Brilliant, many thanks for the effort you've put in.

I'm not sure that modern cameras store well. If it's not going to be used I'd sell as well, and then rebuy when the time is right.
If you must store, then out in the open on a shelf, with plenty of air circulation. Keep the battery charged if you want to keep the settings, but why bother if it's going to be a long time. In that case, store without battery.

No religion please, it's very easy to offend others even when jokes are meant innocently.

Spot metering is likely the problem. Try using centre-weighted and you should find the exposures are more reliable.

Have you inadvertently set exposure compensation?

At last we got to Martin Mere, and quite a nice afternoon it's been as well. The Q was coupled with the SMC Pentax-D FA 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens and here are some results.
Not technically perfect, and quite a bit of CA, but nonetheless not too bad and promising for web images at least. I don't think I'll be using this set up for large prints, but I might for digital competition use.

Members are members though and everyone is equal - members can't be outsiders. The site is inclusive, not exclusive to all but a select few.
The payment just gives access to material and benefits that are visible to all, but only usable if the full membership is taken out. No hidden forums or secret places that create cliques and division.

I would pursue it further. The only possible get-out clause is the one we all (me too) ignore that tells us that seals should be serviced every 12 months to guarantee the camera stays waterproof. This also applies to waterproof watches.
Just go back to JPS and/or Pentax and see what they will do. If the seals are OK, then any water damage must arguably be a fault.

All you need bna220148 is a card reader and there will be no problem. This avoids having to load the camewra software at all. I have very rarely loaded any camera software.
