August 8, 2009: Ricoh has released a firmware update for its GR Digital II digital camera.
Firmware Version 2.40 adds the following features:
– When you switch from a shooting mode to the playback mode, the camera shows the last picture you played back previously.
– When you playback a still image, you can enlarge the still image with one-push by pressing the ADJ. lever.
– You can set the zoom ratio for the on-push zoom with the ADJ. lever.
– You can switch the functions of the ADJ. lever and the Up-down dial in playback mode.
– You can switch the functions between the ADJ. lever and the Up-down dial in the M mode.
– It also corrects a fault that occurred with long exposures, where the orientation information (horizontal or vertical) of the image may not have been recorded correctly.
A PDF document detailing all the functions that have been added is available from Ricoh. It can be downloaded with the new update from www.ricoh.com/r_dc/download/firmware/grd2/.
