Thanks, P.J.!
That was the "problem". Nothing had actually malfunctioned.
However, I do think it's confusing for the camera to claim it's in TAv
mode in that circumstance. Perhaps in a pure manual mode, one shouldn't
be allowed to use Auto-ISO? There are plenty of other modes where you
can use it. I think that would be more straightforward. If not that,
then just don't switch the labeling for the mode from "Manual" to "TAv".
That's just a minor quibble though.
I'm glad that was just a case of "user inexperience". I'm absolutely
loving the K-30 so far! :)

Is auto ISO set to "On" in manual mode on your K30?

Last night I updated the firmware in my brand new K-30 to version

I thought the update went smoothly, but I later noticed I no longer
had a manual mode on the camera! Instead, the camera was operating in
TAv mode whenever I selected the "M" option on the mode dial.
Fortunately, the K-30 has 2 user-defined modes. I programmed one of
those to be my new manual mode. That will work for now, but this
isn't reassuring behavior for a new camera that just arrived 2 days
ago. I'll be contacting Pentax on Monday, to see what they have to say.
Has anyone else had anything like this happen to them?
Is there any sort of undocumented "reset" procedure for the K-30?
Thanks,
Glen
