Originally posted by drumhead Thanks. After reading this, unfortunately it seems my K-70 aperture motor is failing.
The first few shots are dark, then it wakes up. Same settings. It must be headed to permanent failure soon. Wow, this is very disappointing. I've owned this camera for exactly one year. I love it, but I expected much better reliability. Will let you know how it goes with warranty.
this will be very disappointing if this is the case, there hasn't been any widespread reporting of this issue with K70 as far as I know, so maybe an isolated incident, this doesn't help you I know. It will be interesting to see how you get on with warranty, best of luck.
