F 28-80 SMC
It depends on why it's stuck, really. If you look at the black section of the lens barrel is it still straight compared to the rest of the lens body? I've had lenses which had evidently been dropped before where the focusing screw had been knocked crossthreaded, leading to jammed focus. Another p...

Video from K5....can't open in PC?!
I usually download the K-lite codec pack, and use Media Player Classic. My K-5 videos play fine on my laptop with no problems. If any doubts, uninstall any previously installed codec packs, and install the newest one you have just downloaded, as this may be just a hickup between the player and...

Video from K5....can't open in PC?!
Thanks Stefan I'll try that one and Welcome Back! :mrgreen: the biggest problem with the player is that it's being develop in china so some options aren't fully translated yet and things like that but so far it does work very well. I used to use K-lite as well but the amount of codecs it installs an...

K5 Shutter Jamming
I hope this isn't a stupid question, but does the K-5 ( and for that matter the K-20D and K10D, etc ) actually have a mechanical shutter? When I change lenses I can see the sensor behind the mirror. Is there any need for a mechanical shutter with a DSLR? I cannot see how that is possible... if the m...

K5 Shutter Jamming
In rare cases the camera may not operate correctly due to static electricity. This can be remedied by taking the battery out and putting it back again Quote from the manual. Quote from Oggy (30+ years in electronics.) I am surprised they didn't blame SDM. :mrgreen:

I had my K5 freeze yesterday, as described by earlier posters here and on Mike-P's link. I was using AF-C in continuous high speed shooting, with frequent pressing of the shutter button, but not holding it down continuously. LCD top panel and superimposed focus points in viewfinder froze and w...

K5 Shutter Jamming
Mike - on several occasions I have used the K5, then let it hang back down on the neck strap, and moved on. As the camera back has been bumping around against my clothing while walking, the four way buttons have been pressed randomly. Voila! Next shots, all sorts of wonderful settings, including ...

Mines frozen up 2 or 3 times always after I switch on. Removing the battery has always fixed it. I can live with it at present, but if it gets any worse it will have to be sent back. Lets hope it can be fixed by a firmware release. I had a similar problem with a Panasonic HDD/DVD Freeview T...

Hi Slowtour welcome here.

Hi David, And thanks for the reply. The fault happened at various times, but I don't think that it was ever when I was continuous shooting. In fact, I can't think of a common thread - except that I was shooting. The first time it happened I was on holidays in Europe and it jammed several times over...

Hi David, finally got word back from the repairer who said that he was able to replicate the problem and would have the camera back to me in about 4 days. With any luck I will have it back for Christmas. No word yet on what the fault was but I will post that here when I find out. Dave

The K5 is back! I sent my camera for repair on 18 November and it finally arrived back home on 05 January. Great to have it back and it is working like a dream. Unfortunately there is no indication of what went wrong or how they repaired it. I will send an email to see if they will tell me som...
