I doubt you're ignorant, just not used to working with the Pentax
DSLR Menu as yet.
Format:
-insert card and close card slot door
-turn camera on
-press Menu button
-press right arrow on 4-way controller twice to get to the "tools" menu
-press bottom arrow once to get to the Format command
*** note the green arrow on the right hand edge of the command
once it is selected ***
-press right arrow to get to the Format's confirm menu
-press top arrow to select Format
-press OK button
If that doesn't work, then something is wrong with the body.
Nearly all Menu commands require pressing one of the four-way
controller arrows and selecting a setting prior to pressing the OK
button.

Try as I might, I cannot get the new SD card to format, set the
initial
settings, delete files, or complete any process that requires
pressing the
OK button. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I read through the
steps in
the manual for making these setting and adjustments, but nothing
"sticks."
I could sure use some help.
OTOH, the camera does take pictures ....
<sigh>
