Arrived today. Many thanks.

Glyn,

thanks but that REALLY did help............ did a search earlier, before postinfg the thread, but obviously put the wrong words in..........

Funnily enough, mine was on remote trigger setting, and then switching on only had a problem with the 8Gb card when shotting using the button to take the pic....

Since then, have reset to normal instead of remote and a 4Gb card... must have fired 200 shots tonight, just to try to kill it, and get similar results as to the linked thread - lilac and yellow......... can I make it happen? No.

Given as I bought it as ex demo body only on Tues for £349......... and had 311 shutter actuations at time of purchase (my first pic run through exifinfo)...... will live with it!!!!


Read Manual / Instructions? I have Y Chromosomes!

Came from PC world - 1/2 price. I'll let you decide of the reputability of the source...

Bizarrely works fine in the K-m, but the K20d, isn't having any of it, even after formatting in the body. Ho-hum, not to worry i can live with it. I assume k20d's can copewith 8Gb cards or larger - hope so given a raw file is 24 Megabytes!!"

bizarre - tried on all 5 memmory cards (mainly Sandisk - all fine, except the Lexar 8Gb - which works perfectly in the K-m.)

Fickle thing!

Cheers guys -

Hi, has anyone else experienced the following with a K20d.......

Switch it on, take a few pics and it freezes up. Switch it off (digital display stays on) and the only way to clear the problem is to remove and replace the battery. Also the pictures taken not written to the card - instead purple and yellow lines?

Thanks


forgot to mention happens only occasionally and randomly.

received, paid and replied!

Many thanks!

all done.

Very simple!


Thanks

cheers Stefan, downloading now...............

OK,

Numpty question of the day time, but cannot find an idiots guide on the pentax website.

Have a new 20d - with firmware 1.01 on it. I can download 1.03 which improves shake reduction from Pentaxs website.

How do I get it from the interweb into the camera. I am guessing DL and save to SD card and go from there? What are the next steps?

Thanks


Lynton

isdky - certainly did - check their bargain basement clearout section - only K7's and K'ms listed in their main pages........ helps they are 15 mins away from me as well.

When I was there today they had another K20 with a 18-55 lens I think for £470 but think it was missing a charger & video lead...........
