Rear dial sets ISO 1.1: the depth of field is back in Snap Distance Priority
After Rear dial sets ISO came out, a user wrote in: in Snap Distance Priority the stock rear dial sets the depth of field, and with the feature installed that no longer worked. We had missed that case. We fixed it the same day the feedback arrived and confirmed it on a GR IIIx with 1.70. Thank you for the report.
What changed
- With Snap Distance Priority on, the rear dial sets the depth of field as stock, not ISO.
- With Snap Distance Priority off, and in P, Av, Tv, M and B/T, the rear dial still sets ISO directly, as in 1.0.
- The ISO key, menus, playback and movie mode work as stock.
How to update
- Open the firmware store and tick Rear dial sets ISO (the store now has 1.1).
- Generate a new firmware and install it as before.
Good to know
- If you don’t use Snap Distance Priority, 1.0 and 1.1 work the same, so there is no need to flash again.
- This is not an official Ricoh tool. Installing unofficial firmware carries risk: keep the stock firmware so you can go back.
