First a WARNING to all potential firmware upgrades -
Only do the upgrade of firmware if the battery indicator shows
Full Green, or if using the AC adaptor.
Do
NOT under any circumstances try the upgrade if the battery indicator shows anything else - one is very likely to "
Brick" the camera.
The suggestion of using the supplied Lithium AA batteries (fresh) is a good one - make sure the battery indicator is showing
Full Green before proceeding.
Originally posted by BBear I do have the firmware which fixes the battery, but at some point, there were threads about a even newer japanse version wicch works on the SR.
Is that true? Where's the thread and link? I can't seem to find it, and serching for KX is not an option.
ah... I had the same problem in searching -
the problem is that
K-x is sometimes used interchangeably as
Kx.
so try searching on "K-x" too.
But anyway to be helpful here are the relevant K-x firmware threads:
Can't find K-x Firmware 1.01.07 Kx 1.01 firmware checksums are different K-x 1.01 firmware now available
the first gives the links.
Then there is:
New "silent" K-x firmware fixes SR blur problem
note: the last thread is in
Pentax News and Rumors section
- so strictly it is a mere rumor/speculation -
but read the thread and decide.
