Re: K3 II image count on SD Cards
No issue at all. If you remove the card or anything it will default to the next card. Whatever card was inserted in first is the default. The indicator on the top plate LCD just shows the remaining shots on the card you are currently using. In the info screen on the back it highlights where it is saving images. Yeah if you are using spillover its always a good idea to make sure both cards are clear before your format in case this sort of thing happens.

Re: K3 II image count on SD Cards
I have it set to save only DNG files and have it set for SD 1 and when full it is to start recording to SD 2. What my confusion is with the total it shows on the back of the camera. Example: On back of camera it shows card holds 250 images in SD1 and when I fill the card up and it does as it should and records to the next card. Shouldn't the number that remains on the menu for SD1 be 0 available? It shows a high number that is still available. I hope that makes some sense. I have had a really really bad day at my day job and my brain is not fully functioning at the moment. Trying my best not to worry or be overly stressed but keeps getting harder and harder to be optimistic and to make any sort of future plans. Sorry don't mean to vent.

K3 II image count on SD Cards
I ended up saving up and got the K3II. I have come across what may or may not be an issue. I posted this to the Pentax Forum but I haven't heard from anyone yet so thought I would see if anyone here might have an answer. I was downloading images to my computer from this weekends outings. I had thought all images recorded to one SD Card but as I was going through the images I realized not all of them were on the card. I checked the other card that I partially used on Sunday and sure enough 31 of the images from Saturday were on that card. Everything recorded correctly so that isn't an issue but I am confused by what the camera states as far as what is left on the card. See link to image and you will notice that I ended up switching the cards when I put them back into the camera. https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/attachments/58-troubleshooting-beginner-help/363948d1501108341-k3-ii-image-count-sd-cards-0726171705.jpg Saturday SD1 = 168 + 31 that was added to SD2 Sunday SD2 an additional 7 (too hot to do much more than that) What is the issue if there is one?
