Ricoh GX100 firmware update - Improved the flash control in a dark place

Ricoh GX100 firmware was updated to version 1.18. This firmware update fixes the following problems:

With the M mode (manual exposure mode) , even if you press the Fn button (to set closer to the appropriate exposure automatically), it will not set closer to the appropriate exposure with the following conditions;

	•	Fn button assignment : AE lock
	•	ISO sensitivity setting : AUTO-HI
	•	Shutter speed to be an appropriate exposure : 1/30 or slower

Improved the flash control in a dark place.
Make a change to a JPEG file that created with a RAW format file to add black borders to the top and bottom of the JPEG image, in case that you set the [RAW/JPEG setting] to [N640] , and the [Pic Quality/Size] setting to [RAW 3:2] at the same time.
