Pentax is just protecting you from yourself, you wouldn't want to
accidentally delete all your files, now would you?

"Delete all" is an alternative that doesn't rewrite the card's directory. In
the K10D one could do that by pressing the trash can button twice. On the K7 it's buried
in some menu. Sheesh.

Does anyone know a way to format the memory card in a
K7 with fewer than 16 button pushes?
Does anyone know who the bozo was who made formatting
take 3 times as many button pushes as getting to the custom
focus adjustment?
There are things about the K10 I miss...
