Usually the Canon cable works with Pentax... Had Canon wired trigger that worked like OEM Pentax, no issues at all. Gave it to uncle who has Pentax and Canon DSLR and can use them on both...

There is you answer.... Pentax thinks that the button is already half press and therefore shuts the screen down...

I suggest that you manufacture yourself the cable and do not connect the contacts on one side for the portion where send the signal for half press... I think that someone above mention 3 contact area. It just needs to be found out which one is for half press.
