Pentax K10D shutter release won't function, mirror doesn't open, all else normal.

Make sure the software that came with the camera is NOT installed. Assuming it is with a Windows computer with ME/2000/XP. Plug the camera in, ensure it is on and set to upload and Windows will take it from there. Windows Scanner/Camera wizard will come up and ask what you want to do with the images- simply select to download to folder- from there it can be allowed to simply follow its head and make its own folder usually taking the date as a title - -or make a dedicated folder or subjects names the whole operation is controllable by the user providing that take their time. It is essential the Software disk is left in the box - it only confuses things - computer and user.

Did you put a memory card in the camera?
My camera did this today, and I resolved it by putting a memory card in, but even when one has been out before it still turned on, so I'm not sure that is the resolution. Did you ever find out what was causing it?

The picture displays after the file has finished saving - if the speed of your SD card is slow, it can take quite a while before the picture is displayed. It also takes a while (up to a minute or more) if the shutter speed is low and the picture is mostly black (taking nighttime moon shots for instance). Try using a better quality (higher speed) SD card.

Your old Pentax lenses uses the Pentax K mount. The current Pentax digital SLRs all use the same K mount so the lenses will fit on them. You obviously won't get all the features available on new lenses, such as autofocus, but they should all work fine.

Normal people can't fix electronic cameras, you need to be an electronics engineer and an optical engineer. Take to a Camera Service Centre for evaluation and repair.

Hi, please ensure that you've not used the camera for more than the advised amount of time by the manufacturer. Also, you can attempt to use the same brand/type of batteries as was including with your camera when you got it. Some manufacturers put internal fimware/software restrictions on their devices. For printers, this would be done for cartridges and in the case of your camera, it would be for batteries. Lastly, I would check that your sd card isn't full before calling Pentax to refer you to a repair shop. Thank you.

Hi for anyone reading this! My 60s was just flashing with this but I fixed it. Took the batteries out, swapped them and that didn't work. Tried to put the old ones back in a few minutes later and then it was fine! Just fiddle around with it. Hope this helps.

Could be failure of the charging circuit

(the E30 records Standard def video so it should be OK) Do you get any error messages at all? Does it allow you to record video and then fail, or can you not activate recording in the first place?

First of all, I assume you are using an SD card (Max 2GB) as that appears to be the maximum the camera can use. That being so, all you need to do is either transfer the contents of the internal memory to the SD card, or to your computer, thus freeing the internal memory. Then set the camera up so that it writes straight to the SD card.
