Hi All,
Been following the forum for a while and found lots of useful information. Unfortunately my first post is one due to a problem I am encountering with my camera
.
For a couple months now when I turn my camera on it struggles to get the exposure correct. To start with often switch to LV would allow me to take a correctly exposed picture but now even that often doesn't work straight away. Normally after taking a few pictures, switching on and off, turn the exposure to +5 and back it will kick into gear and start working, and then is normally fine until the camera gets switched off fully and left for a bit. It seems to be an issue with auto lenses as the Pentax-M 50mm 1.7 works straight away, but get the problem with the stock 18-55, Sigma 17-70, 70-300 and 150-500. I have taken the following steps:
Cleaned contacts; lens and camera
Upgraded Firmware
Factory Reset Settings via menu
Set different metering modes and AF options
Camera has just over 22k actuations and camera stored in house at room temperature when not in use.
Any suggestions or do you think it needs to go to a specialist?
I am based South West UK.
Thanks in advance.
Mark
