At this moment I could take some pictures and I found something new.

The results were these:
(i sent these pictures to Rickster)
Camera was set in Green position (automatic) with ISO Auto and flash off.
1st Picture
- Shot taken in a dark house.
- Completely magenta with some noise on it. (Parameters, Speed 0.5", ISO400, F5.6).
2nd Picture
- The shot was taken for the ground with a nice sun.
- Completely back without any noise. (Parameters, Speed
1/125, ISO100, F8.0).
3rd Picture
- The shot was taken for the ground with a nice sun (forced ISO1600).
- Completely green with some noise. (Parameters, Speed 1/1000, ISO1600, F11).
4th Picture
- The shot was taken for the ground with a nice sun (forced ISO1600).
- Black without any noise. (Parameters, Speed 1/1500, ISO1600, F13).
A lot of completely black pictures...
...and then I found a strange picture:
7th Picture
- The shot was taken for the ground with a nice sun (forced ISO1600).
- At the middle black without any noise. (Parameters, Speed 1/250, ISO1600, F9.5).
- At the top vertical, and a little at the button some traces with magenta and dark blue!

(i sent these pictures to Rickster)

After switching off and on the camera it took a nice picture.

At the beginning I was expecting that was a with mirror (like DAZ says, but I hear it moving, not sure if it moves properly) or in the lens (may be some problem with aperture).

The strange thing is that when I turn off and on the camera, the problem gets fixed!

Thanks very much for the replays.

Hello,

I just bought a new K10D at PIXMANIA last week. Sometimes after turning the camera on I shot black pictures, like if the lens cap was on. I need to turn off an the on again to shot correctly, and sometimes it does not work at first. As I could not identify the origin of the problem so I can not recreate this phenomenon.

- Hardware
- K10D with firmware 1.0 and latter 1.3. It has about 700 pictures taken.
- A new almost empty 2GB SanDisk Extreme III. I never tried other. But it seams to work well.
- Lens smc DA 18-55.

- Problem
- Black images sometimes when I turn the camera on or when it starts from auto power off. Like if the lens cap was on.
- This happens about 1 in 20 times after switching it on. Normally this gets fixed after switching off and on the camera.
- If I shot at ISO1600 the black image appears with some noise.

- Things that I made to try to solve the problem.
- I already updated firmware from version 1.0 to 1.3. The problem stills.
- I did reset in the camera menu. The problem stills.

Best Regards,
RC
