I got the Costco kit - think it's 18-55 and 70-200, believe both are WR (I'm at work)
Recently got the "cheap": Sigma 70-300 (non WR I'm sure) for soccer game shooting

One of the reasons I bought the K50 was the WR, but mostly because I thought it simply give it ruggedness - Haven't tried it out at any wet soccer games...
So, my question to the forum; Who has experienced the WR properties of their camera
Seems like an expensive experiment :eek:

So, do you think a firmware update might do it?

Will do - been meaning to, but thought maybe I'm not thinking of something.. experienced 35mm SLR guy, but this is my first DSLR. And really had to convince the wife to to let me get it, and now i have to set it up for her... She's not happy
Check out my soccer slideshows with my K-50, google "gators sc red 00 fall 2014" - now keep in mind that I digitally zoom in proshow gold quite a bit, because soccer parents aren't too critical when it comes to quality and clearness... lol
I will reply with the outcome of talking to Pentax

Photo 173 is taken green auto, live view, F5. 1/60sec. iso200 - and it is what I would expect
phot 174 is taken green auto, live view switched off and the display calls out F5, 1/2sec, iso200
It is the same for outside pics and in other modes

that's the problem, she can't. If it is on AUTO and you turn the camera on, it severely underexposes. If you hit live view, everything is just fine, IF you shoot in live view. If you click off live view, it reverts to extreme underexposure. Even though it shoots severe underexposure, the meter shows perfect exposure. am I missing something, or should I call Pentax (warranty), the camera is only five months old and has exhibited this behavior since i got it.

sorry - have too correct my post - it isn't underexposure, but very very long shutter speeds. Like when you turn it on, back lcd says 1/4 sec, when you live view it is 1/125
very weird, at least I think

First one (top one), believe it is matrix But why would it be sooo underexposed compared to live view? I have shot 35mm for twenty years, and finally talked my wife into a "real" camera, but she said only if she can take pictures without thinking about it. Now, i have to set it up for her to take pics.

On auto exposure I don't get good reading, and if I switch to live view I get a good reading. For example, I turn the camera on in P mode and hold the shutter button down and get a reading on the back 1/4 sec f4 at 200 iso (I'm indoor at night pointing towards my computer screen) and exposure bar looks fine, then I switch to live view and it goes to 1/100 sec f4. Same thing happens outside, and I have to look at live view and either shoot that way or switch to M and adjust settings in live view than shoot through the view finder.
I feel like there's something wrong with the camera or (because I'm a newbie) I don't know how it works
Appreciate and feedback advice or questions
