So. I was shooting my K5 at an event today, and the shutter stopped firing; The lens would stop down (Like a DoF preview) for the selected shutter speed, though. I've read a couple posts that are similar, but I never read anything about a "Battery depleted" error.(Not the battery, tried a chinese battery and a freshly charged geniune Pentax, same result)
Any suggestions before I take it down to the shop I bought it at so they can send it off?
Just some random info:
K5 with 50-135
Aperture stops down for proper time
Mirror doesn't flick up
Sensor does not record at all
Works like a charm after a few minutes. (Then starts back up after 10-15 shots)
Used two different batteries, one Genuine Pentax, the other a China made cheapo.
It was around 95 Fahrenheit in the shade where I was. I was in the sun, firing off a boatload of shots today. (Had already depleted one Chinese battery, the second battery was also Chinese, and was the one which started this issue, and my Pentax was fully charged, but didn't change much. [It is, the oldest however])
