Ricoh updates their Ricoh GR Digital II professional digital compact camera. Version 2.30 gives it several significant functional enhancements, including the following:

• It is now possible to manually set the flash amount - you can select from 12 levels ranging from full flash to 1/45. This results in a relatively short time lag since there is no need to do a pre-flash to get exposure information.
• It is now possible to set the flash timing. It can be selected from the choices “1st Curtain” (immediately after exposure begins) and “2nd Curtain” (immediately before exposure ends).
• It is now possible to register white balance compensation in My Settings. You can select whether to save in My Settings the value set for white balance compensation.
• The TODAY’S SHOTS display function has been added. The number of images recorded during the current day can be displayed on the LCD monitor when the power is turned off.

And I remind you - be careful when updating your camera yourself. Make sure the battery is full, and don’t switch off your camera till the end of the operation.
