I decided to make this post because this driver REALLY makes the difference, and it's hard to think that we can get better results with the CMOS camera.

TIPS ···
- BugFree
- Awesome clear Twilight landscape mode
- Flash photos with freaking smooth noise
- Quick Auto focus

INSTRUCTIONS ···
- Pay attention to special modes explained below

···
There's 3 different FLAVOURS ···
- Standard™ ~~~> No colour gain implemented (stock default)
- VividColour™ ~~> Colour gain to insanity (0b)
- Withan™ ~~~~~> High colours only when flash off (less noise on flash pics)

¡New!
v2.44
- Auto mode + macro setted has xenon ISO 100 (thanks to Raiderski for the idea)
- Portrait has tungsten WB by default like Twilight portrait (but only applied when flash needed, on both). This is to reduce the yellow/red background introduced by long exposure in slow sync pics
Ultimate v2.44
Standard™

Ultimate v2.44
VividColour™

Ultimate v2.44
Withan™
http://www.4shared.com/file/3[....]Withan_for_K790_K800_K810.html
v2.41
- Standard and Withan versions have colour 01 in flash pics to compensate contrast 01 setting (VividColour remains the same)
- In Twilight landscape mode, sharpness is reduced to 02
v2.39
- Fixed indoor special mode (now really 6 fps, before was 5)
- Flash RER not forced
- In all pics with flash contrast is increased 01
- Doc mode has sharpness 08
v2.35
- Added indoor special mode to Portrait scene (6 fps shutter). Now we have a mode for less noisy indoor pics without flash, but with slower AF of course (with the help from Raiderski, thanks)
v2.3 Final
- Fixed compression, it will not crash anymore (I expect...

)
- Auto mode flash pics have 1/80s exposure, so it still can be used for using flash at indoor/daylight to reduce noise. If 1/80 is too dark for you at night just use 1/2s slow sync mode and pic will be ok...
v2.20
- Added full range auto focus (from macro to infinite) to Portrait, Twilight portrait, Sports, and Beach/Snow scenes.
*What does it mean? It's not necessary to be in macro or document mode, simply focus the near object you want and voilà. The same for infinite objects.
v2.18
- Added another slow sync mode. Resume:
1) Twilight portrait scene: Slow sync flash with 1/2s exposure, xenon ISO 250 (this mode reduces noise drastically)
2) Portrait scene: Slow sync flash with 2s exposure, xenon ISO 125
3) Use Auto mode for common flash pics (1/30s)
*Tip: Slow flash sync mode is very useful for:
i) Making beautiful pics in movement using this technique
ii) Amplify a lot the background light on static flash pics
v2.16
- Twilight portrait mode has Slow Flash Sync: 1/2s exposure time and xenon ISO 250
- All other flash pics have 1/30s exposure time and xenon ISO 320
v2.11
- Fixed the "Document mode first pic with bad ISO" bug (forced flash implemented in another way)
- Added another flavour of the Ultimate Driver: Withan™ ("Where is tha' noise?")

. In Withan™ colour is increased only on pics without flash. Also has 00 (Auto) mode in Twilight portrait, instead of 03 (Party).
v2.1
- Redone JPEG compression with better ratios 4all resolutions
- Reduced exposure and contrast in DOC mode for better pics at nearer distance
- Twilight portrait and Twilight landscape have tungsten (incandescent) white balance by default (red filter), but anyway it can be changed through WB menu
- VividColour™ version has really insane colour now (0b)
v2.0
- Unique Super Twilight landscape mode (1 second max exposure, ISO 200)
- Reduced sharpness slightly (06)
- 1/200 Flash shutter speed, 1/30 in Twilight portrait
v1.14
- Better JPEG quality
- Now 1.5 fps shutter in Twilight landscape (more light)
- Revised and fixed code
v1.1
- Flash ISO 320 in Auto mode
- Added AF led in Document mode
- VividColour™ version now with a little more colour (02), but noticeable!
v1.0
- Sharpness to 08 (Max)
- Forced flash in Auto mode (reduces noise in some situations)
- Custom flash settings
- "100%" JPEG compression fix
- 18 fps video recording without bugs (you can use Zoom and BestPic)
