Originally posted by DaveXT I have an issue with SD card management, this may just be a "feature" of the Camera.
I have set the cards to sequential and find if I pull card 1 to download and then replace it, the camera selects card 2.
This is of course easy to change, but being a new feature to me I forget to check it and
wonder if card 2 fills up will it automatically then select card 2?
This is a quirk with the camera. An easy fix is to power the camera off, remove the card, copy your files, re-insert it, and power it back on. Card 1 will then continue being selected.
However, if you power the camera on without card 1, it will automatically go to card 2 and stay there until it fills up, which is the behavior that you're observing.
The K-3 is missing a "primary sd card slot" option in its menu. Pentax might add this via a firmware update...
