Yesterday my *istD did a quite odd thing. It got stuck. The display continued to show what it previuosly was showing, even if I turned it off or rotated the mode dial. Quite fresh batteries. Taking them out and re-inserting them solved it.
Sounds like the typical computer engineer solution - reboot the system.
This could easily be a software problem. Try to keep track of what was happening when the camera ('s computer) got stuck. This information enables you to:
1 - Possibly avoid those situations in the future
2 - Provide the data to Pentax so that they can take corrective action for release in later versions of the software
For some strange reason, we all (including me) expect software to always work the way the designers and programmers intended it to. Always is a long time.
