I lost my cable and can’t find it and need to get a new one.

What do I need please?

Thanks.

A USB2 cable is what you need. (The camera has a micro B port). Searching for Pentax K-S1 USB cable will find a compatible cable.

One of these:

1M USB Data Camera Data Cable Lead for Nikon Olympus Pentax Sony Panasonic Sanyo
ebay item: 372082383503

The information is on p. 66 of the K-S1 Operating Manual.

If it uses a micro usb port you can just use the cable that came with your phone unless it is an iPhone. That's how I connect my K-1

Thanks for your help, cable is ordered.
