What do you use USER mode for?

My apologies -- you're correct. I thought I had checked this meticulously, but apparently I hadn't. With the latest firmware, it's still behaving as you describe.

I see now. You're right; that should be considered a bug, and Pentax should fix that in a firmware update.



Actually, it doesn't show this behavior with a hard power off; the ISO you last set is retained. This is why I didn't notice the anomaly: I very rarely let the camera go into standby.

My K-5 is not exhibiting this problem. But perhaps I don't understand the difficulty.
The K-5 will remember ISO settings if you tell it to in the Memory settings (item 5 on the fifth page of the first tab of the menu)

Now, that menu item is grayed out when you're actually in a User mode -- could that be why you say your memory settings are not remembered? If you set ISO while in M mode, and with the Memory option checked for sensitivity in the menu, then save as a User mode, the camera will indeed remember the ISO you set when it's turned off. But you can't change the memory options from within a User mode.

Sorry if I'm off track; perhaps I misunderstand the issue.

Perhaps this is the thread oldlens meant to link to:
What do you set in the "User mode"
