From the Manufacturer
---------------------
The new Ricoh GXR is an interchangeable unit camera system in
which lenses are changed by using a slide-in system to
attach camera units to the body. The lens, image sensor, and
image processing engine are integrated into the camera units so
the body itself does not contain an image sensor.
With world-leading small size and low weight* enabling easy
carrying, the GXR interchangeable unit camera system features a
highly rigid magnesium alloy body and multiple camera units that
can be changed to best fit the scene to be photographed. You can
enjoy easy lens changes as well as amazing image quality and
shooting flexibility. Concealing infinite possibilities in its
small body, the GXR is a revolutionary camera system that
pioneers a new realm of photography.
Distinctive characteristics
1. Lens, image sensor, and image processing engine comprise an
integrated unit which can be changed to match the scene being
photographed.
2. World's smallest and lightest* digital camera with
interchangeable lenses
3. System potential expanded through use of interchangeable
units
*Internal flash, interchangeable lens digital cameras with lens
attached. As of November 10, 2009, Ricoh research.
Ricoh GXR Highlights
Ideal form for an interchangeable lens camera* By integrating
lens, image sensor, and image processing engine into a single
optimized unit, we were able to created a compact camera with
interchangeable lenses.
* The adoption of this new system has made it possible to achieve
both "pocket size for go-anywhere portability" and "the highest
image quality for every photographic situation and subject."
* Since the image sensor is not exposed when lenses are changed,
the camera's structure makes it inherently difficult for dirt and
dust to get inside.
* Putting image processing engines in both the body and the
camera units, our focus was on achieving the highest image
quality.
Elegant design* For the exterior, we utilized die cast magnesium,
which has a strong track record in the GR series, and we covered
the surface with a corrosion-resistant "pear-skin" coating. The
end result is a body with superior levels of durability, light
weight, and feel in hand.
* Building on the operation control designs of the GR series and
GX series, the GXR has several types of customizable buttons as
well as the new DIRECT button, which the photographer can use to
see many current settings at a glance. Sophisticated shooting
settings can now be made faster than ever before.
* The directional pad, the three My Settings, the ADJ.lever, and
the function buttons all contribute to the even greater
operability achieved by the GXR.
* The grip form allows the GXR to be firmly held despite its
small size, and the suitably yielding rubber material on the grip
surface enables the camera to feel like an integral part of the
hand.
Even greater power of expression* The automatic exposure modes
include program shift mode, shutter priority mode, and aperture
priority mode.
* Picture settings can be customized with nine setting levels for
easy creation of a diverse range of images.
* ISO3200 facilitates shooting in low light conditions.
Enhanced rapid shooting capabilities help capture fleeting
shutter chances* The Pre-AF function accelerates focusing speed
by adjusting the focus to match subject movement.
* The full press snap function shoots at a preset distance for a
one-push full-press of the shutter-release button.
* When shooting subjects up close, the camera automatically
switches to macro mode so macro photography can now be enjoyed
without having to worry about sw modes.(Auto macro
setting)
High-definition 3.0-inch 920,000-dot VGA LCD picture display* The
high-resolution LCD picture display provides a wide viewing angle
and high contrast. The screen has a fluorine coat to prevent
soiling, a hard coat to prevent scratches, and an anti-reflection
coat to give excellent visibility even outdoors in bright
sunshine.
* With 100% sRGB coverage for color reproduction, the picture
display vividly reproduces image colors.
Wide range of functions* Tilt indicator utilizing an acceleration
sensor.
* Three grid guides useful for framing images while shooting.
* Image function to enable the quick display of specific
images from among those in the camera. Up to 20 images can be
ged.
* The new DIRECT screen enabling current settings to be displayed
and changed.
New options enhance series expandability* Two soft cases, one for
each camera unit.
* The GXR can use the GR DIGITAL III external flash (GF-1), which
can do TTL flash using auxiliary flash.
* Convenient for shooting in bright outdoor situations, the newly
developed 920,000-dot- equivalent high-definition LCD viewfinder
is removable and can be tilted up to 90 degrees. With a 100%
field of view, it displays information in the same way as the
picture display, thus enabling the photographer to shoot in a
film camera style.
Functions expanded using firmware* Function-enhancing firmware
releases for the GR DIGITAL series have proved very popular, and
this practice will be continued for the GXR. By updating their
firmware, GXR owners will be able to use the latest functions.
