Ah, so its a firmware issue then. I've suspected that the firmware wasn't fully finalised ever since Ricoh wouldn't let journalists take test images with the display cameras.

Pleasure. Are you intending to point that out to the author, or do you reckon its the data that's wrong?

Right. Have installed ExifTool and taken a fresh image making sure it has stabilized and can confirm that Exiftook confirms that while shake reduction is active it indicates it isn't stabilized even though it was.

I'll have a look at those, thanks. Seems someone's on the ball!

I've been working with JPEG files and they are by definition already updated for the respective cameras.

Just look at our common starling for example. At first glance they look a drab black with some white spots, but look closely and all myriad of iridescent colours can be noted. Take a patch of black oil leaked in a puddle, look closely and with that too the rainbow colours can be seen in the right light. Nothing at all to do with camera sensors!I'm sure this is right in many cases of bird feathers, but I can't believe that is the explanation for this particular case - this penguin is black, and there's nothing on its head that would produce any 'iridescence'.

That lost me a bit!
I've opened up an image in the new Digital Camera Utility 5 that came on the CD with the K3 and that does have a 'shake reduction' field showing either on of off.

Looking in Photome at a K5 image, the stabilization field shows up in the manufacturers notes section of the data. On the K3, that section doesn't seem to appear at all! Something for Ricoh to sort out.

SRS said they would swap the camera by post tomorrow - what excellent service. I reset the camera and started to package it up ready for return. Thought I'd give it one more go. Pressed the shutter remote - still nothing. Pressed the focus button on the O-RC1 - and the lens whirred into action. Another press of the shutter button on the remote and bingo.
Isn't that always the way?
Another phone call to SRS to put the replacement on hold! Thanks to them anyhow for the excellent service that hopefully isn't now required.

PS Checked again with the cheapie ebay remotes but to no avail with those.
