I was wondering if someone could help me. I very recently got a Pentax K10D from Amazon.com, and have been using it for about a week. Yesterday, at Christmas dinner, I was using it a fair bit, and took about 150 pictures at highest resolution on a 1Gig memory card. As the evening went on, the camera started behaving strangely: after I took a picture, the display did not show the image I just took, but instead started showing a "black" image. Furthermore, there were a few pictures where the display didn't show a black image, but showed an unusual green color (completely unrelated to the picture I had just taken).
After I turned the camera off and back on, it would start working ok for a bit, but then would start to repeat the strange behavior. I took a break from using the camera, and since then have not been able to recreate this phenomenon.
I am wondering if this could be a heat or use related phenomenon, possibly related to the memory card? The memory card is from "PNY" (which is, I suspect, a fairly generic card).
Has anyone ever seen or heard of this before? I did a search of the forums, and couldn't come across this from anyone else.
Can you please advise me if this is a problem with the camera, or perhaps the memory card? Should I RMA the camera?
Best Regards,
Marko
It happened to my K110D before.
The reason could be:
(1)I later found out,when the flash card is almost full,the last shot will be black.(not enough space to save the last shot)
If it is the case, just leave more memory space to avoid this problem.
(2)sometimes,the first shot is black, but the on-going shots became OK. Don't know why(maybe need warm up some mechanism?) anyone has same problem?
thanks
