Hi, I am Sunny from China. Just bought my K30 18-135WR and loving it . I just found one sound in my lens when I am expanding full and shaking the camera there is a mechanical sound , like something is loose inside. Is it normal? Physically i have checked nothing is loose outside.

Welcome. You could just be hearing the share reduction system. If everything is working as it should, stop shaking it. It's not a milkshake!

You should see a bar indicator directly under the ISO display, in M mode. What is showing there on your display?

The ISO was initially set in auto , so the Exposure level was not showing. Now its fine when changed the ISO to manual.

Thanks. I am already feeling the warmth of this forum . specially important after deciding to buy Pentax where as all my friends were suggesting either C or N . Strongly believe made the right choice even though there is no service centre in my city ...

Let's hope a service centre's not needed!
