I had the same problem with the exact same camera (Pentax Optio S5Z) that happened the same way. I searched everywhere on the web and finally found this post that didn't have a solid solution. So I started experimenting with different button combinations and finally figured it out.

Hold the OK button while turning on the camera. The screen should indicate that it is in audio record mode. Now press the Menu button and use the navigation keys to find and execute the system reset option.

After turning it off and back on it should function normally.

Hi there.

Face the card towards you, look for a small white tab on the left hand side of the card, to unlock it push the tab down, it will be at the side of the card like this .

Please post back if you need any additional advice.

your menu's locked (yellow icon) if it's in green mode. exit the green mode, and you'd get your menu back.

just fyi, since i helped my dad troubleshoot his cam (same model as yours) a while back.
