Hi,
On Wednesday, I am sending my Ricoh GXR body to Ricoh for repairs to the up/down dial wheel. It no longer adjusts the ISO, F-stop, White balance etc. It turns freely, but does not work.
Anyone else experience this problem?
My body is one-month out of warranty! :bang:
Just curious.

Have not encountered this, and I hope I never will. Let us know how you get on with Ricoh's service.

How unfortunate and inconvenient. I absolutely rely on the front wheel/rear toggle in Manual for aperture/speed with the 50 2.5. Missing one assignable function with M mount lenses is less crucial. But no, I have experienced no such glitches. On the other hand, I have 3 bodies for anticipating just this sort of electronic breakdown--2 for the price of one, thanks to the Henry's Ricoh massacre.

I had this problem about a year ago. Had it repaired by CRIScam here in the us for 95 total with shipping. Hasn't happened since. I have had three GXR bodies over the last couple of years.

95$ ugh!
I sent my camera yesterday. I should find out the problem by tomorrow.
I hope to get a detailed explanation from Ricoh Japan on the repair. I will let user know what happened.

Gary,
Yes, a bummer.
To update everyone I was just notified it will set me back 12,000 yen or 110USD to repair. It is same price as buying a used one, so I will get it repaired. As least I get a guarantee on the work. The official problem was build up of dust and moisture, which created a small part to become defective. UGH!

Further update on the up/down dial. I got the camera back. The dial is 10-times better than when I sent it for repairs. I do not remember if it even turned and clicked as well when I first got it as new as it does now.
Now, I have to remember to use it more gently and stored it better, as the technican pointed out to my wife.

Glad they took care of it for you.
Mine's not had any problems, other than the coating on the LCD beginning to peel. I put a protective cover on it, and it just keeps soldiering on. A great little camera.
