Well done - always nerve-wracking the first time, especially if you have seen posts where things did not go according to plan !

Hi Guys
I finally managed to do the update, i was trying to do it the Canon way instead of the Pentax way. I held the menu button while switching the power on and the option to update popped up on my screen

. When i downloaded the update from the Ricoh site there was no readme file, just the bin file.

Thanks for the help and advice
Tim

Glad to be of help
