Unintentional double exposures in K-1 mk II?

**EstimatedEyes** · 09-14-2018, 06:20 PM

Has anyone had this happen to them? Multi exposures when not in multi mode.

Relatively new (<1000 actuations) K-1 mk ii I was up in Yosemite last week and about 35 of the first 40 or so pics I shot came out as multi exposures. I am 99% certain it was not in multi-exposure mode. All the rest of the shots came out fine. I did not notice this until I got back and loaded them up in Lightroom. I was on 1.0 but just updated to 1.02 so maybe that will fix it.

Unless you set custom function #20, it is easy to inadvertently switch modes (i.e. if your face pushes against the 'up' button). What does your exif say about the drive mode?

I have looked and can't find the drive mode in the EXIF data. Shooting mode (Av) shows up, but not the drive mode. They all have only a single set of exposure data (ss, f/stop) which I assume would differ or be n/a if it was a true multi exposure?

Also Custom function 20 is change AF Point Button option. Are you referring to C19 (Enable/Disable Control with lock button)?
