I don't have a K3 but I have had this type of problem quite often with my K5. Basically when shooting rapidly (single shots) during soccer games, I have the camera lockup. It seems related to the shutter release and some other operation (focus or something) and then it locks up. The electronics stay on but it will not fire the shutter anymore. The only solution is to remove the battery. It doesn't seem related to a particular battery (Pentax or generic). I wonder if there is any relationship.
