Can anyone help, please?
I have a brand new K3. I turn off the camera after making changes to items in the custom setting menu, when I turn it back on again the changes made are no longer there and they have all reverted to the default setting - any ideas?
Many thanks,
Malcolm

I spent a couple of days fighting this too. After making the changes you need to go into the menu and save them under the custom settings. The camera won't save automatically. Be careful because all three "spaces" will be available - just because you're on #3 doesn't mean it will only allow you to save #3, it will quite happily let you over-write one of the others.

Odd one that, I've never had to reset my custom settings after switching off and they have remained how I want them. Odd!
