From your avatar, that should suit you well sir!2 days from now is a KP, 8 days is a K70.

Plus, of course, I only have a 'tache and I'm certainly not going to grow a beard just on the off-chance I win some oil.
Mind you, I did have a big bushy beard for most of my adult life, but managed to shave it off (I got bored one Bank Holiday), a few years before the Hipster craze started...

The lens has a position where it is shortened for more compact storage. Just click it out until it enters the place where zooming, and operation, can start. At least on Pentax Q lens does the same thing. It's intentional, not a fault.
Even more fun on my Nikon 1 kit lenses - it has a button you have to press to rotate the lens to a usable position.The lens has a position where it is shortened for more compact storage.

One good thing - if you do that while the cameras are off, it turns them on for you. And vice versa!

@johnha
Well, having agreed that what you say makes sense and Pentax were probably right about their update procedure, I've just updated the firmware in my recently acquired Q10 and 02 Standard Zoom lens.
They get firmware updates by the menu/firmware-version screen option I mentioned.
Ricoh/Pentax being inconsistent? Oh, say it ain't so!

Well Staines has certainly changed since I was last there! I recognise the spot on the Thames and the town hall.
The Colne used be not much more than dodgy canal I seem to remember. No idea where Two Rivers or the Samsung building are!
The Colne runs through a SSSI, iirc, so they probably had to clean that bit of it up, plus Two Rivers is on both sides of it, so that bit had to be cleaned up - even had swans nesting on that bit of it at one point!Well Staines has certainly changed since I was last there! I recognise the spot on the Thames and the town hall.

Two Rivers is behind the shops on the other side of the High Street from the Elmsleigh Centre, the Samsung building is behind the Elmsleigh Centre, to the left as you face toward the High Street.

A few test shots from my 'new' Q10...
Samsung Tree by SteveH, on Flickr
The perils of overenthusiastic pruning!
Footbridge over the River Colne by SteveH, on Flickr
Plus a weir and the back of the McD's drive-through.
Two Rivers Stone by SteveH, on Flickr
The stone spent a couple of years without any writing on it, leading to some confusion about what it was for.
The Old Town Hall and Fire Station by SteveH, on Flickr
A fine old Victorian building that they want to turn into 'luxury' flats. Like Staines needs more of them.
Abandoned Boat by SteveH, on Flickr
Been there over a year, but finally been re-floated.
An interesting little camera, but a pig to use in bright, low sunshine!
Oh, and a couple more test shots in that Flickr folder.
