K5 glitches

Can't say I've noticed any issues yet but
1. It's a tight fit and if you don't push on it at the right angle, can stay put - same on K7
2. Camera uses an notional frame size to calc no of frames left on the card. As soon as you start to use it, actual frames sizes vary and are often smaller than the notional size used, so effective capacity increases. Same can be seen with any digi camera.
3. Can't say I've ever timed this. But logic suggests the bigger file size of the K5 will take a bit longer than that say of the K7.

The problem I have with SD card removal, is that I cannot get my large fingers into the space between the card and the door. I am going to have to resort to carrying tweezers for card changes. No doubt having a larger capacity card will reduce the number of changes.

The space between the card and the door is quite tight, so it is tricky.
Best regards, John

Someone on this forum (possibly Mannesty?) posted a good suggestion about that a while ago which involved using a small tab of electrical tape stuck to each card to create a little pull-out handle.

Thanks Tim, I have just tried the tape extension. Despite me being sceptical, it does sort of work. It's a pity the designers didn't consider large finger sizes.

Happened with my original K-5. Happens with my current K-5s.

Happened with my K7 and my K5. If it doesn't pop out far enough push it back in and give it a quick 'flick' to get it to popout further.
As I said, it's ALL in the action try again Smeg

1. What I have noticed is that the SD card sticks when you try to remove it.
2. An 8 gig SD card reads 230 frames on the camera, but when down loaded has 270 to 285 frames.
3. When switching from a horizontal to vertical mode, it takes the camera a few seconds to rotate the picture.
Just looking for some answers.
