Originally posted by KRaZiGLiTcH I have used live view and it focus's clearly also a note the background of some of my images are clear yet the subject in front is not even though i pointed and focused right on them(I know this is back focusing) But i am just freaking out a bit due to so many people saying the K-5 as problems with AF and is off is this true ?.
By 'clear' I assume you mean 'sharp' ?
Live View will always be in focus on the subject you choose, make sure you use centre point and have focus confirmation enabled. You can always 1/2 press focus and hold then recompose if the subject is not to be in the centre of the frame.
And what do you mean by
"so many people saying the K-5 as problems with AF" ?? How many is 'so many' ?
I've never heard of any general manufacturing defect with AF on a PENTAX. AF speed perhaps, but that is always fixed with updates.

Use centre point, not SEL.
How about you upload a RAW sample of one of your images so we can see what you are seeing?
