Can't Get the Firmware Update to Work

This ^^^^

If there is an existing firmware in the location where you extract the new firmware, it is possible that the newly extracted firmware is being automatically renamed rather than over-writing the earlier firmware. The firmware placed on the SD card needs to be named fwdc220b.bin or it won't be recognized.

Also, my experience is that you do not need a blank SD card. Just make sure that the firmware is placed in the root directory (ie outside the DCIM folder). The recommendation for a blank card may be more for protection of images than anything else.

The Australian Pentax distributor, CR Kennedy, bundled a generic Flucard Pro with the K-3. This card is not the proprietary Flucard, which will carry the Pentax branding.

There is some confusion about whether this card is working correctly with the K-3, as the card is not recognized in the wireless settings menu in the K-3. However, the generic Flucard does seem to work correctly, by following the operating instructions provided with the card.

The K-3 does recognize the generic Flucard as an SD card. For this reason, I believe that these cards are working as intended in the K-3, and that the menu options for the Flucard will only be applicable to the Pentax proprietary Flucard.

Lens information missing in EXIF

Kim, I suspect that software is modifying the EXIF data at some point. I checked a jpeg straight out my own K-3 and the EXIF I read using exiftool v. 9.01 is very comprehensive. The EXIF from your jpegs on Zenfolio seem quite stripped down?

PM me if you would like to send me a jpeg straight from your camera using the lens you used previously, and I can read the EXIF and send you back a copy of the EXIF text.
