Now THAT is a peculiar coincidence! I experienced essentially the same with my K200D about a week ago. You can see my story in this thread:

Only difference seems to be that my camera did not revet to default setting.

How many shutter actuations on your K200D? As you sill see from the link above I have some 36.000 actuations.
