K-r Mirror Jumping / Disorder

Winter has once come and my K-x yet once again shows its double shutter actuation symptom in *singe*-frame advance mode at outdoor under a bit colder temperature (10+ deg. C)! :-(( In summer, that thing has never happened before!

So, I tried to do some web search to see if there is any solution but of course, my effort has been in vain! But during the course, I discovered this old video, about the K-r:-

Too bad and terrible! The video speaks itself, I really have no more to say! >:-(

I have encountered the problem of mirror jumping a couple of times now, but everytime under the same conditions: outdoor, cold conditions (< 10 deg C) and in in manual mode attached to a telescope (via adapter). It is extremely annoying and it renders the camera useless in this mode, which I do need for astrophotography. Once the standard kit lens (18-55mm) is being attached, the problems disappear. I have contacted the shop and I will return the camera soon.
