If you put a card formatted in the K-7 into a K-5, it is renamed "K-5" if you use it at all. The K-7 doesn't have the ability to maintain the SD Card name. It looks like you can, but once you pop it in the K-7 and use it, it's back to "SD Card".
Might be a workaround for that, but I'm not aware of one.
