The K3ii manual (such as it is) only speaks about the use of a card, which must be present - either Eyefi or Flucard. What is this integrated wi fi being spoken of? Also, I got a Flucard not long ago. After mega frustrations trying to get it to work I gave up.
Most/(all?) cameras after the K3II have WiFi built in I believe.

But will only work on cameras with integrated Wi-Fi, so nothing before K3II unfortunately.

I too think it's a shutter related fault code. If so, I'm afraid it's unlikely you'll be able to fix it yourself and the camera won't be worth sending off for repair.

You may be better off looking at Pentax film SLR cameras, as they were designed for a different type of photographer than the Espio was aimed at and were built accordingly. The Espio was really a cheap and cheerful point and shoot camera.

Welcome!

I love York. Very photogenic, especially when compared to South London!

He shoots 30-60 frames per second, then stitches them together in Photoshop.

To answer my own question - how?

Bou snaps hundreds of photos of birds in flight and stitches them together in Photoshop, compressing several seconds of movement into one frame.

Bou realized he needed to combine multiple shots, a technique that draws on the chronophotography that Étienne-Jules Marey and Eadweard Muybridge pioneered in the 19th century. It worked exactly as he envisioned.

Bou uses a variety of cameras, including a Sony F27 and Blackmagic Ursa Mini 4K, and shoots 30 to 60 frames per second. A final image might include more than 600 shots woven together into amazing patterns—the black slash of starlings, the lazy loops of storks, the frenetic lines of swifts. The shapes are as varied and beautiful as the birds that created them.
