Another interesting point I've just discovered when playing around with the pics in the camera. The images that have been displayed correctly on the computer can be enlarged and messed about with using the camera. The pictures that have split when uploaded on the computer cannot be manipulated on the camera. When I try and enlarge them it comes up with an error msg on the LCD saying that the image cannot be enlarged.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I can confirm that it isn't a computer problem - I've just tried the card on 2 other machines and the problem is the same on all of them. I suspect it is a memory card issue. Will get hold of an alternative and investigate. Do any of you have any good suggestions for reliable cards? I was thinking Sandisk maybe?

thanks for the suggestion rdiazgreenberg. I tried doing the same as you but that hasn't done the trick. Pictures are still split no matter what software or viewer I use or have many times I restart the computer. It's not the first time that I've had it happen either It has happened twice before at least, but I just thought that it was down to the way I was taking the pictures.

Hi Woody,
Thanks for your post. I only brought the camera at Xmas so yes it is under warrenty - however the images look fine on the camera after the pics have been taken - it's only when I put them onto the computer that this happens - and it is infrequent. I took about 250 shots and I would say it has happened to less than 10% of the images.

I've now managed to upload a couple of examples for reference.
Cheers,

Hi all,
I'm new to the thread and this is my first post! I recently became a proud owner of the Pentax K-r and I have been able to test it recently at my brothers wedding and this week while in London through work.
On the whole I have been delighted with the camera so far and I am just trying to get a feel for it.
I've noticed that when I take the pictures off the camera - either by putting my SD card straight into my computer, or via the supplied USB cable I am finding that every so often one of my images appears split - i.e. the left hand side of the picture appears on the right.
When I look at the pictures on the camera (i.e. through the LCD) they are fine and appear as they should be but not on the computer.
I have tried loading the pictures using Elements 9 and the software supplied by Pentax with the K-r but the pictures still come out split.
Has anybody had this happen to them and can you stop it from happening or at the very least fix the images?
Any help/advice will be very much appreciated. For reference the memory card i'm using is an Invo8 4Gb SDHC card.
I would upload some examples but I'm not sure how to do it - when I try my page keeps coming up with a security error.
Thanks,
Adam
