Changes to V1.04

So, good luck this time! Any user should rush to the Pentax website to download these to update before it is pulled down so suddenly and quickly again, owing to a bug that is not told only after several weeks! Great! Go, go, go and act fast!! ;-D

Since this blog is about complaining and being frustrated (not photographing), RiceHigh would be happy, if new firmware cause new problems for Pentax users :).
Maybe Rice should take a life in silence and meditation and when come back to be a Zen Rice ...Maybe Pentax awaits his little retreat to release an FF :P

Thanks for the heads-up, I've been putting off my update in-case there's a glitch and will once again.
I can't believe some say it's complaining while complimenting Ricoh/Pentax on everything they do/don't do.
I upgraded my firmware last time and my camera was freezing up all the time. I believe it was 1.02. The stock firmware was fine. With 102 i has to remove the battery to continue. So yes firmware has been questionable.
