Doesn't look like it's up on the
US/North America Pentax Imaging site yet. I'll wait until it's there before I download and install.
NOTE: I wrote this 4-26-07 1:08AM Dallas, Texas (Central Daylight) time. At some point, the sentence above will cease to be current. For all I know, the update will be available on the North America site by tomorrow a.m.
Keep in mind that companies very often do not itemize all the fixes in a firmware update. Actually, I'm inclined to replace "very often do not" with "almost never do." There might be twenty little fixes or improvements in the latest firmware update that are simply there without comment. Or not - you just don't know. The criterion for public acknowledgement isn't that many people have complained about something (like, say, VPN). It's whether the company wants to admit that there actually WAS a problem by acknowledging that it's been fixed. Consumers think that companies ought to tell the whole truth. On the other hand, both the lawyers for the company and the marketing execs would prefer that nothing be said unless it's absolutely necessary. If they could get the firmware on to your camera without even telling you about it, trust me, they would.
I have absolutely no reason to believe that there's anything else in this update than fix for shooting tethered. Certainly wouldn't hurt to contact Pentax and ask them. I myself have had very little to complain about, but others here say that they've found Pentax generally pretty responsive to customer feedback.
