You didn't say. How do you identify a V2 from a V1?

SRS have had offers on the 16-85, perhaps they still do. (Can only ask or try the coupon code at checkout!)

The extra at the wide end can be useful.

I agree Vic, but the pentax manual for the K3ii is not easy to read due to a lack of care in the printing size etc. It is also quite difficult to read, understand and use.
Download it and read it on the computer.

Makes it easier to search in it too.

Bracket the exposures. Then you can either choose the best one or do an HDR with all of them.

Try cleaning the battery contacts too. A pencil rubber is pretty useful for that.

Welcome to the forum and the world of Pentax. The K-1's a great camera and I'm sure you won't be disappointed but it will be a bit of a learning curve getting to know the menus and buttons. This link to the US Pentax forum might help getting to know the menus and possible setting changes including what you requested.
Enjoy your new camera.

Is that the camera is turned off with the GPS left on and it drains the battery, or is it the camera has been put away in standby with the GPS on?
It might be worth narrowing down firmware versions too to see if it is something that has been corrected in a firmware update.
