I'm aware.
As I tell my own kids, don't put it in email or or on the web if you
wouldn't want me to see it. (and they say: "Hahaha! We don't use
email!") :)
It wouldn't bother me if someone were to find these comments... I'm
just not ready to mount a public shaming campaign of Pentax on
faceboo
Thanks, Paul, Maybe all is not lost. I'll check out that tutorial...
and take another look at the footage for any salvageable bits...

All is not lost for stills if your husband got some decent video with
the K-01. In LR4 you can copy a single frame as a jpg at the same
resolution as the video.
It's explained just after the 5 minute mark in the video tutorial on
this page...

Yes, I was thinking that would have been a fine idea, as my camera is
20 month old already... I was wondering how much that would have cost
me, so I went out to B&H to check... that item is discontinued!

I hear what you are saying, and I know some have had success with that

the Rear e-Dial playing truant randomly, so I moved Aperture & Shutter
change back to the Front e-Dial, which is the default setting.

I find these reports of premature K-5 issues a little disconcerting. I
don't know if any of you use Twitter (or other social media) but
making a little noise on there (and directing comments to Pentax Ricoh
Japan, as well as in your home country) could get you a little
expedited attention.
On Sun,
Ah...yikes. Well, I would think you still have a good case... I hope it all
works out in your favor.

No, according to the tech I took it to first (assuming it to be a less serious
issue) took one look at it and told me the shutter has collapsed and must be
replaced. Basically the shutter doesn't retract fully so you are left with a
black stripe across the top of all of the images. If you go thr
Shutter failed? As in "mirror flop"? Google that, if you haven't already...
It's a well known problem, mine had it, was repaired with a new mirror/shutter
assembly, as I recall... They should fix it, free, IMHO.
Good luck!

Thanks, Walt.
I recommend keeping the k20 in the bag. And keeping the bag with you.

Thanks, Christine.
I'm not holding out much hope for the video producing any decent stills. My
husband was sort of pointing the k-01 in the general direction of the track,
from 12 rows up in the bleachers, all while yelling himself hoarse. But, I'll
check.

Thanks for the sympathy... Funny how you never need that back up until you
really really need it. I didn't need it 10 minutes, five minutes, one minute
before the k-5 failed. But when it failed, it certainly did so in craptacular
fashion. I had a moment's panicked thought of ripping the k-01
My K5 is waiting for repair at the local Pentax importer. The shutter failed
after only 8000 shots so I am hoping to get it fixed free under our consumer
protection laws even though it is out of warranty.

I believe LR4 will let you pick out individual frames. Not at home so I can't
check for sure, but I seem to remember a David Ziser tutorial on doing that.

Well, my 7 year old K100d has some kind of reset every other month, where it
forgets all settings. And the autofocus is not the best. But when I hear this I
think I can wait a bit longer with an upgrade. It never needed to be sent out
for repair.

That sucks. I've been traveling light on assignments now and then, leaving the
backup home. It's no consolation, but at least you've taught me a lesson.
