Sorry, I should have been more clear. The image momentarily freezes on playback on the computer via the card reader, then catches up and continues to play... following your post, I played it back on the camera and was relived to see it plays just fine. So it is obviously a communication issue between the card/file type and the laptop (?) I copied the file off the card onto the desktop and played it through Windows Media Player and another video player; same problem! Then I converted the file from .AVI to mp4. and it plays perfectly.
Can't say that I properly understand the issue, but at least I know the way round it and thought I'd share.
Many thnaks

Hi everyone
I recently started using the video on my K5 more regularly and have come across this problem: The video image tends to randomly freeze on the sd card. I thought it might be a speed issue with the card (SanDisk SDHC 8 Gig Rated speed 2) but having purchased and tried to following 2 cards, the problem persists: HamaMicro sdHc 8gig, peed rating 10 and SanDisk Extereme sdhc rating 10 -45 mb/s.
I am puzzled. Can this be a problem with the camera itself? sincerely hope not!
I'll be grateful for your thoughts

Many thanks everyone for your comments. Following Bill's advice, today I took the camera to our local camera shop and a wonderful member of staff updated the firmware there and then. I watched and know that I'll be able to do it myself next time.

Many thanks John for your response.
I'll revisit the Ricoh site and see where I've gone wrong. Will keep you posted.

Hi All
I'm new, please forgive mistakes...
Just tried to update the firmware on my K5, following Richoh instructions, pressed download(windows), then clicked the downloaded exe file... I then get this message from 'Programme Compatibility Assistant': "the programme might not have installed correctly" referring to:" Win SFx32M Self extractor Win 32 Microsoft"
It then gives me these options: "Install Using Compatability settins" or "this progrmme installed correctly"
I've tried all options using two different laptops as well as trying via Google Chrome and Explorer...
Hope this makes sense? Where am I going wrong? Has anyone else had this?
Many thanks
