Tired of Correcting Auto Focus

[pnstenquist at comcast.net]

I suppose it's possible to create adjustment software. Perhaps we'll see it one day.

On the other hand, you don't have to fine tune the focus points for the K20D. If you don't, it will perform the same as a K10D, with some variation in focus accuracy. Many K20 owners have told me they don't bother to test and set. I did test most of my lenses, but not all. With any autofocus camera, when precise focus is necessary, manual is the way to go.
