Originally posted by dtra Wow, this was strange, I was playing around testing out catch in focus (it works in AF but not MF it seems) and taking some macro photos, and everything stopped. Shutter button didn't focus, aperture wouldn't change, even the power button didn't turn the camera off. Weird, I doubt I could repeat it if I tried, seemed to be the constant focus changes and catching focus. I had to take the battery out to restart it, haha, sounds like a windows computer.
Anyway, strange.
This was discussed in a thread about 3 weeks ago when a half-dozen or so of us with K-5s had them lock up seemingly when the primary battery was depleted and the camera should have switched to the second battery, or just turned off. lots of discussion raged about clone batteries until enough cases came up where only original batteries where in use at the time.
Like Jeff says, i had that one incident and no more since. But I have not had a battery completely depleted before I switched to another since that time. It will happen again, just like a "windows computer" or a Ubuntu computer or ....nevermind. Hardware glitch can lock software easier than bad software, and tighter.
