Ok guys, thanks for this great forum! I hope I can find some help for my problem!
I bought my K5 a few weeks ago (online from a UK dealer) and I was very happy with her but......today something strange happened while i was shooting around 25 photos using the built in flash. I was shooting flowers out in my garden and, as usual after my shooting session I closed the built in flash and went inside to download them to my pc. I was smelling like something was burning but I did not paid attention to that, I thought it was coming from somewhere like my neighbour's house.
While I was connecting the camera to my laptop I laid a hand on top of the camera and I noticed it was quite hot. So I opened the flash and I found out the smell was coming from the flash itself! I examined it with a 8x mag and took some pics. It looks like something melt. It looks like some metal tiny wires (used maybe to dissipate heat) melt!
Now I don't know what to do I'm scared to take photos I don't want the flash to blow on my face!

What should I do now? Help!!
Thanks
