Not a lot got mine on Special for about $600 USD. But a Battery Grip option would have been nice as well as a decent battery Charger.
I Have purchased 2 Aftermarket Batteries and a high speed charger that is Mains USB and 12 Volt Dual slot charger.

Hi had the same problem with my K-200 D a while back was two slightly loose screw on the Mounting Ring. Doing a Screw and nut check on the camera and your lenses mounts won't void your warranty.

K-70 OverExposed a lot ISO way high

Not so much that I prefer Auto settings it was just the fact I had to ignore all flashing icons indicating I my setting were way underexposed, Have been taking Photos as a Hobby for about 40 ood years First Camera was a cheap German thing full manual with built in light meter Second was a Pentax P30 Followed by the Pentax *ist-D. In some ways I miss the full manual cameras they were quicker to set just twist the Dials and that was it..

But After 4 resets and finding a small bit of plastic about 3mm x 1mm x 0.5mm in the body sitting on top of the Light meter censor in the bottom of camera all is looking rosy with the Metering system.

Test Shots on Auto after the several resets and removal of foreign object.

Thanking all for you assistance.:):)

I have only adjusted the metering after I noticed the overexposures and set the ISO manually.

It has been overexposing with out of the Box Settings, camera dial set to the Green Auto, Bios was updated to 1.1 Before I took any photos with the camera.

So I got the K-70 not long ago from Amazon AU

For some reason the exposure is bad and blown out. I use Auto setting and all pentax lenses. That work fine with my 200-D.

Any help in plain english would be appreciated as to the possible cause or a fix
