I thought you were joking, but in fact this is exactly what they offered to give me, without my prompting them in this direction at all -- and they emailed me first thing on Monday morning. As I replied back, I am finally feeling taken care of, and no additional snarky comments are necessary on my

skye, Sorry to hear of your problems. I sent my K10D to Pentax to repair the SD card door and scratched rear screen. I couldn't raise Phil Kerswill, but asked for rush service. They took the full 8 or 10 days but returned it in good order, but it was expensive. I had dropped the camera with the

I would try a different, fully charged battery, and if that doesn't work, tell them you want a new camera. Immediately. I'm sure some Pentax folk will see your message here. Paul On Sep 14, 2007, at 9:19 PM, skye pdml wrote: > here you go - thought you guys would like to read an email I sent o

It's a normal function of the camera. Change the custom function to make it behave normally, (though for some reason Pentax thinks what's it's doing should be normal), Gonz wrote: > Sorry to hear that skye. Geesh, now you have me worried about sending > my K100D to them. Its got a screwed up D

Gonz, in K10D there is an option, a setting even, where you choose how you want your DOF preview served: 1. Camera stops down the lens. You look in the viewfinder. 2. Camera takes a picture and displays it on the screen. You examine the picture. Perhaps K100D has a similar setting which you c

Sorry to hear that skye. Geesh, now you have me worried about sending my K100D to them. Its got a screwed up DOF preview function. If I turn the on switch to the DOF position, instead of showing me the DOF by stopping down the lens, it just takes a picture like the shutter button would. I wonde

I just tried to do a 3-second exposure and something in my camera went whirrr-thunka-thunka-thunka... pretty sure that's never happened before. (both with and without image stabilization) By the way, I have a spare camera, it's just not a k10D is all... poor little *istD, that's not its fault. :(
