It's an add-on feature. If you feel you want a scale in your viewfinder they have one of those, if you'd like grid lines they have those. Just an option for people who want something different.

Pentax is the best!!!

you can change ur focus screen with a katz eye or other make for the split prism, like the old MF focus screens, will change the way you shoot.

Hey, thanks for the video. It walked me through the process perfectly! And took away my fear of doing it. I had to clean and re-clean the focus screen and still have tiny specks of dust. I found out the hard way, you don't use cotton swabs to clean your focus screen or you will scratch it! I will be looking for more informative videos about the Pentax K10d. thanks again

a manual focussing screen has 3 features which aid you in manual focus: split focus, a microprism and a hyperbolic matte screen

Split focus is a circle in the centre and when you focus on a straight line, the line will appear 'broken' until the image is in focus, so you can use this to get perfect focus. The microprism works in the same way, the image will appear 'speckled' until it's in focus. The hyperbolic matte means that the image appears very out of focus and then 'snaps' into focus- easy

@SilnLuna I'm wanting to get a 50mm Pentax M lens and was thinking about changing my focus screen. Exactly how does it make a difference for manual focusing over the default screen?

[SilnLuna]

I have just exchanged mine, and while its quite confortable and easy to do the switching ( thanks for the video ) one has to be a bit carefull about dust particles. I take the lens off and while i am preparing to take the screen off, i place the white cap on the dslr in the meanwhile
