What are the causes to send the Camera/Lens for Calibration?

Default Re: Lens Calibration

if got obvious BF/FF lor...

anyway when i had my K10D, none of my lenses need any adjustment... all look sharp to mi...

with K20D, since its has AF adjust feature, i kiasu, every lens, i set from -10 to +10, see which settings give me the sharpest pics, then i set it for that lens... but most are just minor adjustment... not more than +/- 2 settings... if u dun pixel peep, u dun even notice the difference...

Just check and calibrate My K10D at debug mode and found out that serious BF with my fastest lens 77LE. Need to set adjustment about +080um to get optimum focus. Now every pic focus sharp and now i feel like stupid not doing this earlier.

Some said K10D can adjust up to 4 lens.
Can someone know how to do DYI adjustment?

K10D can only save 1, not 4.

DIY = 1, Service ctr = 4.
