This AMI was trying to wait out a perched young eagle. Don't believe I've ever spent so much time continuously checking a rechecking the focus for such a long period of time. Could have been something like 20 mins. I got arm weary and kept changing location in and around the rig. I finally decided to edge a little closer, so began to walk slowly in his direction. At exactly that time my K-3 went off in AF-S mode speed (It was set to AF-C) and ran for 7 to 10 secs. I noticed it was not moving any images to the buffer and found that no images were taken during that burst. I don't believe the mirror was activated, only the shutter.(?) At this point, it's taking pictures and acting normally in all respects. I once had a shutter freeze up on my K-5 while doing a similar thing awaiting a giant Red Tail hawk to launch. Battery removal and re-install fixed it. Continual focus checking for an extended period seems to have it's circuit disrupting consequences.
Anyone? Thanks!! Jack -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
