...or, just have another prefix? Page 264 of the manual.

A link would help a lot. I can't find it!

If the Pentax ad says/shows the same usage as caused you this issue, and is therefore inferring that it's within the normal camera/lens capability, then you might have grounds for getting it fixed foc by Pentax.

Which ad are you referring to?

You did leave the battery in for a few minutes each time? (I should have said that :blush

My manual (for a K5II) suggests this indicates the battery is faulty, but...

I've had the blinking light issue a number of times. Although the battery may be faulty it could also indicate the battery has been over discharged and the voltage fallen to a point where the charger see's it as faulty.

Try taking the battery in and out of the charger a few times, effectively repeatedly restarting the charging cycle.

Hopefully after a few attempts the charger will have pushed some charge into the battery, you'll see a steady green light and the battery will charge. If not the battery should be covered by warranty, so back to the shop.

Just remember to look surprised

Wish I could remember! It was in an on-line piece before the K5II launch.

Thanks!

Anyone know please if there's duty, etc, to pay on goods from Israel?

Seen something I'm after advertised for just under £20, but not so good if there's duty, etc, added, unless ony a few £'s.

In a similar vein, I read that the sensor in the K5II is not the same as that in the K5, it having been redesigned - something to do with the size of the photo-sites? Only saw this once.
