WOW, Yes, you are of course correct. I've turned them on now for both s and m and cont, and now it works exactly as it should. Like most things, simple when you know how. I didn't know that setting existed, and can't think why anyone would want it turned off, nor remember ever doing so. Anyway, thank you so much abmet for helping.

Having completed the 24th May firmware update on both my cameras I was looking forward to using their long-awaited new App which I believed would work much better that the old one with my smartphone. And now I'm very sad and extremely disappointed - I cannot even download it from the Google Play Store. It says my phone isn't compatible with it! It's a fairly recent one, with android v10 and yes - the description for the App does say this version is not supported. I've found I cannot update the phone and I'm not about to spend out on a new one so I'll just carry on as before. But I though others on this forum might find my post useful.

Wow, as you say, easy when you know how. It works a treat so thank you Catsaregods for replying.

I should have explained. If I remember correctly, you enter the new file name you want (I found this fiddly) at the select folder stage. It isn't created till you take the next photo, which will store in it. After that you can select either folder.
 

Rick,
I only just found this thread and can see all your questions have been answered. I too came to the XS10 recently after using Pentax SLRs since 1969, and of course Pentax DSLRs later. Really just welcoming you here. I set my XS10 similar to yourself except I do prefer the lens aperture ring. I still can't get used to having to switch the camera on before focusing and zooming, when with DSLR I very often did that first, before deciding whether the shot would be worth taking. That habit probably came from starting with film SLRs.
I tried both XT4 and XS10 before buying and much preferred the latter's handling, my only concern being its lack of weather sealing, because that was always a Pentax feature I found I could trust.
 
Cheers, Simon
