Hi, Will my K5 handle micro sd cards with an adapter? I updated to the latest firmware V1.16. There doesn't seem to be any answers in the manual on micro cards. I've been looking at 32gb and 64gb one with fairly fast transfer speeds. Thanks, Jim

Yes, though it's not something I'd recommend because the micro cards are (a) easier to lose (b) easier to break (c) generally more costly in premium flavors.

Here's what I'd recommend:

A similar micro version from Sandisk is about $10 more.

They work, many people do not like them because they require an adapter which is another point of potential failure.
