Ricoh GXR User manual

Interchangeable unit camera system
With each slide & change,
a new world of expression

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.

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 photog-
rapher can handle a diverse shooting
range in a way that satisfies sophisti-
cated requirements for photo expres-
sion. The slide mechanism for attachment/
removal enables smooth camera units
changes.
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 not necessary to expose the
inside of the camera when changing
lenses. In addition, the inside of the
units are highly airtight with light-
shielded walls. Even in highly
dusty shooting environments,
camera units can be changed with-
out hesitation.
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 com-
pactness 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. This practical inspiration has
given birth to a totally new camera system with portability, high image
quality and superb expandability and growth potential as a system.

future potential. When compromise is not an option, this is the camera system you get.
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. Con-
sider, 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.
For their exterior covers, both
the body and the camera units
utilize a light and strong mag-
nesium alloy with superior
precision-molding, heat-
dissipation, and magnetic-
shielding characteristics. Dura-
bility and high-class impres-
sion are further enhanced by a
high-class, non-slip "pear-skin"
baked finish with strong corro-
sion and wear resistance.
Designs optimized to make the most of lens and image sensor
capabilities
The exterior itself is a functional aspect of the camera.
Magnesium alloy cover
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 compo-
nents, and the pressure-welded springs
give an appropriate sliding feel and quiet-
ness. The reliability of both the mechani-
cal and electrical connections has been
verified in high-stress attachment/removal
testing of the slide mechanism.
Slide mechanism for high precision and reliability

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 practi-
cal 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.
The CMOS sensor boasts 23.6 mm × 15.7 mm size for rich bokeh and approxi-
mately 12.30 million effective pixels for superior resolution. Supporting the excep-
tional optical performance of the GR LENS, this image sensor enables the photog-
rapher 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.
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.
Enjoy shooting HD movies. Image size is 1280×720, aspect ratio 16:9, and frame
rate 24 frames/sec. Utilizing the high sensitivity (maximum ISO 3200) and the
beautiful bokeh made possible by the F2.5 aperture and the large image sensor, it
is possible to create impressive movies with a different feel than those of standard
video cameras. The GXR body has an HDMI connector so for large-screen movie
viewing it can be connected to TVs supporting HDMI.
*HDMI cable sold separately.
Paired with a 23.6 mm×15.7 mm image sensor,
this GR LENS is a standard macro boasting superb definition and refined bokeh.

RICOH LENS S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC, 1/25sec, f/2.5, ISO400, WB: MANUAL, no trimming

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 high-
resolution 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 deliv-
ered to the photographer.
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.
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 sensi-
tivity 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.
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 sensi-
tivity auto), which can be set as high as ISO3200.

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.
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.
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.
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.
The camera shoots continuously while the shutter-release button is pressed, and
when you remove your finger, it records multiple still images shot just before that
instant. For the setting, you can select HI, which gives priority to shooting speed
(shooting 30 images in one second), or LO, which gives priority to resolution
(shooting 15 images).
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.

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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). The tilt
capability is convenient for low-angle shooting. (Case
included)
This is a convenient accessory for shooting at a wider wide-angle and for
achieving a more extreme sense of distance. Magnification is 0.79x, and used at the
maximum wide-angle setting it enables 19 mm ultra-wide-angle photography.
Optimized for the optical system of the camera unit, the DW-6 consists of three
glass lenses.
This magnification 1.88x teleconversion lens extends the focal length of the
camera unit lens, reaching 135 mm at maximum telephoto. Of course, a
telephoto lens will bring far away subjects closer, but the photographer can also
enjoy a variety of other effects, such as isolating one small area from the overall
field of view, creating dramatic scenes, and imposing order on the image
composition.
The cable switch is effective for scenes where hand-motion blur tends to occur and
also for long exposures when using a tripod for nightscapes or macro shooting. It
can do both half-press and full-press operations. Easy to use total length of approx.
65 cm (from grip end to connector end).
