Originally posted by MKohoutek I’m at 33,000 on my K1 and having the same issues. I have only just started using live view lately, so almost all of those are OV. It happens in both OV and LV. I correct it by pressing shutter release again, which releases the shutter, but fear it will become more bothersome soon.
This is the second thread I’ve seen on this issue lately. And our counts are all over the place, so what gives? I’ve only had my K1 for a couple of years. The answers seems to be spend more money and move on....
I'm not sure that it's the same issue. My camera is unusable, there is a double slap of the shutter and its so violent that it moves the viewfinder.
Like I said, my (nearly four year old) camera is around 200k actuations, plus perhaps 1/3 of these in live view, so that's close to the 300k shutter actuations which the Pentax is rated for. You might hope for more mileage, but Pentax K1 shutter is rated 50% higher than other full frame cameras such as the A7III or the Nikon D850 (300,000 versus 200,000).
I have the A7III and I'm guessing it doesn't have the issue described above where Live view photos double the shutter count. however the Pentax is preferable to use to real estate, essentially just for the 'flex-tilt' display.
If I spend 400 euros and get another four years out of the camera it would be money well-spent.
