Pentax replaced that with some kind of long latency rechargeable
storage. I like to believe it's a capacitor, it's the romantic in me.

That could be a thing to check, will pass it on to him.

On my *ist D, there is a circular battery compartment holding a flat quarter
size battery as well as the regular batteries. That is the one I was referring
to. I checked on DP Review and the pictures of the DS and the DL showed no such
battery compartment on them. So I answered my own question. Thanks to you both
for sending your thoughts.
