Originally posted by ogl My friend tried K-r in the shop and said that the selection of AF points in VF by joystick is not fast and not immediately as in all Pentax cameras with AF points lightning.
The changing of AF points slow down a bit.
Can you confirm it?
To say honest, I'm a bit disappointed if it's truth.
Need new firmware to fix it.
He said that he can't see any difference in AF between K-x and K-r.
K-r is just a bit more tenacious, but it's hard to say when testing in the shop.
As for AF lightning beam - is it always automatiс?
Well, to me the AF point moves pretty fast (I'm holding the camera and tried it just now), almost instant, but it does appear to be a little bit slower than K7. Didn't notice the difference until I saw your Qs.
AF w/ Kr is definitely a bit snappier, but the difference isn't day and night.
Yes, AF light comes on automatically, but it can be disabled if you want to.
