Impact & LeDave...thanks for the comments.
The flash buzzing actually only happened when I was indoors in the afternoon taking pics of my daughter who was maybe 3-5 feet away.
I was actually outside today taking pics and didn't notice any flash buzzing.
I'll try your recommendations tomorrow when I play with the camera.
I'm glad that there's nothing wrong with this thing. I really enjoy the pics and the user experience vs. a point and shoot camera. I'm hoping to continue to learn a lot and maybe step up to a better Pentax in the future.

Hello all. I just got a new Pentax K2000 from eBay. I've been trying to use it as much as I can. I've taken about 500 pics so far.
There are times when I press the shutter button and the flash will come on and make a electric buzzing sound but the camera will not take a picture. There are also times when I'll press the shutter and the camera sounds like its trying to focus but doesn't take a picture. This happens only intermittently and is remedied if I turn the camera off and on.
It happens with both DA-L lenses the camera came with. I called Pentax customer support and they had me reset the camera settings. They also instructed me to change the batteries to Li-Ions (I was using eneloop 2000mAH rechargable's initially). Still happens.
I dont know if this is a problem or if I am just doing something wrong. I can't find anything about this in the manual or on-line so I am hoping someone here can help. I'd hate to have to return this or bring it in for service so soon.
Thanks.
