If he bought it new, then I'd say send it back. Why pay money to send it to repair if you can try your luck by just swapping for a new one. As for the problem itself, my ist-D started having the same issue with the pop up flash about a month ago. I haven't had an opportunity to send it in yet (just got back in the country this morning), but I think I will in about a week or so. Circuitry problems with the ist-D seem to be nothing new, in general. I remember when we got to fiddle with the prototype on Grandfather mountain before it came out (was that fall 2001?). The camera wouuld show a low-battery signal, but then when you turned it on and off again it was fine. The joke was that the camera was able to self-charge the batteries... Little did we know that they'd never *quite* fix the problem. Not so funny anymore. - Jerome -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
