The new R8 is the successor model to the Caplio R7 (launched September 14, 2007), which also had
a slim body and 7.1x optical wide-angle zoom lens (28–200 mm in 35 mm focal length). By combining
a new 10 megapixel CCD with the earlier model‘s popular Smooth Imaging Engine III image processing
engine, the R8 takes high-defi nition photography to a higher level.
The R8 also offers various other enhanced capabilities for fun and easy photography, such as a large 2.7-inch, 460,000-pixel HVGA LCD and the same 1:1 aspect square format photography function that has proven extremely popular on Ricoh‘s Caplio GX100 (launched April 2007) and GR DIGITAL II (launched November 2007) models.
In addition to the specifi cation improvements, the R8 has also undergone a complete redesign. This new model combines ease of use and technical specifi cation in a body that is contemporary and stylish and has been designed based on a concept “A tool you want to use every day.” In creating the R8 as a tool for taking photographs, great care has been given not only to styling and coloring but also to its operability, portability, comfort in hand, and its solid, high-quality feel.
1. High-picture quality, low-noise photography is achieved with the high-resolution 10 megapixel CCD and the Smooth Imaging Engine III image processing engine.
• An effective 10 megapixel CCD has been newly installed. Working together with the popular image
processing engine Smooth Imaging Engine III, this new CCD makes possible high-quality images
that have both high-resolution and low noise.
2. High-resolution 2.7-inch, 460,000-pixel HVGA LCD
• The new 2.7-inch, 460,000-pixel high-resolution LCD has a wide viewing angle and high contrast
for distinct, easy viewing even outdoors. When thumbnail images are displayed, even the small
1/20 size images are clearly reproduced.
3. Based on the „A tool you will want to use every day“ concept, the R8 has been given a totally new design emphasizing its beauty as a tool.
• Styling that intensifi es a simple, functional beauty and eliminates design frills. A rubber grip that fi ts
well in the hand and is easy to hold. An easy-to-operate mode dial. The many features of the R8
combine to achieve both functional beauty and ease of use.
• In addition to its compact pocket size, the mounting of two strap eyelets has further increased portability.
• The R8‘s solid, high-quality feel has been further enhanced by the top cover emphasizing a solid, metal feel; the lens barrel end and rings fi nished with metal spin processing, and the spin processed mode dial and release button.
4. Ricoh‘s original double retracting lens system has made it possible to equip the R8 with a
7.1x wide-angle zoom lens in a compact body with both operability and portability.
• Measuring only 22.6 mm at the thinnest point, the slim body features a 7.1x wide-angle zoom lens
with a 28–200 mm range.
5. Expanded shooting functions for richly expressive photographs.
(1) Square format photography
• The R8 has a shooting function for an image size aspect ratio of 1:1. This square format photography has proved very popular on Ricoh‘s Caplio GX100 (launched April 2007) and GR DIGITALII (launched November 22, 2007) models. The resulting composition has quite a different feel from the standard rectangular vertical or horizontal format. This format can also be quite convenient for blog photographs.
(2) Expanded functionality for the ADJ. (Adjust) button
• Already given enhanced usability in the Caplio R7 (launched September 2007), the ADJ. (Adjust)
button has further evolved in the R8. Integrating the ADJ. (Adjust) button functions with those previously controlled by the cross-key has made menu operations even faster and simpler.
(3) Fix minimum aperture function provided
• When the fi x minimum aperture function is on, shooting is done at the smallest aperture, which
gives a deep depth of fi eld in the resulting photograph.
(4) AF/AE Target shift functions provided
• Enhanced capabilities have been given to the AF target shift function which was previously only
available for macro photography. While shooting, it is possible to shift the target for AF or AE or
both without moving the camera.
(5) Zoom lever usability improved
• With zoom lever operation it is possible to switch between two zoom speeds. This enables the full capabilities of the 28–200 mm 7.1x wide-angle zoom lens to be utilized.
