Thanks to Rick and Mike
I didn't realize that the power of timer is what I need: 30 minutes of
running time is largely enough to maintain the remote control alive. I
wouln't use to put off the power off. I am too old ? for that...
Thank you all,
Gaetan B.

On the K10, in the Setup menu, you can set "Auto Power Off" times
ranging from 1 to 30 minutes.
On page 270 of the web version of the K7 manual, one can do the same,
and even set "Auto Power Off" to OFF, which seems as though it would
keep the camera running until one turned it off or the battery was dead.

This happens on the K10D also...and
I've been waiting 2 years for a
firmware fix.
So they didn't fix it on the K20D, nor on the K-7?
Shocking. No, wait:
Appalling. Pentax doesn't shock me anymore when they do
(and sometimes
don't do) random stuff.

Hello everyone!
Is there a way to maintain the activation of a remote control on a K7
or other? After a certain time, seconds, the remote is sleeping and
has
to be re-activated with the shutter (half press). That's not very
useful. Pentax could make a firmware ajustement, isn't, like the OK
button.
Thank you all,
GB
My *ist DL2, the cheapest and nastiest DSLR Pentax ever made:
Menu -> setup -> Auto power off -> off
Problem solved?
New problem: how long will my batteries last?
I don't see any way to turn off the meter deactivation.
