Selecting folders.

Hidrieus · 10-06-2016, 02:32 AM

Hello,

I am learning my new to me K-5. Is it possible to return to a previous made folder to record images in it? When I used to go for photographic excursions using an other camera I frequently used to share it with a friend. Before giving it to her I changed the recording folder to one dedicated to her shooting. When she gave it back I returned to my previous personal folder. I can not find how I can do the same with the K-5.

I don't think you can go back. But you can have the camera save in a single folder instead of saving by date, and then create a new folder every time you switch photographers. See page 300 of the manual
