Changing the file type for your Pentax K200D's pictures will increase the buffer's capabilities.
The Pentax K200D is a digital single lens reflex camera. The camera replaces the K100D and features a APS-C-sized CCD (charge coupled device) digital sensor, with a resolution of 10.2 megapixels. Whenever any digital camera takes a picture, the image is stored in a "Buffer" before it is saved to the memory card. Different digital cameras have different sized buffers. As the sensor resolution increases, the buffer also needs to increase to handle the larger file sizes.
Instructions
1. Install a new battery and empty memory card into the Pentax K200D. Rotate the power switch, located just under the shutter release button, to the "On" position.
2. Press the menu button and toggle through the menu selections and select "File type." The buffer on the Pentax K200D will hold up to four RAW images. You can increase the buffer size to an unlimited number of images by changing the type of file.
3. Press the "OK" button, located in the middle of the four directional buttons on the back of the camera, to select the file mode. Press the directional buttons and change the file type from "RAW" to "JPEG," then press the "OK" button to save your selection. Press the menu button again to exit the menu. Your Pentax K200D is now ready to shoot with an expanded buffer.
