Hi, on 19 Jan 04 you wrote in pentax.list:

There are several identical observations here in Germany. In fact - we haven't found one *istD/D-BG1-combination that has no problem. Try the following: put some NiMH batteries in your camera and the grip. Connect the camera to your PC via USB. Switch on the camera an copy some images from/to the camera using USB. If you don't see any problem, than repeat it 2-3 times (switching the camera on/off each time). Somewhen the camera will tell you that the batteries are empty and switch off. Now take the batteries out of the grip and switch the camera on. It will work fine although it has told you that the batteries are empty only a minute ago... Cheers, Heiko
