K-S2 Wifi Password Reset

chappellm · 05-06-2023, 05:34 AM

Hi. I just moved again and yes found my K-52 again (yeah!!). I charged it up and took some shots of the spring flowers at dawn today with all the usual dew and soft light, etc. But.... I tried to wifi my pics to my Mac. Then ooops, no password for Pentax network. So how do I reset the camera's password or just get connected to upload photos? I get nothing on the Mac when I usb wire connect from the camera?? And no manual found with the camera.
Thanks for any help!
Michael

EDIT: title change now shows KS-2 not K5-2 I withdraw my comments below.

~~There’s no WiFi in the k-5 series. Do you have a wifi sd card that’s compatible that you want to connect to?~~

Do you have the K-S2 rather than a K-5 II?

The default password for the FluCard is "12345678".

See page 14 of the FluCard manual how to reset the password. Provided of this is a K-5ii with FluCard.

If it is a K-S2 see the operator's manual page 89 on how to reset the WiFi settings to default.

Go into the camera menu. Find Wi-Fi under wrench 3 menu. Then you can find communication info including the password.

Ok. Firstly thanks for the posted support. Yes I was not wearing my glasses. The camera is a K-S2 not K-52. Well that makes it way easier to get to the right place in the on line supports already posted!! So yes I was able to find the WiFi in menu with the password number.
So the Mac finds the K-S2 network and the password works but it won't allow any searching (in-port/export) on that network. So I'm working on that. Meantime I just pushed out the micro card and transfer the photos to the computer for editing and storage that way. All's good. I'll work out the remote shooting as I read more.

Best,
Michael.

I don’t recall ac way to connect via laptop or computer to the camera. I think you must use the image sync app.

Youtu.be

Try the iOS emulator on your Mac and the image sync app.
