New firmware K-3/K-S1/K-S2
Vic, I upgraded to 1.20 found the bug and the went back to 1.11. Just copy the 1.11bin file onto a memory card and follow instructions like you are updating, no factory reset is required. It worked OK for me.

New firmware K-3/K-S1/K-S2
Apologies if already posted/read elsewhere but US cousins have posted this... (The Pentax User newsletter telling us about the update has not been re-issued with such a warning. I think this is poor.) Important Note: multiple users have reported a bug that causes the rear LCD backlight to illumin...

New firmware K-3/K-S1/K-S2
I've just updated my K3 and have noticed the rear LCD turns on as soon as I touch the shutter release just to focus. I'm sure this didn't happen before the firmware update and think there could be an issue with the battery draining quicker if the LCD keeps turning itself on. Can someone with the pr...

New firmware K-3/K-S1/K-S2
Can someone please right a note in words of one syllable for us idiots exactly how we revert to 1.11 from1.20. I thought mine was OK but have noticed that my batteries are draining VERY quickly and also when I review a photo and turn the wheel to enlarge it a little at a time it jumps directly to ...

New firmware K-3/K-S1/K-S2
when I review a photo and turn the wheel to enlarge it a little at a time it jumps directly to x8. I roll it back then it performs as normal. lol.. This is something I set deliberately as it equates to 100% - so it's quick to chimp for focus/sharpness.

The zoom in amounts is adjustable under the menus, so you have the ability to change this to something else. As above its set high so you can save yourself lots of wheel spinning to get right into it, to check for focus, but you can set it lower if you prefer less zoomage initially.

Right lets get the rumour mill rollin... K3 II
Damn just bought 2nd k3 On the verge of doing the same myself but I don't think this one will do much to stop me to be honest flippy screen NFC and Wifi/GPS, if added is just stuff I don't, need half of which, if you forget and leave it on, drains the battery, useful to some but only the icing on so...

Right lets get the rumour mill rollin... K3 II
Always bought bodies new when the price fell to the right level and always sold on losing around £100 as I kept my bodies for approx two years then they roughly cost me a pound a week and where always covered by warranty :-) @Cabstar I wish I had gotten that advice a lot earlier as my camera buying ...

Right lets get the rumour mill rollin... K3 II
Finally GPS built in! I've been saying this for years and it will give Astrotracing built into the camera, and restore Pentax to leading the way on what you can do with the sensor shift tech. The add on GPS product is unnecessarily expensive. Full HD video at 60fps (assuming progressive capture...

Right lets get the rumour mill rollin... K3 II
It suggests they are creating a wider dividing line in the range between the mid and 'pro' spec types ... Probably with a view towards the forthcoming FF, also without a pop-up. Historically, with the two largest makers of pro bodies, this follows the convention ... The flagship Canons and Nikons ri...

................and much better focus tracking! You can keep all the flu card, wifi, mobile phone 'apps', GPS etc. just give us decent, quiet AF tracking and low noise at high ISO.

K3II specs leaked online...
This announcement was a bit out of the blue - to me anyway. Seems to have got people on the back foot a bit. It does say improved focus tracking. I see the starting price is a lot lower than the K3 was when laaunched. Dave

K3II specs leaked online...
I'm seeing it as a move into a firmer division of the range at the top, creating a new 'pro spec' division, with the Full Frame to join it there soon ... And that also is mooted to have no pop-up flash. So you end up with a 'pro' FF and APS-C choice. This is based on the fact that top spec models ...

Pentax K-3 II - Pre-order offer!
Having seen the spec I was thinking 'this must be a £1000 camera'.... To see it starting out at well under £800 is really quite extraordinary! The use of the small AF201 FG flash raises a couple of questions ...apologies if this is not the right place to ask, but I guess it is central to actual s...

*istDS premature battery depletion - a possible solution
Having used the thing for a while, a lot of people (me included) have thrown up our hands in dismay when a new set of AAs put into a *ist discharge so quickly you can almost watch it happen. Mine would be flat after leaving the camera overnight, for example, or a few hours steady use, irrespective o...
