I have so far not been able to get the camera to jam so will put a battery which is not fully charged and see if this makes any difference

Thanks John it was set on 1 minute I will try the 30 minutes and see if it works in this case ...sounds hopeful

I will post the results later for reference ,here is hoping

With the contributions here I am hopeful at least which at the moment is a relief

Hi I will have to check as to what the factory settings are as I have not set anything up in the menu but will check it out but should not happen odd and a little disturbing

Thanks Don firmware up to date and I changed the memory card twice and the battery once the sympton isnt like a buffer issue its a firm Jamming with a jamming shound and feel I tried what I think (within my limited knowledge everything I could think if but nothing have had buffer issues and firmware but none like this it almost felt mechanical but this could be the feel and noise of the shutter stuck
Will try it tomorrow and just set it up with no particular target and fire shots off to see if and how regular this is but dont want to cause possible damage...

I doubt it john but hope its a strong possiblitly the other issue was stayed jammed until the battery was taken out and put back I have had the thing you refer to and is common and just delays things but this will stop everything dead,the top lcd stays jammed as well nothing I can do will change it even turning the camera off wont have any effect so I think I have a problem but hope I have not but doubt I am wrong on this occasion
I will get in touch with my retailer in a while and go there after Easter and get this sorted, its not the retailers fault but I only want the wonderful K5,despite its issues I believe its the best,Im no expert agreed
Here is hoping and thanks for the suggestion John

I took my new K5 out for its first real outing today and when I used the burst shot every now and again the shutter would jam happened several times anyone else had this problem ?
This being my second K5 Im thinking "Not another One surely "

Im glad,it has been a delight just hope you enjoy your new lens and I hope to see some shots all the best

It took a long time for him he was there at least a couple of hours and I ensured I didnt get into shot did you notice how pristine the gear is ?
