October 8, 2010: Ricoh has released a further, function-enhancing firmware update for its popular GR Digital III camera.
The latest update includes new shooting modes to increase the creative functions of the camera as well as a number of new settings designed to enhance useability. New additions include High Contrast Black and White and Cross Process shooting modes for adding in-camera effects to images. Heavy colour shifts are possible in the Cross Process mode by choosing a colour scheme (basic, magenta, or yellow) and adjusting the vignetting and contrast.
Enhancements made to existing functions include a new ø¢â‚¬ËœMy Setting’ delete function that allows users to delete their personalised settings registered for the mode dial and My Setting Box. A new key custom setting initialisation function allows customised camera settings such as those allocated to the Fn button and ADJ. lever to be restored to factory default setting. Finally, Ricoh has made improvements to the GR Digital III’s screen magnification ratio (MF) function. Photographers can now change the screen display to magnification ratio of 4:1 (currently 2:1) when using manual focus.
The new firmware can be downloaded free of charge from the Ricoh website. For more information, phone Ricoh’s Australian distributor, Tasco, on (02) 9938 3244 or visit www.ricohcameras.com.au.
