I'd go for this one, but there are quite a few, Shot with 
Natural light, and I especially liked the catch light on the ladies rear.

I've made use of the "Hold AF" setting with the K3. Tracking a bird in flight which flew past a bush. The AF didn't immediately re-focus on the bush, but maintained its plane of focus.
Another thing to consider. Do, you use shutter button, or back button for AF.
Maybe won't help if you don't see the twigs. But I find back button much more adaptable.

If you've not tried this technique, give it a go, feels a little strange at first, but you soon adapt and if the keepers improve then.......
And I can vouch for the 645, a superb piece of kit, and it produces stunning images, although not of birds in flight
Like number 3 and 5

I've got to add the quality with the Z is absolutely stunning, and I've been using it with a 45 - 85 Zoom.

When I travelled for work I was not into photography, now I enjoy it I am not travelling, so many missed opportunities. Pleased to see shots from others of foreign parts. In this the distant mountain ranges are of more interest than the the lighthouse but that's me, very nice mono.
I've been fortunate to cover the South West inc the Channel islands and Gibraltar for work, now a small promotion means I now cover the whole of the UK, so be interesting to get up to Scotland and the Lake DistrictWhen I travelled for work I was not into photography, now I enjoy it I am not travelling, so many missed opportunities.

Do you want to borrow a charger so you can identify the issue ?recieved my K5 11 yesterday and put battery on charge, after many hours the light had not gone out and the charger was very hot to the point that the battery was starting to get warm. never had this with K7 or K5

Agree with above, I purchased just a pen version as when I did some research, the feedback was that the touch version was a tad to sensitive and the pen version was better and cheaper,spent about £45 on mine 2+ years ago and is brilliant

Does the flash make a " whistling " noise when turned on, double check you've inserted the batteries correctly.
