Pentax Japan has just released the new firmware for the K-5 that we announced last week here on the homepage. As expected, it fixes the known bug in the K-5's AF system and introduces other stability improvements.
Download the official firmware from Pentax
Once you have the firmware downloaded, follow these steps to install it:
- Unzip the file
