Hi, I'm new to this forum, new to the K10D, but not new to photography or DSLRs. My K10D is new out of the box. Tried it in the shop... Fine. Went to the Italian and French Alps and started taking photos from the car (fun). Camped. Not very cold... between 7 and 25 degrees C. I was using the standard 18-55mm lens in good light. A bit of wet weather. I was cautious to protect the camera from excessice moisture but...
Has anyone ever had an image taken show up in preview as pure bright purple? or just black?
This problem seemed to clear up when the sun had hit and made the temperature much nicer but I was surprised that a brand new camera, especially with all the sealing that Pentax had boasted about would suffer so much in just slightly moist conditions... Altitude was around 1350m also so it couldn't be that.
It did work but I had to turn it on and off and on and off etc. a few times before it started behaving... I'm a bit worried there's a dodgy seal somewhere.
Any ideas anyone?...
Ian
