When you say "red", do you mean the preview picture on the rear LCD of the camera?
The K-m (like most digital cameras these days) has an option to show you which parts of the picture are over / under exposed - by colouring them red on the preview. This option can be switched on and off in the menus. The areas of red shown on the warning aren't part of the actual picture file, so if you take the photos off the camera and onto your PC you'll see that they're gone.
This certainly isn't a fault, it's quite an important feature; but if you're new to DSLR photography it'd probably be better to start with it switched off and come back to it later once you have a few of the more basic controls under your belt.
Hope that helps.

Hi all I purchased a Pentax K-M yesterday at my local Currys taken a few shots indoors but although I am new to Digital SLR I am concerned this unit may have a fault.
To ensure I have not put it on a wrong setting I took some pics with the auto settting on but all the pictures are red in places and in a big way I wonder if anyone can help or comment
I have had one opinion from one person not here and they mentioned solorization
Which means nothing to me
Thanking you in advance

I have just reset to factory settings and it seems to have cured it.I must explain I bought this camera yesterday and it was the last one and had been on display so it is possible that people have been playing around with the settings.
Thanks hefty appreciate your prompt reply and explaination
Better get back to the manual now
Thanks again
