Thanks for the shutter count and camera body shots David.

Have you done any video with it please? If so, what do you think of the results?

Shutter count please? Photos of the body?

Thank you, and welcome.

I have the earlier version. Fun, but occasionally weird!

Maybe check and see if there's any debris trapped between the switch and shutter button?

I use a little gadget called a 'View Catcher'. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Color-Wheel-Artists-Catcher-White/dp/B001DKMZNG (also available elsewhere).

Has a viewing window which is 1x1 in it's 'raw' state, but has pre-set marks for to 8x12, 9x12, 11x14, 12x16 and 8x10. Gives you a chance to try different aspect ratios without lifting a camera to your eye, but clearly aimed more at artists, not togs.

It's also mid-tone grey, although I haven't used it (yet) to set colour balance.

Not correct I'm afraid. They're the same according to the Ricoh site.
Don't be so sure! Why do Ricoh show two different downloads then?

[K-5II]

For Windows : k5_2_107.exe 10,134Kbytes, LHA type, self-extracting files
For Windows/Macintosh : k5_2_107.zip 10,064Kbytes, zip type

[K-5IIs]

For Windows : k5_2s107.exe 10,134Kbytes, LHA type, self-extracting files
For Windows/Macintosh : k5_2s107.zip 10,064Kbytes, zip type

Or maybe I need a new pair specs or someone does?

Perhaps you'd have had the same issue as the OP if you had attempted an update.
By bad.
