(Repost in plain text. Sorry if this generates a duplicate) Im having problems with my K-5/BG-4 combo. Even with a fully charged battery in the camera and brand new AAs in the grip, the camera reports near or full depletion, however it appears to remain usable if I select Body First. I reports depleted and dies rapidly if I set the camera to Grip First.
I have tested the grip on my K-7 with no problems so I assume it is the camera. The problem started suddenly on a recent trip where I had used the camera/grip combo for several days with no issues. Sadly Eric Hendrickson doesnt do digital bodies and CRIS no longer services Pentax. Having read recent reports of extended repair delays and mixed results at Precision Camera, I am hesitant to go that route as long as my camera is usable. Any advice on my K-5/BG-4 issues, other repair options or additional experience with Precision Camera would be greatly appreciated.
