Pentax K1 Firmware Updates

English-Photographer · 01-13-2017, 03:52 AM - **1 Like**

I really love the Pentax K1. It's very well designed for photographers. Therefore I wanted to create a list of potentially simple firmware updates that will further improve the camera and add features that I've missed compared with my Nikon.

Firmware Updates

- WiFi in video mode
- Option for no WiFi password
- Turn off focus beep in quick menu
- More options for self timer
- Hide image like the Nikon
- Autofocus improvements
- Quick format
- Turn off highlight warning in quick menu
- RGB individual channel highlight warning
- Delete photos with one button
- Screen off in quick menu and by half press shutter
- Back to beginning of review photos
- Proper flat s.log profile
- Fine tune reds
- User uploadable picture styles
- Choose any shutter speed with the flash
- Rear curtain flash select in camera
- Option to remember last photo viewed & not go back to the start
- Update phone app

Hopefully this is useful to Rich engineers. Feel free to add your own!

FYI, others can't reply to threads in the official product suggestions forum, but this looks like a nice list.

If you'd like, we can move this back to the K-1 section so that others can add their thoughts, and place it in the feedback section later.

I think something was not activated on this forum as replies can be added.

Maybe it's best to leave it that way then
