Aaargghh!! More stupid K-5 tricks

This happened to me a couple of months ago when I was photographing a friend's birthday party. Tonight, I was photographing belt tests at the dojo. After the stupid camera tricks during belt tests two nights ago, I made sure that all of my batteries were well charged, and that the Pentax brand

Yes, it was interesting, Bong. I agree with most of what he wrote, especially wrt those lovely Spotties. Which reminds me that I should take the old SP 500 out for a stroll one day. 45 years old and still ticking. Pretty good, I'd say. I'm less agreeable with his assessment of old Leicas. I thin

From: Paul Stenquist I don't believe I've ever encountered this problem with my K-5, which operates only on Pentax batteries -- two at a time, because I always use the grip, and I charge the batteries more often than needed. I did experience occasional shutdowns with my K20D, in which I used a va

Re: Stupid K-5 Trick

Bipin, The 6 AA batteries I used in my grip were not rechargables. They were good quality, single use NICa's(?), but not lithiums. The reason I picked up the two spare was to change from AA's to another camera battery in the grip. The grip came with two different battery carriers. Regards, Bob S.

Re: Stupid K-5 Trick

I've mentioned before that the Nikon D1 has/had this problem with batteries showing half or quarter charge and getting blanks pictures. I have not used it in a while, and i now have third party batteries for the D1 and D1H, but also for my K10d and never noticed this on the K10D. Dave On Fri, Nov

Stupid K-5 Trick

Hi Bob, I am with you on the K-5 idiosyncrasies and read about this particular silly battery problem. I also read on the net not to wait for a complete discharge of the battery, but to recharge them when the camera shows half to quarter charge. Li-ion cells do not have the dreaded "memory" effect.
