To update or not to update

SashasMom · 07-13-2011, 11:44 AM

So I just got my new K-5 yesterday. Was just wondering if I should update the firmware to the newest version. I am not interested in GPS, and thought I had read something about the new firmware casuing focusing issues.
Also, if there is a new version coming out soon, then would it be better to just wait for that version.

Advice appreciated

Always update. It's quick and easy. Just do it.

Your camera is still within the exchange period I suppose? Update the firmware asap so if anything went wrong, you are covered. Just make sure to fully charge the battery first, and don't use cheap SD.
