Pentax Optio WP Firmware Update - A Cure for the Camera Problems?


Pentax Optio WPi
Several owners of Pentax Optio WP have complained that the camera software is crashing. During my 10 months of paddling and a quite intensive shooting with the Optio WP, the camera crashed (or rather got frozen) three times. Each time it happend when I stored the camera in a neoprene pouch without turning it off. The only way to solve the situation was to disconnect the battery. Concerning that I have shot thousands of pictures it has not happened to me very often and I am, generally, very happy with the camera.

The recent post on paddling.net suggests that updating the camera firmware may solve the problem. It may be worth to try. Currently, the Optio WP firmware update v. 1.01 is available on the Pentax technical support website.

So far, I haven't heard about any problems with the Pentax Optio WPi.
