Firmware version should be in the customization menu (the wrench icon)... one item should be Firmware Info/Options, and I bet it's at the end of the list.

Shutter count you can't check it in camera AFAIK.
Upload a jpeg (not a processed RAW) here:

or use ExifTool (with optional GUI ExifToolGUI) in order to see the full EXIF data.
It should be under "Maker" metadata, item is "ShutterCount"

To access the current firmware version on your K5, hold down the menu button while powering on. The FW version will appear on the lcd.

Thanks...I see I'm up to 1.15 already from when CRIS did some work last year.

I need access to a computer to start accessing my photos again.

Thanks.
