No bother, I'd wait for the UK site to catch up though, Russia however always seems to be first with Firmware updates...

Good to see more updates appearing, not that I've found anything that needs fixing yet Interesting that they have seen fit to make improvements to AF-C.

I know it's brilliant as it is!

Better, ok I'll take that as well...

I feel inadequate as both you and Fletcher8 have more than one K3, will have to flog more pictures!

Changes in version 1.02
• Added the ability to specify shoot bracketed by setting AA filter
• Improved overall stability and performance of the camera
• Improved stability display the battery meter when working with the battery pack
• Improved performance for continuous shooting with Auto Focus AF.C
* This firmware update includes all the improvements made in previous versions

I think the bracket shooting of the AA filter will prove popular for quite a few people.
