Originally posted by kelvybear with MF mode / MF lens on myK20, sometimes the focus confirmation light comes on, and sometimes it does not.
It may takes a few back and forth turns to get the focus confirmation indicator. It's pretty much the same with my K-x.
Right and I find that extremely annoying. There's no reason for that to happen. It's highly inconsistent. I could be turning it slowly and it'd just refuse to come on. Sometimes, I'd be turning it fast and it'd work very well. At first I thought it was the subject matter and that it didn't have enough contrast for the camera to detect focus confirmation, but that's not the case. It's just random.
I hope they fix this in a firmware update. After owning the K-x for several months my only peeves have been this:
*inconsistent focus confirmation
*small viewfinder
*lack of face-sensor (the LCD does not shut off when I put my face up next to it like the Canon Rebels do, which is the only thing I miss from my Xsi)
*lack of focal point confirmation on viewfinder
*my WB keeps getting accidentally changed because it's so easy to hit the WB button when looking through photos during playback
*I keep switching over to other modes besides Manual, the settings wheel is way too easy to accidentally turn, I wish there were a safety lock like on the K-7.
