Official Release Notes - K-1 Firmware v1.52

Optimized performance when attaching new lens HD PENTAX-DFA70-210mmF4ED SDM WR.
Improved stability for general performance

Does someone know about the "Improved stability for general performance?

I have still issues with the Metz flashes. I will give the new Firmware this weekend a chance!

No one knows. In my opinion these are always generic placebo sentences.

just installed the new FW, i tested with DA 55 F1.4, seems the AF is faster and less hunting. For DFA 50 F1.4, AF speed seems the same but require to reset the AF adjustment in order to focus accurate, so far so good

What issues do you have with your flashes? What models do you have?

If you have a problem with flash assist red beam not working, it will not work. Cameras released after K-3 are not compatible with red light assist of older flashguns. This is somehow only ommited by newer godox units that do work with red beam and my k-1ii.

I noticed the same with my K1-II, DA 150-450mm and the new FW V1.4. Much better and faster AF.
