I read that just fine
Which is why I asked whether you did what jolepp asked. I barely used dslr camera for more than a year, and only have an intermediate/semipro camera less than 8 months, and my camera has less than 4k shots on it (i'd be surprised if it has 3k), so I wont argue that you are a more experienced camera owner
.
Though I do programming on the side, and when there is a problem with multiple variables in my code, what I need to do is assign each variables but one variable to a static value, and see what that last one is doing. Repeat each process with a different variable till you find the problem.
So - again, static variable 1: tripod, static variable 2: stationary target, static variable 3: good light, preferably artificial, static variable 4: wireless remote trigger.
The only variable being tested? autofocusing motor , when the focus ring is slightly tweaked between each shot. A worn and torn body will then go all over the place, and a working body should nail it everytime. Good luck!

From post #7:
And before you ask, yes I do understand the importance of using a tripod, ensuring that the camera has a good unambiguous target, doing the test from multiple conditions (lens pre-focused, front focused, back focused etc.). I have been using cameras for over 30 years and and started out with a Yashica rangefinder. I currently have 5 Pentax bodies starting from the Spotmatic. 6, counting the *ist D which my brother still uses. [Edit: oops, 7 - forgot about the broken Super A - okay, I am not good at getting rid of old camera bodies.]
