The Ricoh CX1 has received a couple of interesting updates in the past couple of weeks. First was the Firmware 1.16 update that fixed the problem with the M-Cont. Plus, a MP file may be recorded with missing a partial frame(s). It also fixed the problem with the Focus-Bracketing, a which was a feature with known functionality problems.

Now we have Firmware 1.19, which fixes a problem that might be aggravating some of you. When the battery is low, camera may power down without retracting the lens. This of course could lead to some serious problems if not remedied.

Another cool update, not to the camera itself is Ricoh has created an information based CX 1 site. It’s rather extensive, and you can find a slew of information about the camera. For instance, were you aware that the CX 1 only supports a 32 GB memory SD card?
