Originally posted by fastoys2nv Hi all. I have noticed some focus issues with my K100D and manual lenses. They just seam to be slightly off when using manual lenses. I am getting the focus indicator, both in the finder and the info panel below. I seam to be in focus just slightly off the focus indication and the shots with the green light or just no the sharpest.
I have had some trouble with manual focus and the focus indicator light not being quite in sync. My camera was front focusing slightly especially with a narrow DOF. It made manual focusing very frustrating for sure! I put a slit prism focusing screen with microprism collar in my camera. That helped with the actual focus, but that still didn't happen with the indicator light. I wanted the focus indicator to work right so I made some adjustments to the camera. Here is a
linkto the method I used to adjust the focus indicator. Use at your own risk! But it worked just fine for me.
Just make sure when you calibrate it that you have plenty of bright light. Since poor lighting (and the type of light) seems to effect the accuracy of the focus indicator.
