(Ricoh GRD4)
Yahoo! I found the invoice for the GRD4 and sent it to the dealer for repairing the malfunctioning manual focus, which rendered the snap mode totally useless. I hope it will be soon for the GRD4 to be up and about.
(Ricoh GR) In their own unique style, the squatting Mainland Chinese tourists have become an eyesore a common sight in the usually narrow walkways around the more busy areas in Hong Kong since the r eturn of Hong Kong's sovereignty to China (Editor-in-chief's note: Officially banned phrase for political incorrectness) Chinese Communist Party resumed sovereignty over the city. Hordes of the likes are too generous in their estimation of either the width of the sidewalks or the number of people passing by them, so stretching out an array of luggage cases in a disarray fashion for making rearrangement or taking a recess never seems to be too unedifying a bother to them. No location can dampen their determination in doing so, not even if it is right at a shop front, which is a somehow laudable national quality potentially in a positive way.

Can you tell me Ricoh said that this problem?
My GRD just expired warranty!
so poor.
However, I really want to repair it.
I actually got the camera back without them fixing it coz they said it functions well. I tried to explain the it to them. The problem still persists. If you search the web, particularly dpreview forum, you will notice users complaining the issue.
Mine is no longer under warranty. I may no longer buy Ricoh cameras as long as the present dealer holds the dealership.
The technical guy suggest me to do a alignment. If success, it cost me HK$500. Otherwise, they need to replace the whole lens for HK$1600.
Same as you, I take back the white GRD4 since it still ok at AF.
Then I bought a black 2nd hand full function GRD4 from market at HK$2200.
I still keep the white GRD4 at this moment.
I sold my white GRD4 to a guy.
He send it to CS. Ricoh CS do an factory reset for him.
The camera back to normal!

Tun off the camera
Set the dial to "scene mode"
Press Fn2 and Play buttons simultaneously.
A screen with firmware version and other info will show up. If you wait for about 15 seconds a new screen will appear asking you if you want to initialize settings.
If you say OK, you go all the way back. You start by setting date, language etc...
