Problem sorted.
Seems that after all my protestations about all me kit being tikety boo. It was not. I had a intermittently faulty usb port on my monitor. It worked ok when I did a test run but I must have caught it just right for it to seem ok. Obviously it was throwing wobblies in future tests as today it has died and there is not a glimmer of life in it. All other ports work fine and now the sd cards are behaving as they should.
Seems I need to work on my testing methodology. I feel such a fool. Happy but foolish.
Nowt new there then.:lol:
Thanks for the help folks. :cool:

Hi lock is not on.
I too watch the formatting screen.
You are not seeing the DCMI folder because I have opened it and accessed the next folder.
I have tried with 4 different cards etc as I stated in the opening post.
Your reply was helpful as it confirms that,
"I pop my SD card out of my K-30 and into my computer and back again all the time, and it doesn't behave like that."
which is the behaviour you would expect from a sd card. I also read over at the Pentax forums that this is the expected behaviour.
So I am taking it that my camera has a fault and I will be sending it back for a replacement.
Thanks. :cool:

I thought that you should be able to do as you experience. Thanks for the confirmation. It seems that I have a faulty camera.
I was experienceing the problem with Firmware V 1.0 which is why I did the update, I thought it may rectify the problem.
Thanks.:D

Hi patrik9 those images are from when I have,
Formatted the card in the camera and taken pictures
Put the card in the pc and tried to copy/move/view the pictures.
Then put the card back in the camera and taken or tried to take some pictures.
Then put the card back into the pc.
I do not have this problem with my Cannon which uses flash storage cards. I cna put them in the pc and camera multiple times with no need to reformat.
I have no idea what the files and folders are some are 2 or 3 GB in size. I have never ever seen this sort of behaviour with any other sd/flash/ssd/hd/usb storage medium.

Thanks for your reply Canada_Rockies.
I do not have this problem with any of the other sd cards I use. Only have this problem when I use the Pentax Also I do not have this problem with my Cannon camera that uses flash drives. I can pop them in and out of the camera and pc and transfer files multiple times with no problems and no need to format the card every time.
Any one else have any suggestions ?

Hi I just bought a K-30 and it is my first DSLR. I am pretty impressed with the camera.
However I have a problem.
I have four different types of SDHC cards all new Class 10 8/16/4 GB.
I have used Linux and Windows 7.
I have two old card readers both work with SDHC and a new one I just bought.
I have the original Pentax battery, a aftermarket battery, the AA holder with new batteries and some old good quality batteries.
This problem occurred with the Firmware V 1.0 that was on the camera when I got it and after I have upgraded the Firmware to V 1.04.
All the above work perfectly with other SDHC cards I have containing mainly Raspberry Pi images or just files and folders.
My problem is,
I place the sd card in the camera. I have tried formatting on the pc and in the camera (I get the same results).
I take some pictures.
I take the sd card and put it in a reader and view the files on the pc. I have also connected the camera to the pc directly(I get the same results)
I either leave the files on the sd card or copy or move them to the pc (I get the same results)
I take out the sd card from the reader and place it back in the camera.
I take some more pictures.
I put the card in the reader and I get -- see screenshots.
In linux I can not read the card and I get a message telling me that I have the wrong file type.
In Windows 7 I see variations of the above. I can not delete any of the files or folders and I can not read any of the files.
When I put the card back in the camera the camera tells me that the card needs formatting.
Do I have a faulty camera ?
Thanks in anticipation of some replies. :cool:
