K5 Jamming and locking up ?
Has any had a problem with the K5 jamming or locking up? As I was out taking some shots and for some unknown reason it stopped and I could not take a shot or use any of the functions or even turn it of! The only way I could get it to work again was by taking out the battery and then put it back in....

Pentaxians and Friends, never buy refurbished electronics. The defects for which it was sent back to the factory WILL RETURN at some point. Random failure with electronic equipment especially HANG UPS is often due to motherboard or component or software fault no matter what the manufacturer tells yo...

Had two “K5” lock ups, both times, when camera/lens was hunting for focus. :( Take care. Re: K-5 jamming - only happened to me twice and only using a cheap grip in AF-C w/continuous shooting. No probs since ditching the cheap grip. I don’t think, the fault is related to using an external batter...

not with the K5, but have had it with the K20d, whereby the front adjustment wheel decides not to do anything. Only fix I have found is to remove grip, remove battery and refit. Happens once in a blue moon, but as thats about to be back up back up cam, not really fussed. Also first K20d ...

When ever I have brought this subject up before on this forum, suggesting that the camera suppliers should offer firmware upgrade as a service, I have been advised that this operation is so simple, that anyone using a digital camera should be able to do it. The skills required for a firmware upgra...

I am sure that “Lynton” whose post restarted this debate, would agree, after turning his K20, into an expensive door stop. Well, with respect, we have no information as to whether he did it right or not. All we know is that it went wrong. Doubtless he's sure he followed the instructions correctl...

I have done the Firmware update 4 times now and must say I feel like I am playing Russian Roulette. The thing is, if the real, as opposed to the imagined, risk was anything like as great as you fear, there would be huge numbers of cameras going back to be sorted out as a result of failed firmware ...

Purple fringing - the cause?
It can't be all in the sensor, surely, if some lenses are regularly condemned for the fault. Some lenses are, without a doubt, much worse than others for this. In my experience, the Sigma A400 F5.6 (non APO) and the Tamron 70-300 are very susceptible. I tried to get to the bottom of this sever...
