If I remember well, there's a menu option for using the camera without card
in it. If Shel's camera is set that way, it probably won't read "no card in
camera".

Hmm. I took my card out, turned on the camera. It says "no card in
camera" on the LCD. I went to the format command in the Menu system,
selected "format", and it bounced right back to the "no card in camera"
screen display. Is that not what yours does?
If it isn't, something is awry.

OK, here's something. I removed the card, turned the camera on, got to

have thought that the camera would say something if one attempted to
format
a card when there was no card in the camera.

I should mention that I can't delete images either.

I doubt you're ignorant, just not used to working with the Pentax
DSLR Menu as yet.
Format:
-insert card and close card slot door
-turn camera on
-press Menu button
-press right arrow on 4-way controller twice to get to the "tools"
menu
-press bottom arrow once to get to the Format command
*** note the green arrow on the right hand edge of the command
once it is selected ***
-press right arrow to get to the Format's confirm menu
-press top arrow to select Format
-press OK button
If that doesn't work, then something is wrong with the body.
Nearly all Menu commands require pressing one of the four-way
controller arrows and selecting a setting prior to pressing the OK
button.

Try as I might, I cannot get the new SD card to format, set the
initial
settings, delete files, or complete any process that requires
pressing the
OK button. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I read through the
steps in
the manual for making these setting and adjustments, but nothing
"sticks."
I could sure use some help.
OTOH, the camera does take pictures ....
<sigh>
