Hi, Looks like you've just invented a pretty good excuse for ordering the K10D!
I've not expertienced anything like this (thank heavens!), but I have an extra suggestion: try to re-install the firmware. A alteration in the flash memory contents may well explain such a behavior. If this proves true, trying this operation has a chance to fry the firmware for good, if its part dedicated to its own replacement is altered also, but any good design should prevent this from happening (firmware loading engine separate from regular firmware code, and cross-checks). But then, the cure would be to send the camera for repair (flash upgrade again), which you have to do anyway. Lood luck, whichever fate you wish to your *ist-D ;-) Patrice Tom C a écrit : > I suspect I'll need to send it in for a repair soon.
