Hi again has anyone checked out this new Firmware,
I know it improves jpegs but will it improve AF or what is the advantage I don't do jpegs only raw.
I have installed the update now 1.10

just what will it do for my K3 if anything is this just for jpeg users?? was it pointless if I you use raw files

Haven't spent much time with my K-3 since the upgrade. However, my basic view (on any of these upgrades) is that if Pentax wants me to upgrade, I do it. Remember, there are other fixes in the upgrade than the diffraction feature. So...upgrades are never pointless IMHO.

Agreed.

Note this:

Changes to V1.10

Added Diffraction Correction on Lens Correction.*How to operate Diffraction Correction click here.
Shortened processing time for Digital Filter　and Color Fringe Correction.
Improved stability for AWB (Auto white balance) performance.
Changed to ISO Bracketing when using Exposure Bracketing on TAv mode
Improved stability for general performance.

*Contents of [Version 1.03] and earlier version will be also updated.

That is another way of saying: "We found some bugs / rooms for improvement and fixed them while we were at it."

I wonder if you have to install the patches in sequence, or just jump into the latest patch?
I have a K3 with no firmware upgrades, and now 1.10 is out there.
Any thoughts ?
Thanks

Just jump into the latest patch. All previous versions can be updated directly.

Cheers.

Thanks!
I come from a background of older computer tech, patching Novell networks in the 80's and early 90's, and sometimes you had to patch in order.

Have a great day, will patch away!
