Re: Pentax Digital Camera Utility update to v 4.35
So I'm replying to my own message. I just installed the update, It seems to render shadows a bit better, though I expect that based on the description updated library for reduction of tone jumping there may be a less posterized look in recovered highlights. System requirements as displayed on the page are bogus for XP and Win2K, both seem to work fine with only 1GB of ram and a single core processer running at 2.0 GHz . I expect that won't be the case with Vista and Win7 but that's mostly because those OS' are such resource hogs. If I find any other caveats I'll report them just in case anyone else cares.

Re: Pentax Digital Camera Utility update to v 4.35
It covers everything except the Q. You need to have an Install CD or PDCU4 installed on your computer already for it to install, which is easy enough to do. If you don't have an earlier version of PDCU4 simply burn a CD with the label S-SW90 with the update file on it, and run the update from there. The camera utility works with all PEF files from every Pentax camera from the *ist-D to the 645D. The only one I don't think it works with is the Q which Pentax supplies with a cut down version of Silkypix. On 5/20/2012 10:01 PM, Jeffery Smith wrote: Which model is it for?
