Glitch in display information on the Ricoh GRiiiix camera (2023)

Recently, I was very surprised when my LCD screen was black when switching on my GR iiix camera. Usually it showed a picture of the scene ahead. I pressed the Display button a second time and saw a 4X magnified section of my scene. Another press and the screen went black again, followed by another press, giving me the magnified section again. This behaviour was most unusual. Puzzled, I wondered whether this was a quirky outcome of a recent firmware upgrade.



I did some research and checked with a friend who also owns an identical model. His camera behaved similarly. Because of its importance, I have written an addendum to my article on the camera, which can be found here.
