The process was different to all previous firmware updates I've done on *istDS and K-5 where it displayed a progress bar for each of two phases. On the K-3II it just displayed NOW LOADING on the rear LCD until a very quick COMPLETED - and then it turned off, so I manually switched off and on again.
Everything's fine. Now I can use KAF4 (ha ha - if I ever get any) but I haven't seen any difference otherwise.

Anyone have a link for the K3ii firmware update?
Can't seem to find one on the Ricoh website.
Also, what does the latest version improve?
TIA.

It's on the Japanese Ricoh site, just google K-3II firmware update. It says that it makes the K-3II compatible with new KAF4 lenses with electronically controlled apertures, but as I said, I haven't seen anything different (yet) otherwise.

Oddly enough I was looking today to see if there was anything for the K3II
Obviously didn't find anything, however I did find several updates I'd not done on the K5,
I was still on V1.01
PS: now thats what you call a Tune Up

Alan. There is an update to the firmware for the K3ii as that is what I've just done. I believe it's just about the same as the one for the K1. Not that I can see me buying any of the new KAF4 lenses in the near future but apparently it improves some other functions/stabling something??????????????? Its number is 1.10

I did realise there was one elsewhere from this thread Vic, wasn't going to bother as I thought it was just the KAF4 lens tweaks, but if it has a few other bits in there I may take a look. Having said that the K5 doesn't seem any different, my pictures are still crap

It didn't. The screen on my camera just went blank. I left it for a couple of minutes and then thought what the hell and switched off the camera and removed the card. It all worked perfectly. Has anyone else had this happen???????????????
