I think I have the most recent firmware installed in my K-5II (i.e., ver 1.03). During my Caribbean trip, I had 2-3 occasions when the camera froze while On (in normal photo mode, not video). Would not turn off. Took out battery, waited 5-10 seconds, re-installed battery and just continued on where I left off. IIRC, it was always with my 35/2.8 macro lens, but since I used that lens for a high proportion of my shots, I can't be sure whether the fault was in the body or in the body-lens pairing.
