Specifications

You want delicate control over depth of field. Aperture priority mode gives
it to you. Set it to open with the up-down dial and enjoy a wide range of
depth with fine control. You are free to, for example, narrow the aperture to
aim for pan-focus images. With a depth of field deeper than a single reflex
lens, you can get well-focused
images from directly in front of
you to far away. And you can
manually set the shutter speed
from a high speed of 1/2000 to
a long exposure of 30 seconds.
Greater control than ordinary compact digital cameras:
Aperture Priority and Manual Exposure modes.
When the contrast of the light is strong, or when you want a white object
to be a little whiter or a black object a little blacker, correcting the expo-
sure so it is slightly over or under results in beautiful images with more
effective lighting and shading. The Caplio GX can correct exposure in
1/3 EV steps within a range of ± 2.0 EV.
Delicate exposure correction for
more subtle lighting effects.
The Caplio GX features a 1/1.8-type high resolution CCD with 5.13 effec-
tive-megapixel resolution (total of 5.25 megapixels) that ensures excellent
results in a wide range of shooting situations. The combination of this CCD
and a low-noise, single-chip processor gives you the high image quality
required for full-size A3-spread prints.
The 3x optical zoom expands the cam-
era’s wide angle to 28 mm, a range diffi-
cult for other compact digital cameras to
achieve. It lets you shoot wide images
that couldn’t be accommodated in the
frame. In addition, Ricoh’s new zoom lens
utilizes 9 elements in 7 groups to guaran-
tee adequate peripheral light, usually a problem at wide angle edges. Four
aspherical lenses and four lenses with high refractive index and low dis-
persion are arranged to ensure well-balanced correction of aberration in
all zoom ranges. The lens quality is comparable to a CCD having 6 or
more megapixels.
