I´ve send my camera with the not working buttons back to Pentax for repair in Holland. The cost of repair are 200 euro. They would have to change a circuitboard to make it working again.
Regarding the costs I´ve decide to let the camera at Pentax. Pity, I enjoyed it while it was working. Now my view on Pentax has turned 180 degrees.
I won´t be buying any Pentax anymore and would advice anyone against it. Not because of the possibility of a fault in the products but because of the way the handle the problems. Clearly there is a production fault in this camera and they should repair the problem free of charge. We are entitled to a life span for at least two years for such a consumer product. Mine broke down after one year.
