Reminds one of the isolate side of 2020 due to the virus. Reminds me of Jeffrey Smart paintings

I took your advice and took the battery out for 20 odd hours. Put it back in today and hey, its all working as it should again. So far so good. Thank you for your advice. Just hope it works OK from now on, but at least I know that I can do this. Thanks to everyone for their help.

Hi there. I have used Ricoh and Pentax cameras since 1981. I was used as a photographer whilst working as an officer with an infantry company in the Malaysian jungle on ops during the 1980s, shot a lot of polo (I was a player) and horse stuff into the 80s/90s when I ran a sheep and cattle operation. Swtched to digital in the mid 2000s shooting Rugby Union when my kids'. (son and daughter) teams were playing. Many photos ended up with articles in our regional newspaper.
We live near the beach and I shoot a lot of stuff around the beach, especially seagulls in flight or otherwise.

My fairly new (about 7 months old) K70 has been working well, but suddenly will only autofocus and shoot via the shutter release button when the monitor is on and not through the viewfinder which has always been my preference, for many years. When the camera was only a few weeks old I had to send it back because the monitor blacked out and there was no autofocus and shutter release. They sent it back in great working order, but blamed it on a grain of sand in the shutter release button, and blamed me, which I thought was rather strange because I keep my gear in very good order. Now the same thing is happening except my monitor is not blacking out. My old K-x is still going and gives me no trouble and before that I have had several Pentax film cameras which I have loved. This is really disappointing and inconvenient as I teach Photography at high school and shoot a lot of Rugby Union in Canberra, Australia as well as seascape (especially seagulls) and landscape where I live on the coast of New South Wales. This is occurring with all my lenses.
Can someone advise me please. I have read that there can be solenoid problems with some models.
