hi all,

i am not really sure if i accidentally changed a setting. everythings doing fine the last time i use it but today i get blurry pictures even if my shutter is at 1/120. but it seems somthing is moving inside if i press the shutter. just like the mirror flops twice that will make the pics taken twice and hence the blurry image.

by the way, i just fully charged the batteries if his will help

Is the camera set to autofocus or did you accidentally move the switch to manual focus?

The double exposure could be caused by having auto-bracketing enabled. You can turn that off in the drive menu.

yes, i used da 16-45 and pancolar 50 today hence the switch from mt/at/mt. can seem to find bracketing. thanks anyway, got to figure out braketing

HoBykoYan · 05-20-2012, 09:04 AM

is it the one-push bracketing Ole? its off.

You'll find Exposure Bracketing described on pages 109-111 in the K-r manual.

But in short: Press the Up-button on the directional pad, you'll get the "Drive mode" menu. There you can see if exposure bracketing is enabled (the choice to the far right). Set it on "Single Frame Shooting" if it's not there already.

Hope this helps!

Turn off SR !

HoBykoYan · 05-20-2012, 06:04 PM

drive is in single exposure too. bracketing is off, just turned off sr hopefully this is the culprit. never experienced this before on my k-x

HoBykoYan · 05-20-2012, 06:34 PM

anybody experiencing the same problem? i hope its just plain settings and nothing more

HoBykoYan · 05-20-2012, 10:47 PM

can't believe am the only 1 with this problem?

You need to do a bit of problem solving yourself to narrow down the possible causes as there are potentially dozens of possibilities. It's like asking your doctor to diagnose your medical condition on the basis of "I have a headache".

Third party battery or defective sr...

HoBykoYan · 05-21-2012, 12:42 AM

Noted, i will check on the battery tonight.
SR is now off but i was using it before, no problem...

i think the battery is he culprit. i just fully charged it before this problem.

HoBykoYan · 06-08-2012, 11:49 PM

im about to sell my k5 coz of this problem (even posted my camera for sale)...
just an hour ago, found the culprit...
its in the switch with the select lever (maybe a little bit loose) together with the af button at the back.
now can shoot at 1/10 without blurry pics.
just want to share if somebody out there have the same issues.
thanks to all who posted.
