Raw files are affected. Ricoh introduced white dot removal in the latest firmware, but it is only available for in-camera developed JPGs.

I have some new information from Kameraservice (via another user) about the remedy they apply.

Apparently, there is an extra software calibration that wasn't performed on the early K-1s. Any fix will therefore be a software one as it seems.

Edit: I see I wasn't the first to report this. Sorry about that :)

My unit has the black band at the top, so I am affected.

According to Kameraservice (the authorized Pentax service center here in Sweden), the early copies of the K-1 lacks an adjustment that should have been been done at the factory. They recommend people experiencing this issue to send in their camera to be adjusted.

That's all I know and what sort of adjustment they're performing is unknown to me, but it looks like there is a fix for it.

I got the information from a Swedish fellow Pentax K1 user. It would be nice if Ricoh released some more information on which copies are affected to keep us guessing...

Right, I got an answer from Kameraservice Kungsör here in Sweden. They don't know what i'm talking about, but told me to send it in.

Hej
Det låter konstigt att du hört att vissa fått skicka på service för det, vi har inte fått in en enda K-1 med detta problem till oss från någon av de nordliga länderna.
Du får skicka hit din kamera så får vi kika på den åt dej.
Skicka med en felbeskrivning, returadress, kvitto, e-postadress & gärna ett mobilnr för SMS-avisering vid returen.


and translated into English:

"Hi.
It sounds odd that you've heard that some people has had to send in their camera for this, we haven't received a single K-1 with this problem from any of the Nordic countries.
You'll have to send your camera here so that we can have a look at it for you.
Attach description of the error, return address, receipt, email address and preferrably a mobile telephon number for SMS notification upon return."


Not sure what to make of it, since it seems futile to send in a camera they don't know how to fix...

I have the exact same issue: lots and lots of hot pixels during long exposures. It's a really bad issue, regardless of what some people here claim. My Nikon D600 never had these issues.

I've contacted the Ricoh service center here in Sweden to see if this is something they have heard of and has a fix for.
