Pentax has released a new firmware for its *ist DS digital SLR camera. The update is numbered 1.02 and is available for Windows and Mac OS X† The firmware includes the changes from version 1.01 and now also makes it possible to use SD memory cards of more than 1GB. The full changelog therefore looks like this:

Changes to 1.02

• Correspond to the SD memory card greater than 1GB

Detailed of Version 1.01

• At the long time exposure situation such as astronomical photography, green noise might be generated partially on the image when the noise reduction is turned on.
  This phenomenon only occurs rarely under special shooting condition such as starry sky, and will never occur at the general situation that we are assuming. The version 1.01 will minimize this phenomenon as much as possible for the customer who use *ist DS for this purpose.
