Hi David
Took the eneloops out and placed the Energizer batteries in. Camera is dead. Bearing in mind that these set of four lithium Energizers had powered my camera for a few days prior to the update without any problems. I have taken movie shots through a telescope and various stills with this set. The battery indicator showed green prior to the update. They still measure over 1.5v each, even though they won't fire the camera up.
If the camera is not meant to work with Alkaline or Lithium AA batteries, then they shouldn't work at all. Pentax don't make any mention of only using eneloops or NiMH batteries, they just say AA batteries.
I would like a good explanation of why certain battery chemistry types won't work, when all they are doing is producing the same voltage.
Try a new set of Lithium cells (shooting video has a higher battery drain than stills). If no joy, then you definitely have an issue.
Best regards
