It also happenedd to me a few times. Always with a non-genuine battery
near the end of its charge. Switching off and on did not unlock the
camera, while removing the battery did the trick. However, if you insert
the almost-depleted battery again, the camera will lock again. Insert a
charged battery and all is working again, possibly up to the next end of
charge.

Subject: Stupid K-5 trick
At the PDML Marin gathering, on two occasions my K-5 locked up, with the
mirror up. Turning the power off, and back on, fixed the problem.
Someone suggested that it might have been low batteries, so I shrugged it
off.
Tonight, when I was shooting belt tests at the dojo, with a fresh battery
in the camera, it did it again. The first time it did it, I noticed
what seemed to be a normally exposed frame flash on the LCD. I have one
frame from tonight that was all black. Has anyone else had a similar
problem?
I'm not sure, but I believe that both of the shots happened with the
transcend rather than the sandisk memory card in the camera. I have
noticed that the camera did seem to respond a bit more sluggishly with
the transcend card. I suspect that these details are just spurious and
coincidental, but that was the only thing in common with the two locked
up frames that was different from a significant number of other frames.
