I have a similar experience with my K200D, although I'm also using the battery grip (so 8 AA's total). Over 2000 photos and still showing a full charge. I haven't tried many other batteries, but so far I'm sold on the eneloops.

tried it again, this time with some lenses that were "M" instead of "A" like I did originally. no issue, guess it was just a fluke the first time.
mdlarsson, have you experienced this same issue any more since your first post?
thanks for the reassurance, marc. I appreciate it!

I ran into this same issue earlier today. Switched from "AUTO PICT" to "M" and back, but didn't help. Turned the camera off, removed the lens, reattached, made sure I was in AF mode and turned back on. Still won't focus, but it's making noise. Turned off again, removed lens, reattached, tried looking through settings (but couldn't find anything abnormal)...still not moving the lens (but making noise).
Tried those last steps once more, and it finally started working again. The lens I had switched from was a Takumar-A Zoom lens (1:3.5~4.5; 28~80mm), so it doesn't seem like an issue isolated to the particular lens mdlarsson used.
Any ideas? I'm reluctant to use anything other than my kit lens after experiencing this.

yeah, I'm discovering things just seem to be very well thought out with this camera. i don't have experience with DSLRs at all, but the menus are intuitive and easy to use.
If only taking the photos was this easy (practice, practice, practice to remedy that, though). This is definitely a learning experience, but an enjoyable one!

excellent...thank you both!
I had forgotten to ask which way I should orient the lens hood to use the window, but looks like you answered that for me already. thank you for the quick reply!

I'm here to learn, but I feel a bit embarrassed asking this. :o
I've searched through the forums but can't really figure out an answer to my question. I have a lens hood that came with my 200D kit. Never used one before, but I researched through the thread and see that it's a valuable piece of equipment, so I decided to get it back out of the box and put it on the camera.
Problem I'm having now, though...I can't seem to find an answer for what the little removable window is on the lens hood. I assume it is to let light in from a certain angle? Is this referred to as a "polarizing cap" or "polarizing window" or is this altogether something else?
When do you remove the little window and why/what effect does it have on the photos you take?

Good morning everyone, my name is Jason and I'm a DSLR newbie in Knoxville, TN. I just bought a K200d and I'm trying to learn how to use it. I used a K1000 back in high school, but things have changed a bit since then!
Hoping to learn a lot and get a lot of feedback so I can take great photos!
