It doesn't. Not even after the pixelmapping function.

Maybe the promised SDXC support?

Where was this promised, actually?

apparently they don't
this works out great for me ... I can continue to tell myself I'll buy the K5 later and for now invest in glass (DFA 100 WR Macro)

Agree... Until it's officially released, installing it now looks like a really good way to fry your warranty.

Firmware update is not available any more. It was not intended for public share I think.

Hi guys

Can anyone please share the file for the "new" firmware for those of us, who would like to try? It's not available anymore on the site

Thank you.

From what i can tell, nothing has changed.. still no manual video control or pixel mapping (I have a stuck pixel in video unless I do the live view trick).
I also did a quick raw burst and goto 19 frames before it stopped.

Im still getting used to my k5 though so something could have changed and I just didn't notice.

k5 1.02 firmware

Well most important would be AF in low light tungsten light. Any change on that?
