hi, i've experienced hang when using Auto HDR mode. Original k3 battery inserted. I also used OEM battery to test, but this time mirror flapping occured. I need to remove the battery to stop it. Actually i am still on the trip and use HDR mode very frequently. So i hope you guys can try it out. Please continous using it and hope you wont get what i experienced. Thanks...

I know k3 will take 3 shots in one time to creata hdr image for us. But after few hdr images created, k3 will start acting weird. I believe it is a bug. You guys can try it yourself. Thanks.

That seems to be a new potential issue. I don't have my K3 with me today so I can't test. For anyone to test for your symptoms, can you please provide answers to the questions below.

1. How many HDR shots did you take before you started experiencing the issue?
2. What mode dial were you using (U1, U2, P, Av, etc.)?
3. What Exposure Bracket Value were you using?
4. Did you have Auto Align checked?
