A bit more information... I was using the Pentax m42 adapter and my
S-M-C 50mm Macro f4 (which I use a lot) in M mode when it started
acting up. Noticed that the battery power was showing half-full
(which, with Eneloops, seems to mean "just about out"). So put in a
freshly charged set of Eneloops. Same problems. Switched back on the
kit lens and switched to P mode. Same problems. Intermittently OK
shots with a bunch of not OK shots. Cleaned the contacts on the kit
lens and camera with a pencil eraser. Tried a couple. One worked the
other didn't.
Put on a near mint Pentax-A 70-210mm and it is working fine (so far)
including Live View shots in AV mode.
The sometimes works/sometimes not makes me think some kind of
electrical contact is wonky somewhere.
Here's a wild thought: have you considered sending it in for repair?
