Question about Pentax *ist DS Digital Camera

Need a 'User' or 'Operating Manual'.

In the "Manuals and Guides" section, the manual shown that is named: "Pentax *ist DS Digital Camera User Guide" is actually NOT for a Pentax istDS digital camera, it is in fact for the Pentax ist FILM camera! Can anyone supply a photo copy or the complete manual (which might be difficult!) or allow me to borrow the manual and copy it, or supply a copy in an Acrobat PDF file?

Camera won't turn on

Have you tried a new battery? If that doesn't work the main board may be fried. Take it to a service technician, preferably one who will give you a free estimate.

Pentax *ist DS digital SLR Autofocus problem

Being an SLR camera, you should try another lens. It may be a servo fault in the lens. If the lens is okay, then it can be anything in the lens sensing, lens control drive circuits, and or lens to camera interface area. This would have to be properly diagnosed and serviced.

Why is my *ist DS eating my SD cards?!

I've used Sandisk Ultra II 512M cards, a PQI 1G and a Transcend 1G card (all high speed rated) in the *istDS. I've done about 1500 exposures now, many RAW, and have done several rounds of upload to my computer. No problems at all. These same cards work flawlessly in a Panasonic FZ10 as well. Either you have had a bit of bad luck, two defective SD cards in a row, or have a *istDS with a stuck or bad memory card controller. Try using the Reset command in the Set Up Menu, see if that helps. BTW, always format SD cards with the camera once before you start using them.

Flash problem

That is normal operation, if poped up, the flash fires rapidily in low light to assist the auto focus, on a plain white wall, it can't focus, see the manual on AUto Focus limitations.
