Pentax M90 Decorative Frames

Hello Everyone,

I used to own an M20. I installed 90 other decorative frames that can be downloaded from the Pentax website on the M20. I've just bought an M90. The main reason I bought the M90 is because it too has decorative frames. There are only 9 frames that come preinstalled. I'd like to install the other 90 frames in it. I've tried everything I think possible but the camera just won't recognize them as on the M20. The M20 had a file called "FRAME". The M90 doesn't. I tried creating a Frame folder both in the camera memory and the SD card and loaded the frames in both memories at different times but the camera still didn't recognize the frames.

Can anyone please tell me how to install the decorative frames on the M90? Perhaps it isn't possilbe. If it is, I would appreciate knowing how you did it. Thanks. Angelo

Hi Everyone,

I managed to contact Ricoh technical assistance regarding this issue. Here's what they said.

"Dear Mr. Pepe,
Thank you for contacting Ricoh Imaging

The M90 only has 9 usable frames. It is not possible to add more frames to this model like in the M20."

I wrote back and asked if they would consider a firmware update to make it possible to add other frames. I've received no response.

So, I guess that's it. You can't add other decorative frames to the M90 as you can on other M series cameras.

If they ever do somehow make this possible and you get to know about it, please post the solution. Thanks!!
