I've also seen people changing cards whilst the camera is still switched on, swapping them between marques without formatting, changing lenses with the camera on and lots of other things.

It's poor technique at best and can be disastrous at worst. This is not Pentax-specific, but applies to all makes of camera.

The latest article I was unable to view until I upgraded to Plus membership, and I'm just assuming this is the first of many. You can try this out by trying to view it whilst not logged in.

As for the comments regarding membership, if you make a report or PM PentaxDan then you can get a proper reply to your concerns.

Hope that helps!

You can't from the magazine tab.

You need to go to the tab Articles and the first one that's PU Plus specific is the article on the KM, KX and K2. You can't open this without PU Plus membership. I haven't tested them all, but so far as I know at this moment that's the first of the archive articles to be put up for Plus members, with more to follow.

The process completed and after logging out and then logging back in the magazine article is now revealed.

I'll try it and report back if I find a solution, otherwise it's a report to IT.

if shutting it off while it is still writing to the card actually damages it, I'd say it is not fit for the intended usage
To be fair, the instruction manual tells us not to switch off whilst the card is being accessed. This is common sense really, but it's also quite important if we want to be sure that the data on the card is not corrupted.

I've not experienced it yet with two *istDS, two K10D, two K20D and now two very new K-5.

However, others have and it is mentioned in the instruction manual, so it must be a recognised hazard. Just like a PC, a cold boot may be the answer.

Removing and replacing the battery may be all that's needed, in which case no repair will be necessary. If it does prove to be a fault then JP Service Solutions are slow but good.

The olympus E-5 is a good DSLR delivering good results. I wouldn't have given it a top award, but nonetheless it does its job well.
