If there isn't an existing thread for the request you're posting here... PLEASE make one first, so we can all discuss your idea *there*.
And if you're just created a discussion thread for a request you've already added to this list, Thank you! Please edit to add your link to your original post.

Three are a lot of great ideas for fixes and improvements that are posted here. And I'm afraid those who need to see them at Pentax may not have time to read our entire forum.
So I decided to try and create a central list of "
Firmware *only* Fix & Feature Requests for the K20D". Just to make it easier for those at Pentax of course... to make it easier for us all.
So look at the list and feel free to add your own *
firmware possible only* feature requests, with a
short description, and a link to that requests' discussion thread.
My hope is that we can use this thread as 'index' of firmware requests, while keeping discussion of, and debate over the relative benefits and negatives of each request
in that requests' specific discussion thread.
Here goes:
-----------------------
K20D Firmware ONLY, Fix & Feature Requests
1. Option for AF Button to perform AF action (if possible) even if body set to MF
For the AF button to "AF when pressed" if the lens has an AF motor, even if the body is set to MF. Might be an option. Might not.

2. "Button" entry to Live View. Possibly Fn (brings up menu) then "Green"
A multi-key sequence such as "
fn" (to open the function menu) then "
green" to start live view would make live view helpful for those who use optical preview.

3. *option* for Delete + Delete to delete the current image in review.
(But not to change "default" behavior!)

4. Add/Restore "OFF" setting for "Slow Shutter Speed NR" option.
This problem effects response time for exposures over 0.3s and makes fireworks & night photography difficult. This is already available on the K10D & K200, and hopefully was left out / removed by accident. *FIX*

5. Hyperfocal Program Setting and/or Indicator.
Perhaps the AF Button could toggle this?

6. Teleconverter multiplier setting.
Setting for a manual teleconverter multiplier. Should effect EXIF. Might effect SR. Might also be 'reset' upon each lens change. See
