Make sure you have the latest firmware for your camera and check to make sure it can handle a 64gb card.

haven't looked into that yet but i will be taking the camera to a friend of mine that works at a local ritz camera shop. i am hoping he will be knowlege able enought to figure out which memory card can be used. failing that i would think going to the cameras official website "should" provide the info or maybe a link to cantact them and ask questions. i know pc magazine also has a help section.. they might know

To add to what P.C. Rucker said: I suggest you put the card in a P.C. to see if it is in fact full so you can move the pix off. There might be some pix hiding in a weird folder the scan can't see for some reason. Also in a host P.C. you can erase the card if needed and then the scanner should be able to reformat it.

have had two two 32GB KomputerBay cards that I use very profusely in my 7D and 5D MKIII without error. I have never experienced the error you speak of. I formatted the cards the first time I used them in the 7D. I have at leat 20,000 clicks on each of these cards so far, no glitches.Roy.

No! Twice now I have had it sent back for service (at my expense) and Pentax ignores my emails and voice messages! They have the worst customer service I have ever had the displeasure to experience!!!

I've taken a couple thousand pictures with mine since December 07. I think the problem is the image size/resolution setting. If you take every photo like you might want a huge enlargement from it, the process of recording to the card is what takes a long time. I think it's going to be slow, but I'd play around with smaller resolution etc. to find a bearable compromise.@S.K., yes it seems worst if you're using flash and stale batts.

not sure I understand ? Out of the box new purchase probaly won't have an SD card. Cards have become prolific and cheap, so its never been better for the consumer. An opinion, if I may offer one, is to buy name brand cards and look for the highest rated burst/memory index. My K5 and K5 II work flawlessly with SD 10 rated specs. Depending on your photographic use, a fast card will always be ready to capture a shot. There is nothing worse than discovering a missed opportunity. As for capacity, its a personal choice. I use 16 Gig cards because I have option open to me if a situation presents itself. I can shoot full RAW, or quickly dial down so as not to create huge files which will fill up a hard drive incredibly fast. My brother , recently retired as the President of Pentax, suggest using 8 gig cards, since cards do crash for any number of reasons. Better to have fewer lost images on an 8 than everything lost on a 16. AND speaking of memory, it is highly recommended that you get a 1T ( one terabyte ) portable USB external drive.

I am not sure what that would be, though did you ever format your card? You are supposed to format the SD card before you use it. I would suggest saving whatever pictures you have now, unless you don't care or want to save the pictures - to your computers Hard Drive or a Flash Drive (or external Hard Drive). Then after you have saved the few pictures on your card, format it. Formatting will delete whatever is on your card, though it should fix your problem. If you have already done this and are still experiencing a problem, you may have a bad SD card....rare and I have never heard of a bad one though its very possible. Also, did you ever update the firmware for your camera? That should not have caused the problem, though it may fix it.

I've been using the KomputerBay cards in my 5D Mark iii and I've had no issues shooting weddings and portraiture. I tend to overshoot and thin my pickings, so I average about 1,000-1,200 pictures per wedding and I've not encountered an issue with the three KB cards I have. Can't say that I won't ever have an issue, but thought it was worth commenting.

Did you try doing a format? It could be it can't read your card until you format it for the camera.

I ordered this card twice. Neither card would work properly. I thought it was me but my photographer friends tried and neither cards worked. Sent them back and got my money back. I can't answer that question.

Happened to me once and I return the camera within the 30 day trial period just to be "safe". Spoke to Pentax directly, they advised me to return the camera within the trial period and get a new one. They did offer to try to fix the problem should I decide to keep the camera but that it would take several weeks. The problem with mirror flopping is an ongoing issue with this camera. You can read more about it on Steve Huff's website to get an idea how much of a problem it is. I do agree that it's a fantastic camera in general.

I got that too. I kept trying to insert and reset. Finally it said "formatting" and that was the last she wrote, i.e., the camera froze there. Packed it up and returned it the next day. I bought a (slightly) used Flip on eBay. I know opinions differ, but I had used (and loved) a Flip for years, had broken the lens and was looking to replace with something newer... hence the Kodak, which I found was shabbily made. Now back to another Flip. Even though Cisco dumped them, the Flip videos import as mP4's, and for my purposes, that works great and couldn't be happier with my new (used) Flip. Good luck!

Same issue with my Sony cam. Get the error message but I continue and use it, in spite of the error message. Works OK but is quite irritating. Haven't had the failure yet, hope i don't. Seems Sony has a proprietary card format, and as you probably know they are very proud of their cards. (expensive) I would suggest that you bite the bullet and pay the Sony price to ensure you don't have a camera failure.Good luck with your issue!

I've been using mine for 5 days now, and got about 5.5 hrs till the CARD FULL message popped up recording in 1080p. I'm still learning, instructions are vague at best. I switched over to the 5 min loop. If I read it right, it should now just keep recording over the older footage. So far, it's a really cool cam............

The camera belongs to my mother and she asked me to order her the card because the place she bought it from was out. She just said it didn't work. She has since sent the camera and everything she bought for it to me to see if I could get it to work, but haven't had a chance.
