Back Focus adjustment greyed out under v1.11 at DVinfo.net

Dan Smallwood · February 5th, 2009, 03:58 PM

I noticed that under v1.11, under the service menu, the back focus adjustment is no longer available, like it was under v1.03 and v1.05.

Anyone know why? Maybe V1.11 fixes the issue permanently, no need for adjustment? Maybe they didn't want us in there making it worse?

** UPDATE **

I must have had the zoom servo set to manual when I checked it the first time. It's all good now. -ds-

That's not right, my Ex1 has V1.11, i did the upgrade myself, and the backfocus is still there, i know because i've redone my backfocus.
Same with my colleagues EX1, i upgraded the firmware and redid the backfocus afterwards so there's definately something wrong with yours.
If you have the firmware then reinstall it.

Uh-boy.. Did you go from 1.03 to 1.11, or 1.05 to 1.11? -ds-

Just checked mine and it is still present. And I went from 1.0.3 to 1.1.1

I would suggest you reapply the update.

Ahhh, I am a dummy on this one - I just fired it up, and lo and behold BF is there now (not greyed out).

Yes but i had to install v1.10 first, which is part of the upgrade procedure, even when v1.10 is installed the camera still shows as v1.03 or 05, so just ignore this and install v1.11.

Right Paul - I really didn't have an issue after all, was user error. My upgrade went perfectly, no issues there. Thanks for reponding, I am starting to read through your other posts, lots of good info. -ds-

ummmm... i have firmware v.1.11_0531 and my Auto BLK Balance and Auto FB Adjust are greyed out. i installed the upgrade myself months ago. it seamed successful until now, ie: 24PsF along with more shutter speed options and so on for this firmware. how come i can't adjust my BLK Balance or FB Adjust?

thanks.
