Hi Gary I use Sandisk ultra and Extreme but I do format my cards pretty regular and had formatted them to eliminate the card being corrupt I think (only think) I covered most things but Im no great expert but I took the grip off (Pentax) changed battery even cleaned the contact points on the mount still no luck
I really hope this gets sorted as my original plan was to get another K5 as the 2nd unit rather than the K7 bit all plans on hold at the moment

I wonder if this will solve my issues ? Thanks for posting
Perhaps they will,when testing it upgrade the firmware as routine ?

Bought myself a 35mm 2.8 macro Ltd yesterday so decided today to try it out and my shutter has jammed again and is still jammed !!!! So as always helpful SRS have asked me to return it once again which it will go off today Matt has stressed he will get it sorted which I am pleased with but how many times must it be returned.
I pay just under a grand for a camera and have problems from stains to shutter jamming
I know other brands have issues but to be honest this is the third outing cut short with camera issues and now I face another 3 weeks with my K7 which I am not a lover of
I am beginning to wish I had my K20 back or my K-m There is the issue of cost of sending this back again so far its £12 and rising !

No Shaun they sent it off to Pentax but in the interim somehow the camera had unjammed so no fix so I am really not confident this wont happen again as it proved to be quite a habit I think it jammed about 6 times so far and taking the battery out sorted it each time but the last time I had to call SRS who dealt with the matter really quickly but the camera had freed itself either on its way to Pentax or whenever and this is what,for me is worrying as I am just waiting for it to jam again and I am pretty sure it will
