<p>Friday: It's the day 9-to-5ers look forward to all week long, as they long for another weekend's fun. It's also the day your camera looks forward to, eager in anticipation of updated firmware that makes it better, and sometimes even gives it new features. Well, Friday's here, and so too is our regular Firmware Friday roundup. This week, we have new updates for three mirrorless cameras from Pentax, and news of a firmware delay from Fujifilm.</p><p>We'll start with Pentax, which has updated its tiny little mirrorless cameras, the Pentax Q, Q10, and Q7. All three cameras now support the new Pentax-08 Wide Zoom lens, which was announced a month ago today, and is slated to start shipping some time in the next few weeks. For the Pentax Q and Q10, that's it for the specified changes, although as always Pentax says that its firmware "[improves] stability for general performance".</p><p>For the newest of the trio, the Pentax Q7, though, there are more changes. It's now possible to check the firmware version of an attached lens in the fourth page of the Set-up Menu. Pentax also says that it has improved green button performance in Manual exposure mode. And of course, there's that improved stability claim, as well.</p><p>Pentax Q owners will want to make note of something specific to their model. By updating the firmware, they'll also wipe all settings in the camera, restoring it to default setup. Pentax recommends that if the setup is important to you, you take the time to note down all relevant settings by hand before applying the new firmware.</p><p><a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2013/12/06/firmware-friday-pentax-updates-q-series-fujifilm-delays-x-pro1-update">Keep reading...</a></p>
