Pentax Optio i10 Battery change problem

When I change the battery in my Pentax Optio i10 the time, date and file number resets and I have to re-enter time and date.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a cure?

I have read elsewhere that the SD card can cause this behaviour.

With these cameras, when you set the date and time double check that you have scrolled down on the final screen to save changes. If the date and time isn't confirmed it will need constantly re-entering. It's one Pentax menu design element that is actually prone to error.

I had this problem with my Pentax Q. I formatted the SD card in the camera and had no trouble since. I hope this works for you.

I have done that one a few times before, but not this time. But agree it is a menu design flaw.

Thank you, this is what I had read elsewhere, so will give that a go and post back the result.
