Pentax Updates K-7 Firmware To Version 1.02

Pentax today announced the firmware update of its flagship camera, the K-7, the second time it does so since August.

Pentax says the new firmware:

  • adds [Fine Sharpness 2] which makes image outlines even sharper than [Fine Sharpness] to the Sharpness setting of Custom Image
  • improves total image processing performance at the particular shooting condition or setting such as preview image quality at the “Water Color & Pastel” of Digital Filter mode
  • improves stability for general performance such as with Battery Grip D-BG4, the rear e-dial may rarely become unstable in particular shooting condition.

I’m in no hurry to update the firmware of my K-7 though. I think I need to shoot some test shots first before updating it so that I make a “before and after” firmware update comparison. K-7 users can download the firmware here.

Would there be a Version 1.03 with the word “noise” in it?
