Hi Stevebrot
I never said Out-of-warranty repairs are
PAID by Ricoh ( PLEASE DON.T MISS QUOTO ME )
( what I said
(even if your camera is out of guarantee they should still fix it as it is a manufacturing fault, and as far as I'm
concerned they should have called all the batch of cameras with the fault back to be sorted.) The incident is not relatively low
RICOH HAS A RESPONSIABLITY THIS IS A MANUFATURING FAULT, AND HERE IN THE U.K. THE GOODS ARE NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE NO WONDER I GET FRUSTRATED WITH STUPID COMMENTS LIKE THIS
.Sorry for raving but you should really get your facts right,
but your comments are made without looking in to the matter.
Ricoh should have called the whole batch in.
SO your saying if a car manufacture sells a new car with a defect at the manufacturing state they are not responsible I don't think sooooooooo

Hi Stevbrot Please don't miss quote me and twist what I said I NEVER SAID ( Out-of-warranty repairs are BEING being paid by Ricoh ) YOU SERIOUSLEY MISS QUOTE ME
IT IS A MANUFACTURES FAULT AND PENTAX NEW ABOUT IT AND THEY ARE RESPONSIABLE FOR IT
GOODS ARE NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE HERE IN THE UK
if A MANUFACTURE SELLS YOU A CAR WITH A DEFECT THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT YOU WONT BOTHER THEN i don't think so they have a moral duty to call the defective cars back and fix them

Originally posted by tennjed I just purchased a new K3. Serial is 6098206. Camera came with firmware version 1.11.
My local camera store, while employing a great bunch of folks, is not the kind of store where you would expect they would go into stock and update camera firmware before selling. IOW, the only likely scenario is that the store received the camera from Pentax distributor with current firmware already installed.
Is it likely that the "reflash" of the shutter software has already been performed on this camera? Is there any way to tell, other than crossing my fingers and waiting to see if it acts up?
I guess another scenario is that this is a return, and previous purchaser did the update.

Don't worry about it as far as I know Pentax got on top of the matter once they started to admit the fault was there
and it was altered at production stage
