K5 dead on 1.11 Fware update

That was the plan - but I thought I'd try something else if anyone could come up with some weird reset sequence. The obvious thing is see if the battery has just discharged in someway, so I have stuck on the charger (which I didnt know I had with me as I have the small kit back with me today) .....

K5 dead on 1.11 Fware update

Thanks Algernon. Seems to have gone on OK but I've had the camera die a couple of times now which is fixed by putting the battery on the charger for a few seconds and replacing in the camera. Just taking it out and leaving it then replacing is not working. I really dont understand whats going on the...

Sounds to me like a duff battery to me but best take the whole thing back just to be sure.

Take it back, ask for a refund and buy one from SRS.

Bit awkward as I had a load of Jessops & Capital bond vouchers about so I actually got the camera body for £370. No contest then .. unless they give you a refund in cash :D what would be the benefit of SRS? At least with Jessops I can walk into a store and talk to someone rather than an online sa...

K5 dead on 1.11 Fware update

Took the camera back to Jessops who did a complete swap for a new unit after I demonstrated the failure. So new body, charger and battery have given me NO problems so far :D My dilemma is ...do I upgrade the firmware? It seems silly not to as an official update really shouldnt matter. :? If i...

I think thats my conclusion, Mike. Didnt have a problem with 1.01 with the first one but TBH it wasnt in that state for long. Perhaps in hindsight I should have got Jessops to do it Chris but I was VERY surprised they had another in stock considering the palava I had getting hold of one in the fi...

K5 dead on 1.11 Fware update

UPDATE: I tentatively upgraded the new K5 body to 1.11 yesterday and have had no problems at all since, so I clearly was initially given a duff one. By the way, I used it last night (low light) to shoot a rugby match and it struggled even on single point focus to pick an individual out of the ...

Hi all from a newbee. Just got a new K5 from Jessops with firmware 1.01. Did a shoot out on a night out on Friday and no issues (except maybe focussing). Thought I'd update the firmware especially after reading the low light focusing issue comments. Latest looks to be v1.11 which I got from htt...

Good news :lol: I managed to un-stick the adaptor! With just the adaptor on the body, looking down into the camera there's a large tab on the surface of the adapter ring. I pressed the tab on the ring of the adaptor downwards towards the camera lens mount and pressed the camera's len release ...

Fitting old lenses on DSLR

A dealer set up my K20D with my old Super Takumar 1:4/150 I cant get it to focus but it used to. Any suggestions?

Fitting old lenses on DSLR

Nothing the dealer could have done to the body would affect the focussing ring on your lens. Has the focus ring jammed or something?

Fitting old lenses on DSLR

Might be barking up the wrong tree, but isn't this a 42mm screw mount? If you have just lost focus at infinity, it could be due to the k to screw adapter.
