Follow up - K1 misbehaving when unused for a day or two.
Another thought, is the battery fully charged and is it a Pentax one. Also, how old is the battery as they do have a finite life.

One or two others have had the same trouble but nobody could finger the cause. Today, instead of trying to get it to resume business I removed the lens and looked inside. I found myself looking at the shutter curtains (closed) and discovered that the mirror was stuck in the 'up' position. (shades of LX here). Removing the battery and replacing it, then switching it back on resulted in the same loud clatter as the mirror returned to its rest position.
So, now we know what is going on, does anyone have any suggestions to fix it?
