I tried it.
First I took some shots with my K5 and then transferred the card to my
K10 and took some n more shots.
Each camera created a folder by date and each camera stored the photos
it took in the folder it created.
When I took the card from the K10D and put it in the K5 it still stored
the photos in the k5 folder (both folders had the same date name) but it
used the higher file number from the k10D folder and incremented that.
So it would seem the cameras will create unique file names on the same
card, but store them in folders relating to the camera used.

Hi All,
I am considering what would happen if two Pentax cameras
are using the same SD card (alternating).
Settings both are set to the same storage settings:
folders by date.
I wonder what would happen in the following two cases:
1. The prefix of the file name is set to the same, e.g. ABC_xxxx.DNG
Will the files shot on the same day by the two cameras be stored
in the same folder?
If so, - would the cameras be able to figure which file came from which
camera, or
would the cameras be incrementing their file number when they see
a file stored (by another one) with a higher number?
2. If the prefix of the file name is set to be different, e.g.
ABC_xxxx.DNG and XYZ_xxxx.DNG, would the cameras be saving them to the
same folder?
Would they be incrementing the file number? (I assume, - no)
While I can experiment with this, - I may get my new camera just before
leaving for the weekend where I want to use it. So, I'd rather think of
the file naming schema ahead of time.
Thank you,
Igor
