New Firmware V1.03 for K-5!

HermanLee · 03-09-2011, 06:23 PM

I don't know where is better to post about this so I made similar post on K-5 forum. (Mod please delete the one you think not appropriate).

I don't have K-5 yet but I guess this is what everyone has been arguing about.
Link:
Latest K-5 Firmware Update : Software Downloads : PENTAX

It says
Changes to V1.03

* Improved the accuracy of auto focus in low-intensity light condition.
* Improved stability for general performance.

Have fun for those who have been waiting for this.

Adam, did you hear about any plans for a firmware update for the tungsten focusing issues experienced by K-r users?

LOL..Adam, since some people said that your reputation will go down if no new firmware issued, I guess now your rep just go up higher.
You're the man!

No, you don't. Nor should you.

Keep those lines of communication open!

Great! Now I know what will be the first thing that I will do once I get the replacement of my stained K-5. I'm hoping I'll have it this week (it's been many weeks since I returned it, Pentax is struggling here in Belgium to keep up with demand).

Alright! F**K YES I believe is the phrase I am looking for here.

Just waiting for my replacement camera to get back from Belgium, then, and I will have a brand new stainless camera that hopefully focuses right. All is well then, and my plans of throwing all my Pentax stuff out the window and buying a D300 have, themselves, been thrown out the window

Nicely done.
Now I demand FW 1.04 that introduces the neat new features from 645D fw1.02 and also adds automatic image rotation on review.

It already does AFAIK. My K7 does.

But that's the problem. The K-7 does, the K-5 doesn't. No reason for this was ever given.

Oooh I suppose (sorry for the silly question) that you didn't forget to enable the thing in custom menus?
