Thanks, Godfrey (and thanks to Boris, too). In the ever-so-brief time between my initial post and your replies, I've managed to find the appropriate firmware page at the Pentax site. I decided to e-mail the camera's initial owner to see if he downloaded the firmware upgrades, but thanks to you, Godfrey, I've now checked myself, and it says "ver 1.0" which I assume means it's never been upgraded. Thanks! I'll have to wait until I get a computer, but at least now I know what to do and where to go. > Glad to hear you're having fun with the camera.

Where might I find that?
