Support for Pentax K-3 RAW and DNG files

Hello
Everytime I buy a new Pentax (happens frequently) I can't develop my PEF RAW files, since updates come quite late.
So, I want to shoot DNG in stead for Pentax RAW (PEF) files until an proper updae is available. But when doing so, the DNG files turn out VERY GREEN. Why is that? What am I doing wrong? If I use Lightroom og Silkypix, there's nothing wrong. Except I like Capure One 7 pro very much and wish to continue using it. It's very nice software, not too complicated and it provides an excellent "over-view" or "comprehensiveness" (no English word covers this well).

Pleas look:

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank

  Hello Jens,
  Pentax DNG's are not useable in any converter that has not implemented support for the specific Pentax camera. The file type may be a "universal" one, but any camera needs to be supported to be able to develop its raw files, no matter what file type these raw files are written in. Support is not about file type, but about sensor characteristics.
  Phase One has promised support for the Pentax K3 in their next update, which should be around the corner..
