Glenn,

Best bet is to contact Pentax UK and ask them what error message E 37 means and get quote. Sometimes the manual will give a list of error codes.There is also this Pentax repairer who sometimes has advert in Amateur Photographer.

They are Pentax trained and you can talk directly to a technician.

E37 Means bad shutter flex

I have the same problem as well. But I get an E93 code for the same camera. Do you have any idea how to fix it either? Thanks

my 105R fell into the water. Tried to blow out the rest water but the humidity stays in, but to no avail I get error code 95, the zoom drives all the way out.

thanks for a tip how to fix it.

I have a Pentax Z 105-R that is showing an error code # 97. Does anyone know what that means?
Thanks.
