in menu FOCAL LENGTH INPUT no longer available. occasionally i use a non auto lens, and it use to work fine.

about six months ago my exposure went out the window. sent camera to PENTAX / RICOH for repair. they replaced resistor board. problem fixed.

yesterday was the first time since repair i tried a manual lens and it will not function.

what should happen when i turn power on after mounting lens is you should get a screen INPUT FOCAL LENGTH that dose not happen and the camera will not function.

further it is not accessible in MENU. it is there but not highlighted and can not be accessed.

my question is HELP WHATS GOING ON...no no no SORRY. do you think it is a malfunction or is it possible repair messed up something when they worked on it ?

thank you for any input

I think you should contact Ricoh and explain the problem to see what they say.
