Try setting the lens to manual focus and see that makes a difference.

Thanks, Mathew!
AFS setting is Shutter Priority.
In this setting the focus is set in
the first frame and does not change
to follow the target even to hold
focus. Only to be used for a stationary target. It is stated in the
specs to fire at a rate of 8.3 frames
per second due to it's firing in
"fixed focus."

Is it possible that a camera setting is the problem?
The default setting for "Action in AF.C Continuous" (C3.17 in the menu
system) is "Focus priority". That means the camera will prioritize getting
the shot in focus, rather than shooting at the fastest rate. It might seem
erratic or slow. You could try setting it to "FPS priority" and see if it
works better for you. See page 45 of the manual for more information.

Anyone using the Pentax K3ll? Have you used "H" burst rate setting in AFC?
If so, what do you think of the
frame rate. Sluggish and irregular or aggressive and crisp?
I regularly use TAv setting with a 2000 to 2500 shutter and, of course,
Auto ISO. I just wore out my K3 and
am attempting to replace it with another. I've received two replacement
K3's. Returned the initial replacement
due to a sluggish and slow AFC frame rate and am now considering doing the
same with it's replacement.
I see the date 2013 in the K3 literature and can imagine their getting old
and stiff for having sat around in
boxes for 4 or 5 years.
I see the K3 is priced slightly higher than the newer K3ll. Obviously
wondering why that is.
My question is, have you used the described high speed shutter setting and
care to let me know what you think
about it.
Thanks!
