optical 4.8x zoom lens.
How did we fit a powerful 4.8x (28mm-135mm) optical zoom lens
inside a 25mm slim camera? With our ingenious Retracting LENS
System, which swings part of the lens group like a pendulum in-
side the camera when the lens retracts. As a result, the Caplio R1V
is about 26% slimmer than cameras with conventional lens systems.
To maximize the image capturing power of the 5.0-megapixel CCD,
four highly refractive, low-dispersion glass lenses are incorporated.

Slim, compact and packed with leading-edge technology.
Images captured from a wide-angle lens are expansive, requiring the
CCD to handle greater amounts of information.To process the infor-
mation rapidly, the Caplio R1V incorporates Ricoh’s Smooth Imaging
Engine image processing system, which features 12-bit image proc-
essing and filtering processing to produce images with natural grada-
tion and very low noise. Our color management software matches the
CCD’s spectral sensitivity, optimizing color reproduction. For natural
images with true colors, the Caplio R1V simply is more advanced.
Introducing Ricoh s Smooth Imaging Engine image
processing system. The brain of a more highly evolved
camera.
The energy-wise Caplio R1V takes around 490 pictures on a rechargeable battery.

Rechargeable battery
You get high performance using less energy with the Caplio
R1V. Using the camera’s rechargeable battery, you can take
about 490 pictures between charges.AA alkaline batteries,
which offer a great back-up plan when you’re on vacation or
working, give you around 200 shots . Plus, you can run the
camera from its AC adaptor. So, altogether the Caplio R1V
offersthree easy and efficient power-up options.To conserve
Ricoh was a pioneer in bringing wide-angle photography tothe Caplio
series.Our newest Caplio features a wide-angle 28mm view, expand-
ing your perspective far beyondthat ofcommon 35mm digital cameras.
So you can capture more even when you have less room to work with.
Broaden your horizons with a wide-angle 28mm view.

ter button. In S-continuous mode, one press of the shutter button fires
16 shots in 2.2 seconds and stores them in a single file. And M-contin-
uous mode memorizes the last 16 shots in a 2.2-second file.These two
modes are handy for capturing various kinds of continuous motion sit-
uations. Use them to analyze your tennis or golf swing, or capture a
baby or pet playing.
