Thats how I would define sequential use ;-)

ISSUU - Pentax K-3 DSLR Camera by CR Kennedy & Co
No I would define sequential use as overflow, 2nd card after the 1st is full.

Well, I can only hope you are wrong (for obvious reasons hahaha...) Nothing personal of course!

The manual defines sequential use as fill one card, overflow to the second.

Pg. 37 details the "memory card settings". You have 3 settings:
Sequential Use: use two SD cards sequentially (fill 1 then use 2)
Save to Both (redundancy)
Separate RAW/JPEG (RAW goes to SD1 and JPEG goes to SD2)

Per the manual About Eye-Fi Cards

An SD Memory Card with a built-in wireless LAN (“Eye-Fi card”)
can be used with this camera.
• Use of an access point and an Internet connection are required for
transferring images via wireless LAN. For details, refer to the Eye-Fi
website. (WiFi SD Cards: Eye-Fi Memory Cards: Wireless Photo and Video Uploads from your Camera to your Computer & the Web | Eye-Fi)
• Use Eye-Fi cards which have been updated to the newest firmware.
• Set [Action Mode] of [Wireless Memory Card] to [OFF], or do not use
an Eye-Fi card in a location where the use of wireless LAN devices
is restricted or prohibited, such as airplanes.
• Eye-Fi cards can be used only in the country in which the card was
purchased.
Please observe all local laws governing Eye-Fi card usage.
• This camera features a function to enable/disable the communication
function of the Eye-Fi card, however, we do not guarantee the operability
of all Eye-Fi card functions.
• Refer to the Eye-Fi card manual for details on how to use the card.
• Please contact the Eye-Fi card manufacturer regarding any
malfunctions or problems concerning Eye-Fi cards

I don't know what that refers to. But it would seem there could be a good reason not to build Wifi into the body?

Radio spectrum licensing rules vary country by country. Maybe that's the issue.

I found it too, indeed just hope that firmware 1.1 will have "striping" as an option since I don't think size is a problem nowadays with SD cards, but speed is... :-)

SD cards are getting faster. But if it's as difficult to extract the card from the No.1 slot as it is on my K-5, I'll be making most use of the No. 2 slot.
