Firm ware query

Hi folks
I recently purchased a second hand KX as my old one was cracking around the tri - pod mount. When checking to up date the firm ware it appears as KX 1.03. ( Pentax web site only has version 1.02 firm ware.
Is something not right here please.
Kind regards
Ian

Hi Ian,
Make sure you are searching on the correct camera. KX is a film camera, if you have a digital DSLR then perhaps you have the k-x.

Firm ware

Hi thanks for responding.
Yeah I am referring to the DSLR KX and have reached to firm ware update for this camera. The Update is the same as on my old camera 1.02. But on my new camera it staves version 1.03 which is odd as it does not exist as firmware on the Pentax/Richo sight.
Cheers

In the link jatrax provided, the first thing showing is firmware v.1.03. Scroll down the page, you'll see the "download" option for which ever OS you're using.

And the camera, is not a DSLR KX, it's K-x. There's a dash mark in between the K and x. So, if you search Ricoh for DSLR KX you won't find the correct firmware for the DSLR K-x.

Yep! Just like the label on the front of the camera!

Firmware.

Hi folks
Yeah I am at the correct place with the correct K-x camera I was just typing as quick as. But I have visited every Richo/Pentax site. UK/Europe/world wide etc etc etc, and it still only comes as 1.02 as latest update. Wonder if its a uk thing ?
Oh well many, many thanks for for trying.
Cheers
Ian

Ian - I'm in the UK too. I've just gone to that website link provided by @jatrax and I can see the 1.03 firmware listed... are you sure you've clicked on the link and downloaded the correct firmware?

Sounds like you have the latest firmware, so no further action is needed

Don't worry about Ricoh's regional sites- ricoh-imaging.co.jp is the most reliable source with all the latest updates.
