Whatever version you have you need to use "Online Update" in the menus to update the database etc.

If you type shape in the filter box in PhotoMe it gives the following additional information:

SR Result = stabilized
SR (setup) = On
Shutter release half press time = 4.25 secs
SR Focal length = 404mm

Strangely the SR Focal length varies slightly from the focal length
reported elsewhere.... no idea why?

When using Photome use "Update Now" to make sure that the db is up to date.

Be very careful with Lithium-ion in any equipment.

If you buy cheap batteries also buy the charger to go with it.

The Pentax charger is designed for the Pentax Batteries.
Don't want your K-5 bursting into flames

This shows some of the complex hardware inside a Li-ion battery:

Some good comments on this page:

This page mentions the problems with chargers and how some cheap products have very poor chargers:

Don't some of these type of batteries have a built in computer to protect against overheating and control the current within safe limits? In which case it would be a lot cheaper to make a battery and leave out the computer

Very good that Don, nice cuts and well chosen frames.
