On my Pentax Z1P, LCD panel and Viewfinder indications are displayed properly but the moment I press the shutter button, the low battery warning starts blinking,shutter can not be released and all indications (except low battery) in the lcd panel disappear. 6V lithium battery installed in the camera is new. Any help, please.

Maybe, but only maybe. Pop-up the built-in flash, wait until the capacitor ist loaded and the flash-ready-sign appears, then try to release.

Thanks for your prompt response. When I pop up the built in flash, low battery warning starts flashing on the lcd panel, all other indications disappear and shutter can not be released.

Hmmm, I'd guess there's a battery problem.

I have tried Varta and Sanyo, both new 6v lithium batteries. Both show full 6v on voltage meter.

OK, so it is not very likely that the battery is the root of the issue.
So let's analyze what happens, when you press the shutter button:
* The camera should activate the autfocus
* The camera should activate the meter
Conclusion: Either there is really an issue in the electronics, of something is wrong with the AF-moter or mechanism.

To debug the issue further, I would recommend to try pressing the button either with an old manual lens attached or with no lens at all.

hmm...you can try to clean the contacts into the battery compartment.
sometimes an oxide layer is formed there and causes problems.

Thanks for your response. Looks like electronics problem since when I switch on the camera there is full display on lcd screen but the moment I press shutter button the display goes ( no auto focus/ no metering ) and only battery exhaution symbol blinks on lcd. This happens with/without lens on the camera.

I know that behaviour only when the battery ist low.
Did you take a look into the battery compartment? Any leakage from old batteries or oxidation?

Battery compartment is clean, no leakages or oxidation.
