Q: Which SD (SDHC) Memory Cards are recommended for the K-x?

A: You should be able to use most SD (SDHC) cards in your camera. However, while Pentax does not guarantee compatibility with any particular manufacturer or model, we have seen consistent compatibility with the following SD/SDHC cards:

Panasonic *SD Memory Card – Capacities: 512MB to 2GB *SDHC Memory Card – Capacities: 4GB to 32GB

Toshiba *SD Memory Card – Capacities: 512MB to 2GB *SDHC Memory Card – Capacities: 4GB to 32GB

SanDisk *SD Memory Card – Capacities: 512MB to 2GB *SDHC Memory Card – Capacities: 4GB to 32GB

 Note: When recording a movie, a *Class 6 or faster SD (SDHC) Memory Card is recommended for uninterrupted recording.
Note: ”Recommended” denotes only that the operation of the product has been checked by PENTAX and in no way constitutes a guarantee to customers that the product is suited to their requirements.

There is possibility that a Class 6 SD (SDHC) Memory Card could stop in the middle of recording, depending on the subject or shooting conditions.
