This is the "eye" through which you will want to see the world.

Interchangeable unit camera system

For your next camera, accept no creative limitations.

A camera system shakes up the world of candid photography: GXR

In your everyday world, frankly capture the scenes that unexpectedly sync with your sensibility.

The sweetest expression may be the casual one noticed only by you.

Preserving in an honest image the things you see and the things that touch your heart, the candid photo becomes a kind of personal documentary, a landscape of your mind sketched out in images.

For this a compact camera is best, one that can always be with you, always ready for a casual shot.

And if you could also change the lens in the same way that your perspective changes to match the scene and mood of the moment, it would bring even greater possibilities and enjoyment to photo expression.

In search of this ideal, an unprecedented new camera system was born.

The interchangeable unit camera system: GXR.

For a subtlety of sensibility that cannot be touched by an SLR camera.

For a diverse expressiveness out of reach of a compact camera.

Today the candid photo is transcending old boundaries of shooting range.

An original system expanding range of expression with interchangeable units

GXR is a unique camera system that consists of a body and camera units.

Each camera unit contains a lens (focal lengths differ between units), an image sensor of optimum type and size for the unit, and an image processing engine. By changing units, the photographer can handle a diverse shooting range in a way that satisfies sophisticated requirements for photo expression. The slide mechanism for attachment/ removal enables smooth camera units changes.

Compact, high-performance lens design at a level only possible with the interchangeable unit system

It is the lens that gives life to the photograph. In interchangeable lens camera systems up to now, the distance from the mount and the back of the lens to the sensor image plane was subject to requirements for flange back distance and back focal length. This made it difficult to achieve both compactness and high optical performance.

Eliminating the lens mount, however, means that the back focal length can be freely defined for the GXR, enabling it to use the most optically efficient lens designs with the minimum size. In addition, combining the lens and image sensor increases design flexibility so camera units can be developed based on a variety of concepts. The totally new camera system birthed by this practical inspiration features portability and high image quality along with superb expandability and growth potential as a system.

Compact size, high image quality, and unlimited f

A highly airtight system so no worrying about dust when changing lenses

The ease with which dust can adhere to image sensors has been a system problem for interchangeable lens digital cameras up to now. In the case of

GXR camera units, however, the lens and the image sensor are integrated into a single unit. This structure makes it difficult for dust to get in since it is n o t n ecessa r y t o e x pose t h e inside of the camera when changing lenses. In addition, the inside of the units are highly airtight with lights h ield ed w a l ls. E ve n i n h ig h l y d u s t y s h o o t i n g e n v i r o n m e n t s, camera units can be changed without hesitation.

Designs optimized to make the most of lens and image sensor capabilities

In order to make the best use of the inherent power of the lens and the image sensor, the ideal solution is to combine both in a single unit. Consider, for example, the low-pass filter covering the surface of the image sensor.

The dilemma faced is that while the filter helps prevent color noise and color moiré, increasing this benefit results in an ever greater sacrifice in lens resolution. Traditional interchangeable lens systems must use a single low-pass filter for all lenses so they are unable to avoid situations where the filter effect is excessive or inadequate. With the GXR, on the other hand, we can design a low-pass filter optimized for the resolution of the specific lens. In this way, Ricoh has succeeded in effectively preventing color noise while minimizing filter influence on lens resolution.

future potential. When compromise is not an option, this is the camera system you get.

Slide mechanism for high precision and reliability

In a relationship similar to that of an SLR and its lens mount, the guide rail is a defining characteristic of the GXR system. To create a highly reliable slide mechanism, stainless steel with superior strength and corrosion resistance was adopted for the rails. Surface hardness and wear resistance were further enhanced with a soft-nitriding process, the end result being a high-precision slide for attachment and removal. The combination of the slide, the resin components, and the pressure-welded springs give an appropriate sliding feel and quietness. The reliability of both the mechanical and electrical connections has been verified in high-stress attachment/removal testing of the slide mechanism.

The exterior itself is a functional aspect of the camera.

Magnesium alloy cover

For their exterior covers, both the body and the camera units utilize a light and strong magnesium alloy with superior p r ecisio n - m old i n g, h ea t dissipation, and magneticshielding characteristics. Durability and high-class impression are further enhanced by a high-class, non-slip "pear-skin" baked finish with strong corrosion and wear resistance.

Paired with a 23.6 mm×15.7 mm image sensor, this GR LENS is a standard macro boasting superb definition and refined bokeh.

New system enables higher dimension of optical performance

The lens configuration has 8 groups and 9 elements. Making good use of the new system's advantage of not having to accommodate back focal length, we were able to design the refractive capabilities of each element in a more efficient and practical manner than is possible for SLR interchangeable lenses. Partly thanks to the use of a large-diameter aspherical element, this lens achieves a superior level of edge-to-edge resolution and image quality unimaginable for its small size.

In addition, there is little vignetting so richly luminous, natural-form bokeh extends to the edge. The floating structure corrects various types of aberrations that tend to occur in close-up photography. Even at the minimum shooting distance, this lens gives excellent definition and sharpness worthy of the GR LENS name.

*There is a built-in extendable hood.

Beautiful bokeh and imaging power.23.6 mm × 15.7 mm CMOS sensor

The CMOS sensor boasts 23.6 mm × 15.7 mm size for rich bokeh and approximately 12.30 million effective pixels for superior resolution. Supporting the exceptional optical performance of the GR LENS, this image sensor enables the photographer to obtain both crisp details and refined bokeh, and the wide dynamic range gives rich tonal gradations. The result is high image quality that demands printing in large format.

Maximum 1/2x magnification and a focus ring for full-fledged close-up photography

Close-up photography at a maximum magnification of 1/2x is possible, with the minimum shooting distance approximately 7 cm from the front of the lens. A manual focus ring is also provided. If the body focus ring setting selected is

AF+MF, after the AF focusing is done it is possible to turn the focus ring to make fine adjustments to the focus.

Excellent correction of various types of aberrations. Sharp optical performance at all focal lengths

With wide focal length coverage in a single lens, the 24-72 mm 3x optical zoom can handle a diverse range of subjects. The lens configuration has 7 groups and 11 elements, and the rear focus technique convenient for fast AF is used.

Beginning with a large-diameter aspherical lens as the first element, there are a total of four aspherical lens elements situated in optimum positions. Using special low-dispersion glass and other techniques, we have achieved suppressing image distortion and color fringing near the edge, even at 24 mm wide-angle. With an extravagant optical design, compact size is maintained while achieving highresolution and contrast at all focal lengths. In production, the lens group optical axis and image sensor gradient are precisely adjusted in micron units. Superior optical performance to the edge of the image is insured before the image is delivered to the photographer.

Approach subject detail from 1 cm range. Close-up photography

Close-up photography with a minimum shooting distance of 1 cm (wide-angle; distance from front of lens) is possible. When used in combination with the digital zoom, which provides greater magnification than standard shooting, it is possible to fill the frame with a subject of about 4.4×3.3 mm size.

High-sensitivity CCD achieves natural and high image quality

Because it can achieve both high image quality and the portability needed for a photographer's "everyday" zoom lens, a 1/1.7-inch CCD is used as image sensor.

Providing both high-sensitivity and low-noise, this CCD can handle the wide sensitivity setting range of ISO100 to 3200. Even when shooting at high ISO sensitivity, it is possible to obtain natural high-quality images with low levels of both color noise and luminance noise.

Distinct images without blurring.

Camera shake correction and high-sensitivity setting

RICOH LENS S10 24-72 mm uses the Vibration Correction function developed independently by Ricoh. It is effective for preventing the camera shake that can occur in various situations, such as when you want an ambient-light atmosphere for sunset or party scenes, when shooting in museums and other public facilities where flash use is prohibited, when shooting nightscapes beyond flash range, and when shooting dark scenes with medium telephoto. In addition, blurring from both camera shake and subject movement can be suppressed using Auto-Hi (high sensitivity auto), which can be set as high as ISO3200.

Freedom to create the best image quality. Image settings adjustable to 9 levels

Image settings include Vivid, Standard, Natural, Black & White, B&W (TE), and

Setting. In addition, for Black & White, B&W (TE), and Setting, the range across which vividness, contrast, sharpness, and individual color settings can be adjusted has been broken down into nine levels. So it is now possible to fine tune image finishing in greater detail across a wider range.

ISO3200 high sensitivity, a strong ally in shooting dark scenes and preventing subject blur

Depending on the camera unit being used, high sensitivity settings of up to ISO1600 or

ISO3200 are possible. An image sensor with a high signal-to-noise ratio together with an advanced image processing engine make it possible to obtain natural-looking images with a low-noise feel even at high ISO settings. For the sensitivity setting, you can select Auto or Auto-Hi (high sensitivity auto), or specify the sensitivity yourself.

Natural color reproduction. Multi-pattern auto white balance

The GXR segregates the image into multiple areas and applies the optimum white balance to each. For example, in cases such as where a person is photographed with flash in a room illuminated by incandescent light, even if the subject and background have different color temperatures, both are reproduced with natural colors.

Seize that shutter chance. Full press snap

With this quick-shooting function, a one-push full-press of the shutter-release button instantly takes the shot, skipping the usual AF operation. It is possible to select from the following focus distances: 1 m, 1.5 m, 2 m, 2.5 m, 3 m, 3.5 m, 5 m, or infinity.

*Can only be used when focus is set to Multi AF or Spot AF.

Don't miss the moment. M-continuous plus

Shoot continuously by holding down the shutter-release button. When you release your finger from the button, multiple images shot up to that moment are recorded.

Select the HI setting when shooting speed is the priority and LO when resolution is the priority.

*The consecutively shot images are recorded as a single MP file (a file format with multiple still images in a single file). With MP file images, a selected frame can be extracted and saved as an individual

JPEG image within the camera. *Focus, exposure, and image size are fixed.

Speedy function settings via DIRECT screen

Pressing the DIRECT button located on the back of the body displays the current shooting settings. Since the settings are transparently displayed over the image, the image and the settings can be simultaneously checked. Then selecting an individual setting with the directional pad, a change* can be quickly made.

Background image density (four levels) can be changed by pressing the DISP. button while the DIRECT screen is displayed.

*For certain functions, setting changes cannot be made.

Flexible response to creative intent. Settings read when camera unit attached

The GXR remembers shooting settings in both the body and the camera unit. It is possible to specify in advance which settings are to be used. Select the body settings if you want to shoot and process images in the same way regardless of the camera unit. Select the camera unit settings if you want to change settings for image creation in a style specific to the camera unit. This increases shooting flexibility and speed by saving the time and effort involved in redoing settings.

Intuitive operation. 8-Directional pad handles diagonal movement

The directional pad handles diagonal movement in addition to the standard up-down and right-left. For example, the directional pad enables smoother and easier operations for AE/AF target selection, image selection on the micro-thumbnail display, etc.

Three My Settings and the My Settings Box

The GXR provides three My Settings. In addition, up to six special purpose and infrequently used My Settings can be saved in a My Settings Box and quickly assigned to the mode dial as necessary.

Direct operability. ADJ. lever and two Fn buttons

Frequently used functions can be assigned to the ADJ. lever. Press at the center to call up the registered functions and then press to the left or right to select a function. Use the + or – button to quickly complete the setting. In addition, there are two Fn buttons to which selected functions can be registered for switching with one push. Setting changes can be made directly without menu operations.

Precise focus checking with a 920,000-dot picture display

The GXR has a 3.0-inch, 920,000-dot VGA picture display. A wide color reproduction range with 100% sRGB coverage gives a high-reality image for both shooting and playback. Precise focus checking and a micro-thumbnail display with up to 81 images are possible. Various coatings are used to insure superior visibility and durability.

Performing with light and shadow. External TTL Flash GF-1

This is an external flash with G.No 20(24mm) -30(105mm) (ISO100•m). It utilizes an original TTL flash technique to provide precise flash exposure with auxiliary flash. Also capable of bounce flash to softly and naturally illuminate the subject with indirect light, the GF-1 enables the photographer to enjoy a wide range of creative shooting options only possible with an external flash. There are built-in wide-angle diffuser and catch-light panels. When the wide-angle diffuser panel is used, a coverage angle equivalent to 18 mm is possible.

Small size and 920,000-dot high definition. LCD Viewfinder VF-2

Attached to the hot shoe, the LCD viewfinder has a 100% field of view equivalent to approx. 920,000 dots. It provides a wealth of benefits to the photographer, such as eliminating the influence of sunlight to provide a consistently excellent field of view and helping control hand-motion blur by enabling a three-point hold. With a high-performance viewfinder optical system utilizing an aspherical lens, the VF-2 achieves a low-distortion field of view, a high image magnification ratio, and a wide diopter correction range (–1±3.5Dpt).

*When RAW is selected, this is the compression rate for the simultaneously recorded copy.*For shooting capacity, the number of still images and movie time are estimates. *Movies may be up to 90 minutes in length or 4GB in size. *The number of exposures remaining as shown on the picture display may differ from the actual number because image file size varies depending on the subject. *The shooting capacity for number of still images and movie recording time may vary depending on the capacity of the recording media (internal memory or SD memory card), the shooting conditions, and the type and manufacturer of the SD memory card. *A high-speed memory card is recommended when shooting for long periods. *For other compression rates please check the website.

Note: When shooting movies of 1280 × 720 size, the use of an SD/SDHC memory card with an SD speed class of Class 6 or higher is recommended.
