Hi Guys,
The room was air conditioned so quite cool and I certainly wasn't
shooting at rates that I have in the past using both of my K5 bodies
with the same lenses and batteries. The lens was a Sigma but still
this problem shouldn't occur and a little searching on the much
maligned PF reveals
A bit of Googling will show you that freezing (requiring removing the battery)
is a problem for EVERY brand of DSLR.

I did my Googling earlier and I am quite sure that Pentax, for its
market share, is over-represented in the camera lock-up stakes.
Rather than make excuses for poor performance I would the problems be
diagnosed and remedied so that in the long run Pentax might claw back
some market share as a

Bursts may be a problem. I do have it set to multi shot but only firing single
shots rather quickly. I'll have to pay more attention and see if I can narrow
it down anymore. It doesn't seem to be the pre-curser to a permanent problem
as it has happened throughout the life of the body. It's

Hi Team,
I shot my first gig tonight using the K3, focus was much improved
however unfortunately it had a solid lock-up at a critical stage in
the performance, K5 came to the rescue but not after I'd missed half
the action. The camera would do everything to seem like it was
shooting but the card
Yikes; not good! That sounds like a firmware bug or a static induced
glitch. Was the air in the venue really dry do you think? Very good
thing you had your backup body.
I sure hope it's not a bug in the latest firmware. I haven't use mine
for much since updating it; just a little in-office
Rob,
Bad to hear that. Sounds like an old problem.
I've seen nothing like that, but I'm only lighter duty.

I’ve experienced that with my K-7 and maybe even the k-5 but not with the k-3,
although I have only about 1500 clicks on the K-3 shutter. With the K-7 it was
a precursor to a mirror motor problem, but I’m quite sure I also experienced it
as a one-time thing with the K-5. You’ve only had the
Well, at least Ricoh hasn't screwed up the USD (User Stress Detector) chip.

I only have about 5000 shots on my K3 but have not experienced anything
like that - good thing than you noticed the issues and had the K-5
