Thanks bill.mc. I did do the card format in camera, but your observation of no bin file, then normal startup is very interesting. Certainly when I press the menu button and switch on, the led flashes briefly as if the camera is doing something.
Maybe it's a time to start everything again anew, from the beginning and cross fingers.
Cheers,

Thanks Terry. Yes the camera does recognise that there is a card in slot1 and the file size is 16.444 Mb, but as double check re-downloadedzip file for version 1.12 and extracted the bin file, so that on the newly formatted card are only the zip & bin file.However on pressing menu button and switching on, nothing, display on LCDs is same as normal switch on and menu button definitely bottomed,so fully activated, but still only normal switch-on display.
Any further suggestions gratefully received.

Can anyone help please. Having put the update file [fwdc230b.bin] onto root of formatted sd card and inserted card into slot 1 of camera. Why, whilst holding menu button whilst turning camera on, will the camera firmware not start to update, with the camera just displaying standard menu display.
Many thanks in advance

Thanks Ole. I do have version 4 installed and I did try the version 5 update, but it said there wasn't a valid version to update, and closed, so unfortunately no joy. There must be some way, as I can't believe that Pentax would expect you to buy a new camera in order to get a new version CD.

Many thanks for that info Steve and will certainly have a look at focusing screen.com and see what effect they have on the K-7 metering.
Cheers !

Does any-one know if there is a screen with a more pronounced auto Focus frame on it? I currently have the stndard screen frame which I have focused with the diopter adjustment against a light background, but when I photograph against a dark / variable background, the auto focus frame is very difficult to see !:confused:
Cheers !

Thanks for that Adam, but I thought the DCIM folder was the root folder of the sdhc card?

I have just downloaded the version 1.13 firmware update for the K-7, but when I put the resultantfwdc204b.bin onto my formatted sdhc card and switch on the camera whilst holding down the menu button, I just get the notification of the current version 1.12 and no "loading notification". I would greatly appreciate any observations on the problem, as to what I am doing wrong!
