I have an ESPIO 928 which in spite of being an auto focus camera, always delivers fuzzy pictures.
Pictures were good when the camera was under warranty, so I guess that the unit has taken a bit of a knock over the passage of time. Anyone have any thoughts on how I go about re-adjusting the lens mechanism.

The rear lens group is set in a helical thread and is rotated to set correct focus. If you look down the side of the element with an eye glass and a stong lamp you will be able to see the locking laquer applied by Pentax, (looks like a bit of a gear), it should be apparent if any movement has taken place. If it has moved, just rotate it back and re-lock with nail varnish. Test focus with old SLR screen (matte side to the front). Set camera to 'B' and zoom out all the way. By the way the shutter flex will fail some time in the future.
