New Q Firmwares for Body and Lenses (V1.01)

For the Q Body: http://www.pentax.jp/english/support/digital/q_s.html

For the "01" Prime and "02" Standard Zoom: http://www.pentax.jp/english/support/digital/q_lens_s.html

Btw, "Improved stability for general performance" = Debug(ged) in One Word!

And, it is for the first time the firmware of a Pentax lens can be upgraded by the user oneself, just like that what can be done for the lenses of all other ILDC systems.

Update (11-3): New SilkyPix Software is also available for the Pentax Q, version 3.0.0.3:-

Hello, Mr.RiceHigh. I appriciate your referring my site.

At First, I thought new firmware is only bug fix, just like you.
However, after I updated my Q to new Firmware,
I think new firmware really "improved stability for general performance".

After updating my Q, I noticed AF speed becomes much faster,
and AF accuracy in close-range becomes higher than original Firmware(v1.0.0).
Someone said AF speed of new Q is faster than E-P3! (I think it is maybe hyperbole :-)

so, I think new Firmwares is very great work despite the version number !
or maybe original Firmware may have been buggy... :-P
