So could someone explain what the talk is about "firmware" updates? Since I
expect to shoot exclusively at the RAW setting, I assume I'll use the Pentax
software to apply a few corrections to the images on my machine. Is there
some update or patch I should download, in addition to the software supplied
with the camera?
FWIW, I use Paint Shop Pro instead of Photoshop, if such a comment is
relevant.
Pentax's software blows goats. At the very least download dcraw
or ufraw for RAW conversions. Or you can buy a commercial RAW converter
if you prefer for winders or macos.
The firmware updates at the moment for the -DS only affects >1GB
SD cards and a slight change on noise reduction IIRC. You won't gain much
by upgrading.
