Pentax K-5 Firmware v1.01 Update Released

Pentax has recently launched the rumored firmware update for the K-5 on their Japanese web site. The download is available to all K-5 users:

This update increases the K-5's continuous shooting buffer for RAW files from 8 to up to 22 frames. It also introduces minor stability fixes.

To install the update, run the appropriate executable above, which will extract the firmware file to your hard drive. Next, copy Fwdc209b.bin to a formatted SD card, insert it into your K-5, and make sure that your camera is fully charged. To start the update, power on your camera while holding the "Menu" button, and follow on-screen prompts.
