Hi folks, I am the new kid on the block. I previously used Olympus, but have been convinced enough by the quality reports to change to Ricoh and have purchased an R8. I intend to learn the camera and have studied the postings on this forum with great interest as I wish to depart from "point and shoot" . I love to photograph sunsets, good architecture, flowers and plants. The R8 seemed an economical purchase in relation its build quality and features, when comparing with other cameras.
My question is about Firmware. I am waiting to receive my camera out here (Murcia Spain) next month. I see from this forum that there are some firmware updates. I cannot find them on any Ricoh site apart from one on the Ricoh website on the list under R8. I cannot open this file and have downloaded it to my PC. It just looks like a blank document file called R8. It was dated 15/11/2008 on the Ricoh support site list under digital cameras.
Can someone please walk me through the process of locating, and installing any new firmware.
I do not know which firmware version I will have on the new camera.
Thanking all in advance for reading this and to those whose postings I have enjoyed and benefitted from.
