Freezing when push "green" button in LV mode happens also with M42 lens (with adapter M42->K). I discovered this long time ago.
After some test's, some thinking and calculation, I ended with following conclusion:
- This happens, when you tried to metering situation, below low limit of metering system in K-5 (which is -2 EV, i believe).
So, you try to meter scene with pushing "green" button, and K-5 try to meter and obtaining some adequate speed value.
But, because metering system is not able to catch the enough light, K-5 metering is cycling, trying and trying and trying again... and so on to infinity. :) and K-5 is freeze.
When some light fell in metering sensor (above -2 EV), the metering system finally do it's job correctly, and k-5 unfreeze.
I suggested, this is normal behavior of metering system, so I stop worried about, and when this is happen accidentally, I put some light in front of lens (with lighter for instance) and K-5 unfreeze complete.
Anyway, I'm glad that this is fixed now. So, I may (uuummmm, or may be not :) ) upgrade from my currently 1.03 to 1.12
(I hate that "new" behavior of K-5, in comparison with K10 before, that's no way to downgrade firmware to the previous versions)
