In the greenhouse at RHS Wisley. Warm and slightly humid, so unlikely to have been static.The serious question is, have the places where this has happened been likely to have any static around? It seems the effect can happen but it has really been very rare until this spate of reports. What's the common denominator?

Sorry to see it's the camera and not the card. You're the first and only person I've seen with a sensor problem with the K5II. Hope your dealer just does a straight replacement.

Unfortunately SanDisk are the most counterfeited memory card. If you bought it new to go with the camera, AND you bought it from somewhere like eBay, then you might have a dodgy card.
SanDisk offer a lifetime warranty, so if it's a genuine card get in touch with them and they'll sort it.
In the mean time, try another card.

Fortunately Sandisk has a life-time warranty. I'd take them up on it. Details on their web site.

Interesting set of responses so far, but nothing that you can call a trend.

Top one.
The image works because here in the West we read left to right.

I have a question for you. I note the focal length(s) used, (predominantly 200mm), but what in your view would be best?
In longer lenses I have DA* 300 and 50-135, DA 55-300, and then most focal lengths down to 10mm.
