Pentax WG 2

Hello,

I recently purchased a new Pentax WG-2 "Adventure Proof" camera and upon starting it up the first time and selecting macro mode I noticed that one of the six macro lights on the front isn't working, if your facing the lens it'd be at about the 7'oclock position. The battery was just about dead so I'm trying to charge it to see if this is some sort of battery conservation technique the camera uses but I highly doubt it.

Is anyone here familiar with this and do they know of a fix?

Thank you very much!

I would get the camera exchanged. While there are certain modes in which not all of the lights come on, they should all come on in macro mode, so this sounds like a simply defect. Working on it yourself would void the warranty, so I would just return it and get a new one- that's the easiest route to go down!
