenses and all their fine tuning adjustments. Then after shifting the baseline, I reattached each lens and shifted the fine adjustment the opposite number of steps. Each 10um step in debug will match a single point step in the fine adjustment scale. In my case I had a lens that needed more than -10 fine adjustment, so I shifted the baseline in debug by -30um or 3 steps. That meant a lens that was +2 would now be a +5 to be at the same spot as it was before the debug adjustment. Thanks again! | |
