Just wondering what will happen if you use the same card and don't format it before using it.

Thanks for the quick overview.

Quick question, though. On the website firmware updates are available for the K-1 II, and no longer for the K-1 (mark I). At first, I didn't think that would make a difference and that I could/should update with the latest K-1 II firmware update. However, the version numbering is different: my K-1 I is on 1.51, and the latest K-1 II firmware appears to be a version 1.30. Would you (or anyone) have any idea whether I can/should use the K-1 II firmware?
