Thanks Alby - very much hoping it can be fixed as the sharp shots I got with it were great

Here's another Butterfly with the RX10v (which is currently off for repair) - this image is fine as you need to be at least 5-7 meters away with the lens wide open for the fault to manifest. Red Admiral by Mike Smith, on Flickr

Cheers - well I need to get the Mk5 sorted anyway so I’m still hoping that will be my main camera in the long run, I just need something to keep me going in the meantime:)

ok will do - I am considering various options at present :)

Hi Ronin. Well on Fb there are some very knowledgable togs bickering about this (one bunch convinced there is an issue, the other bunch saying it's user error) but I'm pretty convinced there is an issue with my camera (again according to others who have worked it out there should be a 50/50...

Well it’s a fault for sure I’m not sure about a design fault as the issue doesn’t seem to affect all of them. I was outwith the return period so a warranty claim seemed to be my only option- if they can’t fix it then it’s a whole new ball game of course. Cheers

Cheers

Cheers - it's off to AJ Johnstone tomorrow morning (funnily enough that's where my A6700 went for the exactly same issue :rolleyes:). I don't think it's going to be quick though and they may not be able to fix it at all so I might buy back a Mk4 to keep me going:headbang::D

Cheers mate - it’s a bit of a pain but we’ll get there

I’m not certain but I believe they can recalibrate it - it’ll need to go somewhere for that to be done. I’ve emailed Cotswolds to trigger a warranty claim.

Unfortunately not - sold 'old faithful' on eBay a couple of weeks ago. I've been shooting bees and butterflies etc which are coming out nicely but the back focussing only becomes apparent when the focus distance is a bit longer (eg 7 meters for the test shot above) so I thought all was well...

There's something of a furore on the RX10v Facebook group with a suspected back-focussing issue which seems to affect some of the cameras. So I bought a chart and did a test - result as below. I think it looks like I've got a duffer, any thoughts please Ladies and Gents? Sony RX10v back focus...

Hi George. Just on jpeg for the Mk5 as the version of Adobe Camera RAW which comes with Photoshop Elements has not been updated yet. Cheers

Hi Jeff - I’m still on jpeg (until Photoshop elements 2027 comes out with the raw converter update - this should be coming soon). I’ve read in a few places that the jpeg noise reduction is really heavy handed so will hopefully get some better results once able to use RAW files. Cheers
