New K-3iii / not finding menu item

**Nakedgun** · 01-14-2022, 11:01 PM

Perhaps it's not there, or maybe my eyes are getting tired. I want to disable the half-press focus operation, but where is this option hidden?

Is it in here?

- Custom 2 > AF/AE Lock Settings > Still Image > Shutter/AF Button > Second option down seems to disable shutter button AF and enable back button AF

By the way, there are look-up tables available here to map your old camera's menu to the new K-3 III menu.

Welcome to the K-3III. I've spent lot of time trying to find menu items on this camera...

You may wish to check that you have the latest firmware in the camera.

In conjunction with the look-up table mentioned by JPT it can be useful to have a pdf copy of the manual (available here Operation Manuals Download : Support & Service | RICOH IMAGING ) on your computer to use as a searchable document

Yes, that's what I was seeking, and thank you. Camera was just delivered yesterday and I was up late trying to "cram for the exam".

Thank you, that was one of my first goals completed.

To be honest this Pentax worldwide complaining about the new menu, I don't quite understand.With the touch screen, I have never been so fast to configure a new camera. The logic is not too different with respect to the old one, but it is much faster now to maneuver.

PS Still wishing to be able to export / import camera settings from a file.
PPS This transfer tables, I was aware of, but the wording is often somewhat misleading. Because even if the function is the same, the wording has changed, sometimes.
PPPS No, I ahve no Ricoh camera, that already has a similar menu.
