Sorry, I don't understand the comment...are you saying that v1.42 firmware is unstable?
If so, can you please provide details?

Cheers,
Terry

Corrected – Unstable performance may rarely occur in firmware version 1.41.

Quote underwhelming if that's all they are adding. Would be cool to see if they are working on some cool feature updates, comparable to mirrorless ones

Thank you for announce. Thank you for telling us what it does...

Underwhelming describes my feeling about this firmware update rather well.

For a "moribund" brand, I am very satisfied about Pentax behaviour.. Thank you Pentax...

Not so bad compared to other brands:
Shadow Improvement of Photographic Dynamic Range versus ISO Setting

Yeah they should have waited fixing this until they had some new features ready

Sooo no "Improved stability for general performance."? Thats a shame

Everyone was waiting for this.

**gaweidert** · 09-14-2017, 04:25 AM

Well, they must have thought it significant enough to release it. At least it shows continued support for the product. Thanks to Ricoh/Pentax.

'd hoped for an instant transformation of your regular K-1 into an all silver topped one

Better : the soooo looong promissed update to take pictures to be plugged within a Theta 360• shot

Wow.

You wouldn't think it was so underwhelming if you were experiencing instabilities using the previous firmware. I'm sure there will be some happy users. (I'm not experiencing any problems, but just saying...)

I wonder how long till someone comments that they have noticed an improvement in their auto focus after the update?

peterh337 · 09-14-2017, 06:48 AM

Is there a list of what has changed/improved?
