Pentax K30 after a fall !!

Thank you all very much for your replies. I left the camera without battery for 8 hours and the problem still exists. Also I tried multiple lenses and I saw the aperture and it seemed to be ok. Small enough and big enough when it should...
The problem disappears when I shoot through live view or when I use the flash. So I guess there is some problem with the light sensor?
The next thing to do is to go to some service center.

Thank you very much again for your replies.
Ciao!!!

Pentax K30 after a fall !!

Hello dear forum.
My camera fell of my hands :( and now it has the following problem:

I need to keep the exposure -2 in order to take an almost normal photo. Otherwise the photo is overexposed, but...
if I turn on my flash (on camera flash) then everything goes back to normal (I must put the ev to 0 otherwise my photo is underexposed). :hmm:


Does anyone has any clue on what that might be and what to do in that case?
Should I try and open my camera?

Thank you all in advance

k30 Firmware Problem / Now camera won't turn on

Exactly what you are saying happened to me with 1.03 update and like you I let the camera turned on for about 3 hours and then battery went off. After that I turned on my K-30 and everything was ok but the update was not applied.
Then I formated the sd card from my PC and not from in camera format menu, I tried again and it was a success.
Maybe the K-30 users must be cautious with this problem and always format the sd card from PC before they update.

I have not tested all lenses you mentioned but I can speak of the Tamron 17-50...
I use it 99% of time. Colours are fantastic and concerning sharpness, when aperture is set on 5.6 you can easily crop 100% and even more.
It is a brilliant lens in a fantastic price.
I really love it...

Any experience on Photosniper Russian Tair-3 Phs 300mm f/4.5

I have bought the photosniper kit and the 300mm lens was my first lens after I acquired my K30.
Does anybody knows the reason that diafragm operates the way it does?
I mean when it is wide open and I put it in f8 then it stays wide open until i take the shot.
Does it make any sort of 3d effect in the image?
I really liked the results of this lens and I want to use this feature if it really gives something to the image.

My Battery just went out.
And after I switched my camera on it seemed to work just fine.
My current firmware version is 1.01.
I will just download the file again from pentax site and do the procedure once more.
I hope it will work.
Thank you for you reply.
Cheers to all

Hello to all!!!
First of all I want to thank all pentaxians for the information held in this forum.
For a noob like me it is very helpfull..

My problem is this: I have a K-30 and at this very moment I am installing the new firmware 1.02. For the last 2 hours I have the "NOW LOADING" message on my screen!!!!!

Is it normal that updating takes so much time?
I read that if a problem occurs during updating, my K-30 will not work at all.

Please someone assures me that everything is OK

Thank you in advance
