Don't get me wrong, I've been a happy Pentax user since around 1974 when I had my first one (a Spotmatic F). I've had several others, film and digital, that's why I feel very disappointed with the K-30. I need to decide whether it's worth spending the money to have it repaired.

PS. My brother lives in Kerikeri, having just moved from Auckland.

Thanks for your help. Sadly I have discovered this by some research on the web. Not under warranty now (bought in 2013). Pentax used to be very reliable.

I am having a problem with my K-30. When using it for still photography I am getting vastly underexposed pictures (almost black), but in video mode I get normal exposure. I have checked the settings, and have also reset the camera to factory settings. Nothing seems to correct this problem. Has anyone got any ideas?
