Icon Problem in my K5

I have only been in digital photography for a short while, but I am really impressed with the picture quality of the Pentax K5
I only use JPEGS in AV mode and I like to use the exposure compensation for different visual effects, but sometimes an icon appears with AEL RAW in the top right hand corner,but its still shooting JPEG OK.
Does anybody know how to eradicate this icon? Having read the K5 manual must be touching the AEL button by mistake as its close to the rear dial and bracketing button.

It is indicating that when you view the JPEG file you have an option to save the RAW file in the buffer if you wish to. This only happens when you have just taken a shot and you view the image straight away.

It's a feature that can be useful, it's quite normal and won't cause any problems.
Best regards, John
