Well, once again, there is a new "silent" firmware update for the k7...
Previous firmware was v1.02.00.14 (MD5 4d287f4588cae9bbd14df144407e143d)

Now Pentax Japan has a v1.02.00.16 available here

MD5 is 0e397e6c1b444b779e6a2c76396eaa86, even though date and size are the same...

Upgrades unknown...

Pentax have not said what it's for.

Someone on the DPReview forum claims it fixes a Shake Reduction bug. Someone on another forum claims it fixes a graphic in one of the menus.
