  If the shutter on your Pentax Digital Camera won't release, it could be due to a few reasons. It might be that the flash is charging; in this case, wait until charging is finished. Alternatively, there might not be enough space on the SD Memory Card or in the built-in memory. Try inserting an SD Memory Card with available space or delete unwanted images. Finally, the camera might be recording; wait until recording is finished.

  If the subject is not in focus on your Pentax Digital Camera, it may be that the subject is difficult to focus on with autofocus. Try locking the focus on an object the same distance away as the subject by pressing and holding the shutter release button halfway, then aim the camera at your subject and press the shutter release button fully. Also, make sure that the desired subject is in the focusing area in the center of the display. If it is difficult to do so, first lock the focus on the desired subject, and then move the camera to recompose.
