Clicking noise on long exposure

tuggie76 · 12-31-2011, 06:39 PM

Hi there, my k200d just started a clicking sound when taking exposures over 1.5 seconds, even when mounted on a tripod, shake reduction on or off.It sounds like the shake reduction kicking in.

I'd appreciate any advise.

Yup that sounds like SR- does it still happen with the selft timer option enabled?

Hi Adam, yes it happens on any setting with the exposure over 1.5 seconds

Just got the estimate from pentax Canada, they have to repair the printed circuit, it will cost $200.00, cheaper than a new camera and to replace it would be a major upgrade, so I'm having it fixed.
