Hello again,
after a couple of time with my K-3 (last firmware available) I never had this issue again.
At least I was able to reproduce this "failure" as a result of voltage drop, by using "cheap" AA batteries in the grip.
No problems with with original D-LI 90 battery as well as "black power" eneloops.
Cheers

This weekend I was out for shooting and the failure could not be reproduced. I switched my setup ... K-3 with and without BG. I think as this mirror flap problem was reported to happen somewhat randomized and is hard to repoduce and I/we just have to wait.
No Live View.
Cheers,
Seb

Hi there,
updated my K-3 last night to 1.03 and did some test shoots with a fully loaded battery.
This morning, again I did some shoots and at one point I got the mirror flapping (machinegun style):
- AF the object with camera shutter button half way pressed down
- fully pushed the button and the gun started firing
- I was not able to intervene (neither pressing buttons nor using the on/off switch could help), and it did some shooting for at least 10 seconds
- when I decided to pull the battery out I suddenly stopped
- must be hundred frames, but it did not take any pictures
setup:
- K-3 with battery grip attached
- battery grip was switched off
- battery was mounted in the grip (no second battery in camera)
- battery was drained a little bit from previously being fully charged
- used the 18-135 with AF to focus an object
- repeatedly used half-way shutter button for focusing (this time not the dedicated AF button)
- fired the shot and got the mirror flapping
I was not able to reproduce the event.
Cheers,
Seb
