Ricoh has taken digital photography to a new level with the new 3.24-megapixel Caplio G4wide. This technologically impressive camera boasts both a newly developed compact lens and exceptional speed. |
| The Caplio G4wide’s 3x zoom lens ranges from 28mm to 85mm (equivalent on a 35mm camera). A unique lens arrangement and use of highly refractive low-dispersion, aspherical lenses, allows it to perform at the level of conventional 35mm film cameras, a significant step in the evolution of the digital camera. | | Speed is another area in which the Caplio G4wide distinguishes itself. With a shutter response time of just 0.14 seconds, it exceeds the speed of a conventional 35mm camera. Indeed, the Caplio G4wide’s shutter response time is the world’s fastest in its class*. | | Start-up time is also blazing fasta mere 1.8 seconds. The camera’s quick response times assure that the photographer can capture the desired shot with a minimum of delay. | | An adjust button allows the user to easily adjust exposure, white balance, and ISO without going into Menu. Moreover, the imaging software provided makes instant image transfers from the Caplio G4wide to USB-equipped personal computers fast and easy. | | To power the camera, users have the choice of an optional long-lasting lithium-ion battery that enables hundreds of shots to be taken between charges, two convenient AA alkaline or nickel metal hydride batteries, or an AC adapter. | | Six practical scene modes are available: portrait, sports, landscape, night scene, text, and high-sensitivity. In the latter mode, the screen automatically illuminates subjects to aid in framing the picture in under-lit environments. |
