Few languages ​​in GR?

[maccaco]

Hi all,
first, they must forgive my bad English. I will try to explain the problem ...

I have two Ricoh GR, the everyday, and other recently purchased for backup. Today I updated the Ricoh backup (to the firmware version 4) but I found a surprise...

The everyday Ricoh has the Spanish language among many, but the Ricoh backup has English-only (and others languages using Non-Latin alphabet).

Do you know how to solve this issue? ...

Thanks for any hint and... Happy New Year!
Best regards.

Was it from a local camera shop? Perhaps they can replace it?
or
Did the backup come from "the internet", so, not from the Spanish or European Ricoh sales stream?

I am aware some camera manufacturers make Japanese localised versions of cameras.
Panasonic have done this where the cameras bought in Japan only has the Japanese language.
I've seen other localised cameras that only have Japanese and English languages, nothing else.

The "full", normal international versions had Japanese but other languages as well.
So there is some kind of Operating system switch to control these options.
Why this they do this I don't really know.

So, its possible you have some localised version of the GR for some specific market.
Another possibility is Ricoh made various language versions of the GR because of limited flash memory space.

Hi, thank you for the response...
The Ricoh GR was purchased via Internet supposedly in a website registered in EU, but the shipment arrived from HK... :?

Finally Ricoh has sent a firmware that corrects the issue of languages.
I am very happy with the care provided... (Thanks Ricoh!)

That is very interesting feedback to know.
Other camera makers would not do this.
+ to Ricoh.
