Beware though that there appears to be two variants of the 1.01 firmware.

The only way to check these appears to be by inspection of the exif data of a shot using a tool like PhotoMe where it can be found under manufacturing notes.

The early variant of V1.01 shows DSP firmware & CPU firmware to be version 1.01.00.05. The later variant shows 1.01.00.09 for both elements.

Rumour has it that the 1.01.00.09 variant fixes the green vertical line at high sensor temperatures problem and possibly some other things that have been causing K-7 returns.
