Basic Photography and Playback

Read this section before using your camera for the first time.

First Steps. 10
Taking Photographs. 17
Viewing and Deleting Photographs.29

Prepare the camera for use.

Charging the Battery

The rechargeable battery supplied with the camera is not charged at shipment. Charge the battery in the supplied BJ-6 battery charger before use.

1 Place the battery in the charger.

Place the battery label up with the "+" and "-" labels oriented to match the labels on the charger.

Caution

Be sure the battery is in the correct orientation.

2 Plug the charger in.

The charger lamp will light while the battery charges. An exhausted battery will recharge in about two hours at 25^

Note

If the charger lamp blinks, a battery or charger fault may have occurred. Unplug the charger and remove the battery.

3 Remove the battery.

Charging is complete when the charger lamp turns off. Unplug the charger and remove the battery.

Compatible Batteries

The camera can be used with a DB-65 rechargeable Li-ion battery (supplied; DB-60 rechargeable batteries can also be used) or with a pair of AAA alkaline or rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.

Tip: Battery Capacity

Under normal conditions, about 370 shots can be taken with a fully-charged DB-65 battery. About 25 shots can be taken with a pair of fresh AAA alkaline batteries manufactured by Panasonic. These figures are based on tests conducted according to CIPA standards under the following conditions: temperature 23^ (73^) ; picture display on; 10 shots taken with 30 seconds between shots and the flash fired with every other shot; and the cycle repeated after the camera has been turned off and then on again.

Cautions

• Rechargeable Li-ion batteries: Use only genuine DB-65 or DB-60 batteries. Do not use batteries not specifically designated by Ricoh for use in this camera.
• Alkaline batteries: Battery life varies with make and storage conditions. Capacity drops at low temperatures.
• NiMH batteries: NiMH batteries are not charged at purchase and gradually lose their charge over time. Charge before use. Note that performance may be impaired immediately after purchase or following an extended period of disuse, and that the batteries may need to be used and recharged two or three times before they will hold a charge.
• Manganese and Ni-Cd batteries can not be used.
• Batteries may be hot immediately after use. Before removing batteries, turn the camera off and wait for them to cool down.
• Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for extended periods.

Inserting the Battery

Be sure the camera is off before inserting or removing batteries.

1 Open the battery/card cover. Unlatch (①) and open (②) the cover.
2 Insert the battery. Using the battery to keep the battery latch pressed to one side, slide the battery in. The latch will click into place when the battery is fully inserted.
3 Close the battery/card cover. Close (①) and latch (②) the cover.

Caution

Be sure the cover is latched.

Removing the Battery

Unlatch and open the battery/card cover, then press and release the latch and remove the battery by hand, being careful not to drop it.

Tip: Inserting and Removing AAA Batteries

Insert in the orientation shown, press the cover closed, and slide the release lever to the closed position. To remove, simply unlatch and open the cover.

Caution

If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries and store them in a cool dry place.

Inserting Memory Cards

Pictures can be stored in the camera's 88MB internal memory, or optional SD and SDHC memory cards can be used to store additional pictures. Internal memory is used for recording and playback if no card is inserted; if a card is inserted, the card will be used instead.

Before inserting or removing a memory card, be sure the camera is off. To insert a memory card:

1 Open the battery/card cover. Unlatch (①) and open (②) the cover.
2 Insert the card. Holding the memory card in the orientation shown, slide it in until it clicks into place.
3 Close the battery/card cover. Close (①) and latch (②) the cover.

Removing Memory Cards

Unlatch and open the battery/card cover and press the memory card in to eject it. The card can then be removed by hand.

• Pictures will not be recorded to internal memory when a memory card is inserted, even if the memory card is full.
• Keep the memory card contacts clean.

Tip: Write Protection

Memory cards can be protected by sliding the write-protection switch to "LOCK", keeping data from being written to or deleted from the card and preventing the card from being formatted.

Pictures can not be taken when the memory card is locked; lock the card only to prevent accidental loss of data and be sure to unlock the card before shooting.

Notes

• Format memory cards before first use or after they have been used in a computer or other device (page 124). Be sure to back up any important data before formatting.
• See page 161 for information on memory card capacity.
• Pictures can be copied to memory cards from internal memory (page 97).

Turning the Camera on and Off

Shooting Mode

Press the POWER button to turn the camera on. The POWER button will light and the camera will play the start-up sound. The autofocus/ flash lamp blinks for several seconds while the camera starts up.

To turn the camera off, press the POWER button again. The number of pictures taken so far that day will be displayed before the camera turns off (zero is displayed if the camera clock is not set; if you

turn the camera off after changing the clock, the camera will display the number of pictures taken since the clock was changed).

Cautions

• The camera may take slightly longer to start up if the flash is on.
• Changes to continuous (page 68), interval (page 75), and self-timer (page 26) settings are lost when the camera is turned off. Turning the camera off restores settings for "MY" modes to the values saved with Reg. My Settings. Other settings are unaffected.

2 Take the picture.

Gently press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to take the picture. The photograph you have just taken will be displayed in the picture display as it is recorded to the memory card or internal memory.

Tip: The Shutter-Release Button

The camera has a two-stage shutter-release button. To focus, lightly press the shutter-release button until you feel resistance. This is called "pressing the shutter-release button halfway." Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to shoot.

Tip: Focus

The autofocus/flash lamp and the focus frame show whether the subject is in focus.

Focus status	Focus frame	Autofocus/flash lamp
Camera has not yet focused.	White	Off
Subject in focus.	Green	On (green)
Camera unable to focus.	Blinks (red)	Blinks (green)

The camera may be unable to focus on the following:

• Objects that lack contrast, such as the sky, a wall that is only one color, or the hood of a car
• Flat objects containing only horizontal lines
• Fast-moving objects
• Objects that are poorly lit
• Objects with bright reflections or backlighting
• Flickering objects, such as fluorescent lights
• Point light sources, such as light bulbs, spotlights, or LEDs Note that one or more focus frames may be displayed in green if the camera is unable to focus with the above subjects; check focus in the picture display before shooting. If the camera is unable to focus, lock focus on another object at the same distance from the camera as your subject, then recompose the photograph and take the picture (page 21).

Tip: Avoiding Blurred Pictures

To prevent blurring caused by the camera moving when the shutter is released ("camera shake"), press the shutter-release button smoothly and gently. Blurring is particularly likely to occur if:

• The flash is off and lighting is poor, or
  The camera is zoomed in (page 22)

In situations in which photographs are especially prone to blurring caused by camera shake, a icon will be displayed in the picture display. Hold the camera steady and try focusing again, or attempt one of the following remedies:

• Turning the flash on (♂) or using auto flash (♀; see page 24)
• Choosing a higher ISO (page 84)
  Using the self-timer (page 26)

Notes

• If the flash will fire when the picture is taken, a pre-flash will be emitted to assist focus and exposure.
• You can choose how long pictures are displayed in the picture display after shooting. If desired, photographs can be displayed until the shutter-release button is pressed halfway (page 126).
• In mode, a built-in neutral density (ND) filter is used for between f/8.0 and f/11. The smallest aperture available in mode is f/11.

Focus Lock

Use focus lock to compose photographs in which the subject is not in the center of the frame. Focus lock can also be used if the camera is unable to focus (page 18).

1 Focus.

Position your subject in the center of the picture display and press the shutter-release button halfway to focus.

2 Recompose the photograph.

Keeping the shutter-release button pressed halfway to lock focus, recompose the photograph.

Playback Mode

Press the (DISP.) button to cycle through the following displays:

Indicators displayed

Details+ histogram

No indicators

Highlights

Tip: Highlights

The flashing portions of the highlights display mark "washed out" areas in which details may have been lost to overexposure. Check highlights after shooting in direct sunlight or in other conditions in which parts of the image may be overexposed. If it seems important details may have been lost, choose a lower exposure compensation value and shoot again (page 77). Note that the display is intended only as a guide and may not be entirely accurate.

Tip: The Histogram

The histogram is a graph showing the distribution of pixels of different brightness in the image. Brightness is plotted on the horizontal axis, with shadows at the left and highlights at the right. The vertical axis gives the number of pixels. The histogram can be used to assess exposure and check for loss of detail in highlights and shadows without the brightness of your surroundings affecting your judgement. A histogram in which pixels are clustered on the right indicates that the image may be overexposed, while a histogram in which pixels are clustered on the left indicates that the image may be underexposed.

If the image appears to be incorrectly exposed, you may be able to use exposure compensation to correct exposure in subsequent photographs of the same subject (page 77; note that exposure compensation may be insufficient to produce the correct exposure in some cases). The histogram can also be used as a guide when adjusting contrast in photographs after shooting (pages 101, 102).

The histogram is intended as a guide only and may not be completely accurate, particularly in cases in which the flash is used or ambient lighting is poor.

More on Photography

This section provides information on P, A, S, M, SCENE, and "MY" modes and on using shooting menu options.

Mode P: Program Shift

When the mode dial is rotated to P (program shift), you can use the up-down dial to choose from several combinations of shutter speed and aperture, all of which produced the same exposure.

1 Choose mode P.

Rotate the mode dial to P. The shooting mode is shown by an icon in the display.

2 Measure exposure.

Press the shutter-release button halfway to measure exposure. The current shutter speed and aperture appear in the display.

3 Choose shutter speed and aperture.

Remove your finger from the shutter-release button and rotate the up-down dial to select a combination of shutter speed and aperture.

Shutter speed and aperture can be adjusted for ten seconds after you remove your finger from the shutter-release button.

4 Take the photograph.

Gently press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the photograph.

Note: The Exposure Program

The exposure program (ISO 100, flash off) is shown below. The shaded area gives the combinations of shutter speed and aperture available at each exposure value (EV).

Mode A: Aperture Priority

In mode A (aperture priority), you choose the aperture and the camera selects the shutter speed. Choose large apertures (low f-numbers) to emphasize the main

subject by blurring background and foreground details. Choose small apertures (high f-numbers) to bring both the background and main subject into focus.

1 Choose mode A.

Rotate the mode dial to A. The current aperture is displayed in orange.

2 Choose an aperture.

Rotate the up-down dial to choose an aperture. Your se

lection only takes effect when the photo is taken; the effect can not be previewed in the picture display.

3 Press the shutter-release button halfway.

Press the shutter-release button halfway to set focus and exposure. The shutter speed selected by the camera will be displayed in the picture display.

4 Take the photograph.

Gently press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to shoot.

Note

If auto aperture shift is on (page 85), the camera will adjust aperture for optimal exposure.

Mode S:Shutter Priority

In mode S (shutter priority), you choose the shutter speed and the camera selects the aperture. Choose fast shutter speeds to "freeze" motion, slow shutter

speeds to suggest motion by blurring moving objects.

1 Choose mode S.

Rotate the mode dial to S. The current shutter speed is displayed in orange.

2 Choose shutter speed.

Rotate the up-down dial to choose a shutter speed.

Press the shutter-release button halfway.

Press the shutter-release button halfway to set focus and exposure. The aperture selected by the camera will be displayed in the picture display.

4 Take the photograph.

Gently press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to shoot.

Note

Maximum aperture (i.e., the lowest possible f-number) may not be selected at slow shutter speeds, even when the subject is poorly lit.

Mode M: Manual Exposure

In mode M (manual exposure), you use the up-down dial to choose aperture and the ADJ lever to select a shutter speed.

1 Choose mode M.

Rotate the mode dial to M. The shooting mode, exposure indicator, and current aperture and shutter speed appear in the display.

2 Choose an aperture and shutter speed.

Rotate the up-down dial to choose an aperture and press the ADJ lever left or right to select a shutter speed (if de

sired, the roles of the two controls can be reversed; see page 123). The effects can be previewed in the picture display and are reflected in the exposure indicator (if the image would be under- or over-exposed by more than 2EV , the effects can not be previewed and the indicator will turn orange).

3 Focus.

Press the shutter-release button halfway to focus.

4 Take the photograph.

Gently press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to shoot.

Notes

• If Auto or Auto-Hi is selected for ISO Setting (page 84), ISO will be fixed at 100 while the camera is in manual exposure mode.
• Choose slower shutter speeds for longer exposure times. To reduce blur caused by camera shake, hold the camera steadily in both hands or use a tripod. The picture display turns off while the shutter is open. At speeds of 10 s or slower, the camera automatically processes photographs to remove noise, increasing the time needed to record images to about twice the shutter speed.
• Autoexposure (AE) lock is not available in manual exposure mode. If AE Lock is selected for Set Fn1 Button or Set Fn2 Button in the setup menu, pressing the affected button in manual exposure mode will set shutter speed or aperture to a value close to that needed for optimal exposure. Similarly, if Exposure Comp. is selected for Zoom Button in the setup menu, pressing the and buttons will not display exposure compensation options in manual exposure mode, but will instead set shutter speed or aperture to a value close to that needed for optimal exposure. This is useful when you want to use optimal exposure as a starting point for modifying exposure. The One Press M Mode option in the setup menu determines whether shutter speed or aperture is altered to achieve optimal exposure.

SCENE Mode: Matching Settings to the Scene

Select SCENE mode to shoot movies or to choose from one of the following subject types. Camera settings are automatically optimized for the selected subject type.

Option	Description
DR Dynamic Range	Choose for natural contrast when photographing subjects that are partly in the shade on a sunny day and other high-contrast scenes (page 48). A tripod is required; results are not guaranteed with subjects that are in motion.
Skew Correct Mode	Reduce the effects of perspective when photograph-ing rectangular objects, such as message boards or business cards (page 51).
Text Mode	Make black-and-white photographs of text or drawings on notepaper or a white board (page 52).
Movie	Shoot movies with sound (page 87).

To select a scene mode option:

1 Rotate the mode dial to SCENE.

The option currently selected for SCENE mode appears in the display.

2 Press MENU/OK.

A menu of scene mode options will be displayed.

3 Select an option.

Press or to highlight an option and press MENU/OK to return to shooting mode with the selected option shown at the top of the display.

4 Shoot.

• Dynamic range double shot: See page 48.
• Skew correct mode: See page 51.
• Text mode: See page 52.
• Movie mode: See page 87.

Tip: Using the Menu

To access the shooting and setup menus in SCENE mode, press the MENU/OK button to display the scene mode menu and press to highlight the mode tab. Press or to highlight the shooting menu tab (page 54), key custom settings tab (page 112), or setup menu tab (page 112), and press to place the cursor in the selected menu. See pages 55-56 for information on the shooting menu options available in each mode.

① Modetab
② Shooting menu tab
③ Key custom settings tab
④ Setup menu tab

SCENE Mode: Dynamic Range Double Shot

Each time the shutter-release button is pressed, the camera takes two shots at different exposures, then combines the areas that are

correctly exposed to create a single composite image with natural contrast, reducing loss of detail in highlights and shadows. Use to photograph scenes that contain both sunlight and shade or other high-contrast subjects.

Cautions

• The flash turns off, digital zoom can not be used, and RAW options can not be selected for Picture Quality/Size (page 57).
• The desired effect may not be achieved if the scene is too bright or too dark.
• Moving subjects may be blurred.
• Flicker from fluorescent lights may affect colors and brightness.

Tip: Dynamic Range

"Dynamic range" refers to the range of tones that can be expressed by the camera, which is narrower than that visible to the naked eye. In high-contrast scenes, this may result in loss of detail in highlights and shadows. Dynamic range double shot creates a smooth transition from highlights to shadows for natural contrast.

1 Mount the camera on a tripod.

Note

Dynamic range double shot requires more time to create an exposure than other modes, and an icon is displayed to show that photos may be blurred. Use a tripod. Note that the camera may move when the shutter-release button is pressed, even if mounted on a tripod. This can be prevented by using the self-timer (page 26) or an optional CA-1 cable switch wired remote shutter release.

2 Focus.

Press the shutter-release button halfway to set focus, exposure, and white balance.

3 Shoot.

Gently press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down. The camera will take two pictures and combine them to create a single image with an enhanced dynamic range.

Shooting Menu Options

The following shooting menu options are available only in dynamic range double shot mode:

• Dynamic Range Expansion: Choose amount by which dynamic range is enhanced.
• Plus Normal Shooting: Choose On to record two copies of each photo, one with normal exposure and another with enhanced dynamic range.

Follow the steps below to adjust these options in dynamic range double shot mode.

1 Display the shooting menu. Press MENU/OK to display the scene-mode menu. Press to highlight the mode tab, press to highlight the shooting menu tab, and press to place the cursor in the shooting menu.

2 Select a menu item. Press or to highlight Dynamic Range Expansion or Plus Normal Shooting and press to display options for the highlighted item.

3 Select an option. Press or to highlight an option and press MENU/OK to select.

Tip: Plus Normal Shooting

When photographs taken with On selected for Plus Normal Shooting are displayed in the picture display after shooting, both the enhanced and unmodified copies appear with histograms showing tone distribution. If Hold is selected for LCD Confirmation

Time in the setup menu (page 126), the images will be displayed until the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

SCENE Mode: Skew Correct

To take pictures in skew correct mode, frame the subject so that it occupies as much of the frame as possible and press the shutter-release button to take the photograph. If the camera is able to detect an object that can be used to correct perspective, a message will be displayed with the object shown by an orange frame. The camera can detect up to five objects; to select a different object, press , or press to record the photograph without correcting perspective. If the camera is unable to detect a suitable subject, an error message will be displayed and the photograph will be recorded without modification.

Caution: Skew Correct Mode

The camera records two images each time the shutter is released: the unmodified photograph and a copy that has been processed to correct perspective. No photograph will be taken if memory is insufficient to record two images. The camera may be unable to correct perspective if:

• The subject is out of focus.
• The four edges of the subject are not clearly visible.
• There is little contrast between the subject and the background.
• The background contains many fine details.

Tip: Skew Correction

The Skew Correction option in the playback menu can be used to correct perspective in existing photographs (page 98).

N2048(3M)		2,048×1,5363
N1280(1M)4		1,280×960	Allows more photos to be stored.
N640(VGA)4		640×480	Produces small images suited to e-mail or the web and allows more photos to be stored.

1 Not available in dynamic range double shot mode.
2 Edges of display blacked out to show crop in picture display.
3 One of two options available in text mode.
4 One of two options available in skew correct mode.

The camera supports the following picture qualities:

• Normal: JPEG compression is used to reduce file size.
• Fine: Compression is reduced for improved quality. File size increases, reducing number of photos that can be recorded.
• RAW: Raw image data are saved in DNG format; JPEG copies are also created. The camera displays only the JPEG copy; DNG files can be viewed and edited on a computer using the supplied Irodio Photo & Video Studio Software (Windows only) or commercially-available applications that support the DNG format.

Unlike normal- and fine-quality images, RAW images are not compressed. This increases file size but avoids the loss of quality associated with JPEG compression. Note the following when shooting RAW images:

• Some settings can not be used, as detailed in the section for the affected setting. Image Settings and Date Imprint options apply only to JPEG copies and have no effect on the DNG images.
• The size and quality of the JPEG copies recorded with DNG images can be selected using the RAW/JPEG Setting option in the setup menu (page 131).
• The number of RAW photographs that can be taken in a single burst in continuous mode varies with the option selected for Noise Reduction (page 74). Up to five photographs can be taken when noise reduction is disabled; when noise reduction is enabled, this number drops to four.

Focus

Choose how the camera focuses. By default, the camera uses autofocus; other options are listed below.

Option	Description
Multi AF	The camera selects the focus area with the closest subject, preventing out-of-focus shots by keeping the camera from focusing on the background.
Spot AF	Focus on the subject in the center of the frame.
MF (manual focus)	Focus manually (page 60).
Snap	Focus is fixed at distance selected with Snap Focus Distance (page 64) for quick shutter response.
∞ (infinity)	Fix the focus distance at infinity when photograph-ing distant scenes.

In the case of MF, Snap, and , the current selection is shown by an icon in the picture display.

Tip: Depth of Field

Depth of field is the distance in front of and behind the focus point that appears to be in focus. Small apertures (high f-numbers) increase depth of field, bringing more of the scene into focus; large apertures (low f-numbers) decrease depth of field, emphasizing the main subject by blurring the foreground and background. At

settings of MF, Snap, and , the focus bar shows depth of field in shooting modes M, A, and P (in mode P, depth of field is only shown when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway and aperture values are displayed).

Focus bar (distances are approximate)

Depth of field (green)

Note

The Fn buttons can be used to switch back and forth between autofocus and manual or snap focus (page 121).

Focus: MF (Manual Focus)

Manual focus can be used to lock focus over a series of photographs or to focus when the camera is unable to focus using autofocus.

Note

Manual focus is not available in text mode (page 46).

1 Select MF (manual focus).

Select MF in the Focus menu. The focus mode and focus bar (page 59) are displayed in the picture display.

2 Choose the focus distance.

Press to increase the focus distance, to decrease.

To zoom in on the subject in the center of the picture display and check focus, press and hold the MENU/OK button. Press and hold the button again to return to the normal shooting display.

3 Take the picture.

See the section on the selected shooting mode for more information.

Choosing the Focus and Metering Target

Target selection can be used to set focus and exposure for off-center subjects without moving the camera, making it easier to use a tripod.

1 Activate target selection.

Press the ADJ lever in and then press the lever left or right to highlight = 5 . Press or to highlight one of the following options and press MENU/OK to select.

Option	Description
AE/AF	Spot metering and spot autofocus; choose the focus and exposure target.

AE	Spot metering; choose the metering target. Focus is set using the option selected for Focus (page 59).
Off	Target selection off.

2 Position the target.

Using the , , and buttons, position the cross hairs over your subject and press MENU/OK (to return to the target selection menu, press DISP.).

3 Take the picture.

Press the shutter-release button halfway to set focus and/or exposure for the selected subject and then gently press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to take the picture.

Notes

• Target selection is not available in manual focus mode (page 60).
• The selected target remains in effect until a new target is selected. Note that target will be reset if you choose a new option in the target-selection menu or select manual focus.
• When the mode dial is rotated to SCENE, the focus target for macro mode can be selected by pressing the ADJ. lever in, selecting, and then using the , , , and buttons to position the cross-hairs as described on page 63.
• The Fn buttons can be used for focus target selection in macro mode (see below). Note that if the Fn buttons have been used to select the focus target, the ADJ lever can not be used for target selection until the target is reset.

Macro Target Selection

If Macro Target is assigned to the Fn1 or Fn2 button (pages 121-122), you can select macro mode by pressing the chosen button in shooting mode. The cross-hairs shown at right will be displayed; use the , , , and buttons to position the cross-hairs over your

subject and press MENU/OK (to exit without moving the target, press DISP.). Press the shutter-release button halfway to focus on the selected target and then gently press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to take the picture.

Note that if the ADJ lever has been used to select the focus target, the Fn buttons can not be used for target selection until the target is reset. Target selection can be reset by pressing the button.

Snap Focus Distance

Select the distance at which the camera focuses when Snap is selected for Focus (page 59) or Full Press Snap is on (see below). Choose from 1m (3.3 ft.), 2.5m (8.2 ft.), 5m (16.4 ft.), and (infinity).

Note

When Snap is selected for Focus or Full Press Snap is on, the snap focus distance can also be selected by pressing and rotating the up-down dial.

Full Press Snap

Take photographs without pausing to focus the camera when Multi AF or Spot AF is selected for Focus (page 59).

Option	Description
Off	The camera focuses normally.
On	If the shutter-release is pressed all the way down in one motion, the camera will take a picture at the focus distance selected for Snap Focus Distance. Choose when quick shutter response is required.
On (Auto-Hi ISO)	As for On, except that ISO sensitivity is automatically set to Auto-Hi (page 84).

Tip: Autofocus

The camera will focus normally if you pause with the shutter-release button pressed halfway.

Cautions

• Full press snap is not available in macro mode or when MF, Snap, or is selected for Focus.
• Care is required to avoid blur caused by camera movement.

Pre-AF

If On is selected when Multi AF or Spot AF is selected for Focus (page 59), the camera will continue to focus even when the shutter-release button is not pressed halfway (the focus range, however, is narrower than for normal focus). This may decrease the time needed to focus when a picture is taken, potentially improving shutter response.

Cautions

• Pre-AF is not available when MF, Snap, or is selected for Focus.

Tips: Choosing the Black Point, White Point, and Mid-Point

• Adjusting brightness: To make the image brighter, move the mid-point to the right. Moving the mid-point to the left makes the image darker.

• Correcting exposure: If the image is overexposed, move the black point to the right until it lines up with the darkest pixel in the histogram (see right). If the image is underexposed, move the white point to the left until it lines up with the brightest pixel. You can then move the mid-point left or right to adjust brightness.

Correcting overexposure

• Increasing contrast: To increase contrast, align the black point and white point with the darkest and brightest pixels as shown at right. You can then move the mid-point left or right to adjust brightness.

Cautions

• Level correction is available only with still images taken with this camera. It is not available with movies or pictures taken using S-Cont or M-Cont. The desired results may not be achieved with monochrome images or photographs taken in text mode.
• Although level correction can be applied multiple times, the compression applied every time a copy is saved will result in a drop in image quality.

• Regardless of the setting chosen, the picture display turns on when any of the following buttons are pressed: the ADJ. lever, the MENU/OK, [DISP.), and [buttons, the Q and [buttons (except when Off is selected for Zoom Button; page 122), and the ▲ and [buttons (manual focus mode only).
• The tilt indicator is not displayed when the picture display is off.

CL-BKT Black & White (TE)

Choose the number and type of copies created with color bracketing (page 71). Select On to record three copies of each shot (one in black and white, a second in color, and a third using a monochrome tint), Off to record two copies (one in black and white and the second in color).

Note

Regardless of the setting chosen, three copies of each photograph will be recorded if B&W (TE) is selected for Image Settings.

RAW/JPEG Setting

Choose the quality and size of JPEG copies recorded when a RAW-quality option is selected for Picture Quality/Size (page 57). Select Fine or Normal to record a fine- or normal-quality copy of the same dimensions as the RAW image, N640 (VGA) to record a normal-quality copy 640 × 480 pixels in size.

Note

If a RAW-quality option with an aspect ratio of 3:2 or 1:1 is selected for Picture Quality/Size when N640 is selected, black bands will be added above and below or to either side of the JPEG copies to give them an aspect ratio of 4:3.

Color Space Setting

Choose the color space used to record photographs. sRGB is widely used to reproduce digital images but offers a smaller gamut of colors than AdobeRGB.

Caution

The Adobe RGB color space was developed by Adobe Systems, Inc., and is compatible with the default color space used in Adobe Photoshop and other image editing software. Note, however, that colors will only be reproduced correctly in software that supports the Adobe RGB color space. Note too that specialized equipment is required to print the full range of colors in the Adobe RGB gamut; when printed using consumer household printers or digital photo print services, colors will generally be less vivid than in photographs that use the sRGB color space.

Digital Zoom Image

If Normal (the default option) is selected for Digital Zoom Image and an option with a size of 3,648 × 2,736 is selected for Picture Quality/Size, digital zoom will enlarge image data from the center of the frame to create a picture 3,648 × 2,736 pixels in size, creating a slightly grainy image. To record pictures taken with digital zoom at actual size, select Auto Resize. The size at which the image will be recorded varies with the zoom ratio:

Zoom ratio	Size (pixels)	Zoom ratio	Size (pixels)
1.0×	3,648×2,736 (10M)	1.8×	2,048×1,536 (3M)
1.1×	3,264×2,448 (8M)	2.9×	1,280×960 (1M)
1.4×	2,592×1,944 (5M)	5.7×	640×480 (VGA)

The current picture size is displayed in the picture display when the camera is zoomed in.

Caution

The option selected for Digital Zoom image only takes effect when Digital Zoom is selected for Zoom Button (page 122). Auto Resize has no effect when S-Cont or M-Cont is selected for Continuous, when a RAW-quality option is selected for Picture Quality/Size, or when is selected in SCENE mode.

Store Menu Cursor Position

If On is selected, the most-recently accessed item will be highlighted when menus are displayed.

Card Sequence No.

Choose how the camera names image files when saving photographs to a memory card.

• On: Files names consist of "R" followed by a seven-digit number (e.g., "R0010001.jpg"), assigned in ascending order from 0010001 to 9999999. When a new memory card is inserted, file numbering continues from the last number used.
• Off: Files names consist of "RIMG" followed by a four-digit number (e.g., "RIMG0001.jpg"), assigned in ascending order from 0001 to 9999. When a new memory card is inserted, file numbering is reset to 0001.

Notes

• This option applies only to memory cards. The names of photos in internal memory consist of "RIMG" and a four-digit number.
• Photos copied to a computer using DL-10 (page 136) are given new names consisting of "RIMG" and a four-digit number.
• Photos taken with AdobeRGB selected for Color Space Setting (page 132) are indicated by file names beginning with an underscore (e.g., "R010001.jpg" or "RIMG001.jpg").

Caution

When On is selected, no further photographs can be stored if the memory card contains a folder numbered 999 and a file name ending in 9999; when Off is selected, no further photographs can be stored if the memory card contains a file numbered 9999. To take additional photos, format the card after copying its contents to a computer.

An optional AC adapter is recommended for extended use or when the camera is connected to a computer. Be sure the camera is off before connecting the AC adapter.

1 Open the battery/card cover.

Unlatch (①) and open (②) the cover and remove any batteries.

Insert the AC adapter coupler.

The battery latch will click into place when the coupler is fully inserted.

3 Place the cable in the cable channel.

Open the power (DC input) cable cover and place the power cable in the cable channel.

4 Close the battery/card cover.

Close (1) and latch (2) the cover.

Caution

Be sure the cover is latched.

5 Plug the adapter in.

Attach the AC cable to the adapter and plug it in to a power outlet.

Caution

Be sure that both plugs are fully inserted.

Cautions

• Disconnect the AC adapter and unplug it from the power outlet when not in use.
• Data may become corrupted if the AC adapter is disconnected or power is interrupted while the camera is on.
• The battery indicator (i) may be displayed while the AC adapter is in use. This is normal, and you can continue using the camera.
• Do not pick up the camera by the cable when the AC adapter is attached.

Disconnecting the AC Adapter

Be sure the camera is off before disconnecting the AC adapter.

1 Unplug the adapter.
2 Open the battery/card cover. Slide the release lever to "OPEN" and open the cover.
3 Remove the AC adapter coupler.

The GF-1 Flash Unit

An optional GF-1 flash unit can be connected to the camera hot shoe.

1 Close the flash cover (page 25).
2 Attach the flash.

Turn the camera and the GF-1 off and attach the GF-1 to the camera hot shoe.

3 Turn the flash and camera on.

Note

If the optional flash unit icon is not displayed, turn the GF-1 and camera off and then remove and reattach flash.

Cautions

• Blur may occur at slow shutter speeds.
• Do not use the built-in flash when the GF-1 is attached. Failure to observe this precaution could cause injury or damage the product.

Other Flash Units

Use only flash units with one signal terminal, which must be an X-contact with a positive voltage of no more than 20V . Use a flash that covers the angle of view of the lens.

1 Close the flash cover (page 25).
2 Attach the flash.

Turn the camera and the optional flash unit off and attach the flash to the camera hot shoe.

3 Set aperture manually.

Turn the camera on, select mode A or M, and choose an aperture (pages 14, 43, 44).

4 Choose a manual ISO sensitivity setting.

Select an option other than Auto for ISO sensitivity (page 84).

5 Turn the flash on.

Turn the flash on and set it to auto mode. Set aperture and ISO sensitivity to the values selected with the camera. Take a test shot and adjust flash aperture and ISO settings as necessary.

Turn the optional flash unit off before removing it from the camera.

Cautions

• If the external flash is on, it will fire with every shot regardless to the flash mode selected with the camera. Turn the flash unit off to shoot without the flash.

• Optional flash units are in principle for use at ranges that exceed the range of the built-in flash. Using an optional flash unit at shorter ranges may result in overexposure.

Using the AC-4c AC Adapter and BJ-6 Battery Charger

These products are for use with currents of 100-240V and 50 or 60Hz . Before travelling, purchase a travel adapter for connection to the type of outlets used at your destination. Do not use these products with electrical transformers, as this could damage the camera.

Precautions for Use

• This product was manufactured for use in the country of purchase; the warranty is not valid in other countries. Should the product fail or malfunction while out of the country, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for servicing the product locally or bearing any expenditure incurred thereby.

• Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shocks. When carrying the camera, be careful that it does not strike other objects. Particular care is required to protect the lens and picture display.

• The flash may overheat if fired many times in succession. Do not use the flash more than necessary. Do not use the flash in close contact with your body or other objects. Failure to observe these precautions could result in burns or fire.

• Using the flash unit in close proximity to your subject's eyes could cause temporary visual impairment. Particular care should be observed when photographing infants. Do not direct the flash at the operator of a motor vehicle.
• Batteries may become hot with extended use. Wait for batteries to cool before removing them from the camera.
• The picture display may be difficult to read in direct sunlight.
• You may notice that picture display varies in brightness or contains pixels that do not light or that are always lit. This is common to all LCD monitors and does not indicate a malfunction.
• Do not apply force to the picture display.
• Abrupt changes in temperature may cause condensation, resulting in visible condensation inside the lens or camera malfunction. This can be avoided by placing the camera in a plastic bag to slow the temperature change, and removing it only after the air in the bag has reached the same temperature its surroundings.
• To prevent damage to the product, do not insert objects into the holes in the microphone and speaker coverings.
• Keep the camera dry and avoid handling it with wet hands. Failure to observe these precautions could result in product malfunction or electric shock.
• Take a test shot to ensure that the camera is functioning properly before using it on important occasions such as travel or weddings. We recommend that you keep this manual and spare batteries at hand.

Tip: Avoiding Condensation

Condensation is particularly likely to occur if you move to an area with a sharply different temperature, if humidity is high, in a cold room after the heater has come on, or where the camera is exposed to cold air from an air conditioner or other device.

Caring for the Camera

• Photographs can be affected by fingerprints and other foreign matter on the lens. Avoid touching the lens with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a blower from a camera supply store, or gently clean the lens with a soft, dry cloth. Clean the picture display by wiping it with a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of any monitor cleaner that does not contain organic solvents.
• Clean the camera thoroughly after using it at the beach or handling cosmetics. Do not expose the camera to volatile substances such as thinner, benzene, or pesticides. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the camera or its finish.
• In the unlikely event of malfunction, visit a Ricoh Repair Center.
• The camera contains high-voltage circuits. Do not disassemble.
• The picture display is easily scratched; avoid touching it with hard objects.
