Originally posted by odyseuss They eventually fixed mine and sent it back to me last month. My K-1 is still under warranty, so the service is free.
According to the repair ticket, they also did recalibration, realignment, and test to the camera's AF unit. On top of
that, the interior and exterior of the camera have also be cleaned. It took some time, but the camera came back in
good shape. Overall, I'm happy with their service.
I had been using Av systematically these last 2 months with my K-1, when the mode setting suddenly went over to Tv or P, M and B sporadically without any way of getting the other settings... A slight sidewise pressure on the knob would also change the setting... The camera was always used in good conditions this last year, without any shocks or having being dropped. Camera serial #6362xxx.
So, I sent my camera for repairs to the Pentax repair service in Switzerland (K.A. Jäger AG, Oberebenestasse 67A, CH-5620 Bremgarten) who repaired the mode setting defect, checked the camera functions and did other necessary adjustments. The camera was returned within the same week. Repairs free of charge, under guarantee.
I can fully recommend their service.
