My K5 is suddenly slow processing

ChucK20D · 12-31-2017, 12:10 AM

Howdy folks.

My K5 has become slow.
When I take a shot a small hour glass appears on the LCD.
I normally shoot raw, and that's never happened.
It is slow processing with JPG as well. I also changed cards, and removed the GPS.
Still slow...

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks,
Chuck

This also happens when you have lens distortion corrections enabled, as running this is a time-consuming task. Could also be the SD card.

As is well now.
