Error no 23-01 FHP on detect error Ricoh GR I

Hi there,

Anybody discovered the same issue I have with my Ricoh GR I (1st version)? See error message above.

The lense is somehow stucked and doesn't open. So it's not possible to use the camera anymore.

Any tips, solution's or workarounds? Would be a shame to throw the camera away, still works fine ( under normal circumstances)

Best
Andreas

I did a quick google search and found one possible solution in this discussion: Flickr: Discussing Lens/shutter Closed on Start-up in Ricoh GR / GRII / GRIII APSC

The user there said that "the thing that actually got it to work was depressing the shutter and then turning the camera on."

You could try that.

It seems quite a few people in that discussion said that the cause appears to be moisture ingress.

Can one assume that the camera is in a dry atmosphere when this occurs ? If it has got damp, it may need drying out in some fashion.
