Originally posted by red5isalive Good morning, i have a problem.
As you know i love taking photos of race cars, and I am at Monaco this days for F1.
Yesterday late at the day my K5 falled off from my seat to the floor meanwhile i wasn't there, and after that it does not "close" when attaching a lens to the body.
Usually it mades a "clac" sound when the lens is fully fitted in the camera. Right now it does not.
The main problem of that is that seems like the camera does not recognise having a lens attached, and for this reason the AF does not work (only manual focusing) and any other functions a part of shooting in AV does not work.
Anyone has had this problem before? I am thinking that maybe the lense switch button is the problem, but i really don't know.
Any help would be much appreciated
Have you tried another lens, to find out if it's perhaps damage to the lens mount?
If the problem persist with another lens, and taking into account that you can't "lock" the lens, their might be damage to the camera mount, and alignment with the lens locking pin....?
Do the AF drive pin on the lens turn as normal, and engage with the drive on the mount?
Perhaps a posting photos of the lens and camera mounts might help....
