Back again with this whole Card & "memory" problem: Got it up and running finally, using a standard 2g card.
NOW: have the firmware update ready on this card, and it's VERY unclear how it updates in the camera.
I copied the update onto the 2g card, and inserted it into the camera. Instructions are unclear as to what to do next, to make the camera TAKE the update.
BUT good news: I've been able to successfully shoot on the camera. JUST NEED to get the firmware updated.
Any ideas, good friends?
THanks in advance!

Thanks, PDL. Sad thing about the manual ; it doesn't state this. So another reason I not only began with Pentax many years ago in the film days, but STAY with our proven brand into my digital stage. Yes, mine is an IST-DS.
Salute to you all.

ALSO thanks to you, Adam. See? Had no info posted about which card(s) needed, and I just MAY have a cupl old 2gb cards lying around the place. Now; just to find 'em!
VERY glad to have found you all, and to be aboard here. Thanks again to ALL!!!

Thanks, Adam; yes it appears I may have purch'd too powerful a card (laughing).
This card is indeed a 64g "SDXC" lexar card. I need to buy a smaller, more generic card, it appears.
ALSO however: when I hold down the "menu" button while turning on ... nothing happens (in order to determine current firmware version)
AND-- I err'd in the specific model camera. It's an IST-DS.

Thanks to all who've responded.
It does indeed say "memory card error"
IST-D, in xclnt condition (purch'd used)
Yes, I know about the safety tab, and yes things we all know about the door being shut, etc.
Was careful to buy high-grade LEXAR prof grade card with the high spec's.
(will keep reading your comments).....

Greetings all, from Columbus.
NEED some TECH advice: Trying to insert and format, use a new SD card. Camera says "Memory Error" and refuses to format a new card in order to commence shooting.
Any ideas on how to correct this problem?
Thanks, all
