Preparation of update (from Ricoh website):
- GR III camera body.
- Blank, formatted SD card. (formatted by GR III) (32MB or more)
- Computer with a SD card slot (If the computer does not have a SD card slot, SD card reader / writer is needed.)
- Fully charged battery (DB-110) or AC adapter kit K-AC166J (Be sure to use fully charged battery If the camera turns off during updating due to lack of battery power, the camera will become inoperable. If this happens, a charge will be made for repairs even if within the warranty period.)
Updating Procedure (from Ricoh website):
[1] Provide a formatted SD memory card for the update software.
The download file is self-extracting. The following file is extracted.
fwdc239b.bin: This is the updated firmware. Copy the Firmware file [fwdc239b.bin] to the root directory in the SD card.

[7] When update is completed, “Update completed” will be displayed
[8] Turn OFF the camera and remove the SD card from camera.
*Confirm the version of firmware with above [How to check version].
[Caution]
When updating is finished, the update SD card still contains the Firmware file.
If you want to use this card to take pictures, format the card by the camera to delete firmware file first.
Latest firmware is V1.80 added the following enhanced features:
1. [Customize Setting] --- [Memory] has been added to [Customize Controls].
- For 22 items such as ISO sensitivity setting and exposure compensation, when the power is turned off, you can select "memorize the settings just before power off" or "Reset to Default".
* When it is with a "check" in the check box to the right of the selected item, the next time the power is turned on, it will start up with the settings just before the power was turned off. To start with the default settings the next time when the power is turned on, press [ADJ] and remove the "Check" from the check box.
2. [Customize Setting] --- The number of selectable items in the [Hold Video/Wireless Btn] in the [ Fn button setting] of [Customize Controls] has increased from 2 to 32.

Got there in the end though I too was experiencing the "execute' button screen not coming up when pressing menu and on buttons - What I didn't realise was on a mac you need to take the update out of the folder when copying it onto the SD card - then it worked
👍
Most helpful comment of all times. Thank you! Could not figure out why it would not load!
Thanks for this. 👍🏿👍🏿I was just trying to do this and was having the same issue. Will try again when I get back home. Would be helpful if Ricoh explained this on their website
As a newby,my GR111 is still on version 1.20 firmware.Can I update the firmware directly to Version 1.81 by passing all previous update versions ?Would be grateful for a response.Great videos by the way.Many thanks.
Thanks for your message, unfortunately I’m not sure of the answer, maybe best to contact Ricoh to confirm 🤔
I have firmware version V1.41 on my camera. Do you need to install each Firmware update in the order that they were issued? If I just install V1.81 over V1.41 does it take care of all previous update versions?
I’m not sure but I would assume it does.
can the upload go from 1.4 to 1.8? I followed steps and the camera just turns on at last step no execute option appears
Double check that in my step 5 (in the video) you press and hold the menu button, then briefly press (press and let go) the power button to power on the camera as you normally would (while still holding menu button).
when i hold the menu button and turn the camera on The camera will turn on immediately and will not go up to date at all so its impossibile to execute the new Ve i dont know what to do I tried many times and it doesn't work ?? plz help
Sequence is: press and hold menu button, then briefly press (press and let go) power button to power on the camera as you normally would (while still holding menu button).
@@oddittydotco I did the whole thing again from scratch, this time I was able to do it perfectly thank you
@@FarhadSalami Oh I’m glad to hear that it worked! 😃
DON"T HOLD THE POWER BUTTON DOWN !! Just the Menu button needs to be held down, the power just gets pressed and released !! until the firware screen appears. The directions on the website are misleading. And all the videos make it appear that both need to be pressed till that screen appears. IF you are a Fuji user, U will know why i am extremely annoyed. On Fuji you hold both down till screen appears. I tried doing the firmware update on my griiix around 20 times. Just waiting to brick my camera that has been babied since i bought it do to limited use. I was just waitin for it to be junk. Specify People This video is a little misleading.
Yes it can be a bit confusing, the sequence is: press and hold the menu button, then briefly press (press and let go) the power button to power on the camera as you normally would (while still holding menu button).
@@oddittydotco yeah I had a very hard time doing it I was surprised cuz I've done it a lot on the Fugees and I was really upset when I wrote the comment I really should have waited sorry
No worries, all good 😀
Useless information!
Thanks for your feedback! 🙏
