K3 LCD screen not turn off

Hi there,

I just discover a problem with my K3, when shooting in low light, I can see the LCD screen not completely turn off in standby mode, it keeps dimly lit, I won't see this in normal day light, so I don't know this is a fault or 'normal' on the K3. The screen will completely turn off briefly after a shot, and then light up again, am I alone on this ?

What firmware version are you running? And which LCD screen - there are two of them (top and rear)?

There was a problem with v1.20 where the rear-LCD screen would stay on when it shouldn't. The latest version (v1.21) fixed that. Maybe it's time to update.
