First Steps

Prepare the camera for use.

Charging the Battery

The rechargeable battery supplied with the camera is not

charged at shipment. Charge the battery in the supplied

BJ-6 battery charger before use.

Place the battery in the charger.

1 _{Place the battery label up}

with the “+” and “–” labels ori-

ented to match the labels on

the charger.

Caution

Be sure the battery is in the correct

orientation.

Plug the charger in.

2 _{The charger lamp will light}

while the battery charges.

An exhausted battery will re-

charge in about two hours at

25°C.

Note

If the charger lamp blinks, a battery or charger fault may have

occurred. Unplug the charger and remove the battery.

Remove the battery.

3 _{Charging is complete when the charger lamp turns}

off. Unplug the charger and remove the battery.

Compatible Batteries

The camera can be used with a DB-65 rechargeable Li-ion

battery (supplied; DB-60 rechargeable batteries can also

be used) or with a pair of AAA alkaline or rechargeable

nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.

Tip: Battery Capacity

Under normal conditions, about 370 shots can be taken with a ful-

ly-charged DB-65 battery. About 25 shots can be taken with a pair

of fresh AAA alkaline batteries manufactured by Panasonic. These

figures are based on tests conducted according to CIPA standards

under the following conditions: temperature 23°C (73°F); picture

display on; 10 shots taken with 30 seconds between shots and the

flash fired with every other shot; and the cycle repeated after the

camera has been turned off and then on again.

Cautions

• Rechargeable Li-ion batteries: Use only genuine DB-65 or DB-60 bat-

teries. Do not use batteries not specifically designated by Ricoh

for use in this camera.

• Alkaline batteries: Battery life varies with make and storage condi-

tions. Capacity drops at low temperatures.

• NiMH batteries: NiMH batteries are not charged at purchase and

gradually lose their charge over time. Charge before use. Note

that performance may be impaired immediately after purchase

or following an extended period of disuse, and that the batteries

may need to be used and recharged two or three times before

they will hold a charge.

• Manganese and Ni-Cd batteries can not be used.

• Batteries may be hot immediately after use. Before removing

batteries, turn the camera off and wait for them to cool down.

• Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for extended

periods.

Inserting Memory Cards

Pictures can be stored in the camera’s 88MB internal

memory, or optional SD and SDHC memory cards can

be used to store additional pictures. Internal memory is

used for recording and playback if no card is inserted; if a

card is inserted, the card will be used instead.

Before inserting or removing a memory card, be sure the

camera is off. To insert a memory card:

Open the battery/card cover.

Unlatch (q) and open (w)

the cover.

Insert the card.

2 _{Holding the memory card in}

in until it clicks into place.

Close the battery/card cover.

Close (q) and latch (w) the

Removing Memory Cards

Unlatch and open the battery/card cover and press the

memory card in to eject it. The card can then be removed

by hand.

_{Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download}1_.3

Cautions

• Pictures will not be recorded to internal memory when a memo-

ry card is inserted, even if the memory card is full.

• Keep the memory card contacts clean.

Tip: Write Protection

Memory cards can be protected by slid-

ing the write-protection switch to“LOCK,”

keeping data from being written to or

deleted from the card and preventing

the card from being formatted.

Pictures can not be taken when the memory card is locked; lock

the card only to prevent accidental loss of data and be sure to un-

lock the card before shooting.

Notes

• Format memory cards before first use or after they have been

used in a computer or other device (page 124). Be sure to back

up any important data before formatting.

• See page 161 for information on memory card capacity.

• Pictures can be copied to memory cards from internal memory

(page 97).

The camera may be unable to focus on the following:

• Objects that lack contrast, such as the sky, a wall that is only one

color, or the hood of a car

• Flat objects containing only horizontal lines

• Fast-moving objects

• Objects that are poorly lit

• Objects with bright reflections or backlighting

• Flickering objects, such as fluorescent lights

• Point light sources, such as light bulbs, spotlights, or LEDs

Note that one or more focus frames may be displayed in green if

the camera is unable to focus with the above subjects; check focus

in the picture display before shooting. If the camera is unable to

focus, lock focus on another object at the same distance from the

camera as your subject, then recompose the photograph and take

the picture (page 21).

_{Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download}1_.9

Tip: Avoiding Blurred Pictures

To prevent blurring caused by the camera moving when the shut-

ter is released (“camera shake”), press the shutter-release button

smoothly and gently. Blurring is particularly likely to occur if:

• The flash is off and lighting is poor, or

• The camera is zoomed in (page 22)

In situations in which photographs are especially prone to blur-

ring caused by camera shake, a J icon will be displayed in the

picture display. Hold the camera steady and try focusing again, or

attempt one of the following remedies:

• Turning the flash on ( ) or using auto flash ( ; see page 24)

• Choosing a higher ISO (page 84)

• Using the self-timer (page 26)

Notes

• If the flash will fire when the picture is taken, a pre-flash will be

emitted to assist focus and exposure.

• You can choose how long pictures are displayed in the picture

display after shooting. If desired, photographs can be displayed

until the shutter-release button is pressed halfway (page 126).

• In 5 mode, a built-in neutral density (ND) filter is used for be-

tween f/8.0 and f/11. The smallest aperture available in 5 mode

is f/11.

Focus Lock

Use focus lock to compose photographs in which the

subject is not in the center of the frame. Focus lock can

also be used if the camera is unable to focus (page 18).

Focus.

1 _{Position your subject in the center of the picture dis-}

play and press the shutter-release button halfway to

Recompose the photograph.

2 _{Keeping the shutter-release button pressed halfway}

to lock focus, recompose the photograph.

Tip: Highlights

The flashing portions of the highlights display mark “washed out”

areas in which details may have been lost to overexposure. Check

highlights after shooting in direct sunlight or in other conditions

in which parts of the image may be overexposed. If it seems im-

portant details may have been lost, choose a lower exposure com-

pensation value and shoot again (page 77). Note that the display

is intended only as a guide and may not be entirely accurate.

_{Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download}3_.7

Tip: The Histogram

The histogram is a graph showing the distribution of pixels of dif-

ferent brightness in the image. Brightness is plotted on the hori-

zontal axis, with shadows at the left and highlights at the right.

The vertical axis gives the number of pixels. The histogram can be

used to assess exposure and check for loss of detail in highlights

and shadows without the brightness of your surroundings affect-

ing your judgement. A histogram in which pixels are clustered on

the right indicates that the image may be overexposed, while a

histogram in which pixels are clustered on the left indicates that

the image may be underexposed.

Overexposed

Underexposed

If the image appears to be incorrectly exposed, you may be able

to use exposure compensation to correct exposure in subsequent

photographs of the same subject (page 77; note that exposure

compensation may be insufficient to produce the correct expo-

sure in some cases). The histogram can also be used as a guide

when adjusting contrast in photographs after shooting (pages

101, 102).

The histogram is intended as a guide only and may not be com-

pletely accurate, particularly in cases in which the flash is used or

ambient lighting is poor.

Notes

• If Auto or Auto-Hi is selected for ISO Setting (page 84), ISO will

be fixed at 100 while the camera is in manual exposure mode.

• Choose slower shutter speeds for longer exposure times. To re-

duce blur caused by camera shake, hold the camera steadily in

both hands or use a tripod. The picture display turns off while

the shutter is open. At speeds of 10 s or slower, the camera auto-

matically processes photographs to remove noise, increasing the

time needed to record images to about twice the shutter speed.

• Autoexposure (AE) lock is not available in manual exposure

mode. If AE Lock is selected for Set Fn1 Button or Set Fn2 But-

ton in the setup menu, pressing the affected button in manual

exposure mode will set shutter speed or aperture to a value

close to that needed for optimal exposure. Similarly, if Exposure

Comp. is selected for Zoom Button in the setup menu, pressing

the 8 and 9 buttons will not display exposure compensation

options in manual exposure mode, but will instead set shutter

speed or aperture to a value close to that needed for optimal ex-

posure. This is useful when you want to use optimal exposure as

a starting point for modifying exposure. The One Press M Mode

option in the setup menu determines whether shutter speed or

aperture is altered to achieve optimal exposure.

4 Mode: Dynamic Range Double Shot

Each time the shutter-release but-

ton is pressed, the camera takes

two shots at different exposures,

then combines the areas that are

correctly exposed to create a single composite image

with natural contrast, reducing loss of detail in highlights

and shadows. Use to photograph scenes that contain

both sunlight and shade or other high-contrast subjects.

Cautions

• The flash turns off, digital zoom can not be used, and RAW op-

tions can not be selected for Picture Quality/Size (page 57).

• The desired effect may not be achieved if the scene is too bright

or too dark.

• Moving subjects may be blurred.

• Flicker from fluorescent lights may affect colors and brightness.

Tip: Dynamic Range

“Dynamic range”refers to the range of tones that can be expressed

by the camera, which is narrower than that visible to the naked eye.

In high-contrast scenes, this may result in loss of detail in high-

lights and shadows. Dynamic range double shot creates a smooth

transition from highlights to shadows for natural contrast.

Mount the camera on a tripod.

Note

Dynamic range double shot requires more time to create an

exposure than other modes, and an J icon is displayed to

show that photos may be blurred. Use a tripod. Note that

the camera may move when the shutter-release button is

pressed, even if mounted on a tripod. This can be prevented

by using the self-timer (page 26) or an optional CA-1 cable

switch wired remote shutter release.

4 Mode: Skew Correct

To take pictures in skew correct mode, frame the subject

so that it occupies as much of the frame as possible and

press the shutter-release button to take the photograph.

If the camera is able to detect an object that can be used

to correct perspective, a message will be displayed with

the object shown by an orange frame. The camera can

detect up to five objects; to select a different object, press

$, or press ! to record the photograph without correct-

ing perspective. If the camera is unable to detect a suit-

able subject, an error message will be displayed and the

photograph will be recorded without modification.

Caution: Skew Correct Mode

The camera records two images each time the shutter is released:

the unmodified photograph and a copy that has been processed

to correct perspective. No photograph will be taken if memory is

insufficient to record two images. The camera may be unable to

correct perspective if:

Tip: Picture Quality

The camera supports the following picture qualities:

• Normal: JPEG compression is used to reduce file size.

• Fine: Compression is reduced for improved quality. File size in-

creases, reducing number of photos that can be recorded.

• RAW: Raw image data are saved in DNG format; JPEG copies are

also created. The camera displays only the JPEG copy; DNG files

can be viewed and edited on a computer using the supplied

Irodio Photo & Video Studio Software (Windows only) or com-

mercially-available applications that support the DNG format.

Unlike normal- and fine-quality images, RAW images are not com-

pressed. This increases file size but avoids the loss of quality associ-

ated with JPEG compression. Note the following when shooting

RAW images:

• Some settings can not be used, as detailed in the section for the

affected setting. Image Settings and Date Imprint options ap-

ply only to JPEG copies and have no effect on the DNG images.

• The size and quality of the JPEG copies recorded with DNG im-

ages can be selected using the RAW/JPEG Setting option in the

setup menu (page 131).

• The number of RAW photographs that can be taken in a single

burst in continuous mode varies with the option selected for

Noise Reduction (page 74). Up to five photographs can be

taken when noise reduction is disabled; when noise reduction is

enabled, this number drops to four.

Focus

Choose how the camera focuses. By default, the camera

uses autofocus; other options are listed below.

Option

Multi AF

Spot AF

Description

The camera selects the focus area with the closest

subject, preventing out-of-focus shots by keeping

the camera from focusing on the background.

Focus on the subject in the center of the frame.

Focus manually (page 60).

(manual focus)

Focus is fixed at distance selected with Snap Focus

Distance (page 64) for quick shutter response.

Snap

Fix the focus distance at infinity when photograph-

ing distant scenes.

∞ (infinity)

In the case of MF, Snap, and ∞, the

current selection is shown by an

icon in the picture display.

Tip: Depth of Field

Depth of field is the distance in front of and behind the focus point

that appears to be in focus. Small apertures (high f-numbers) in-

crease depth of field, bringing more of the scene into focus; large

apertures (low f-numbers) decrease depth of field, emphasizing

the main subject by blurring the foreground and background. At

settings of MF, Snap, and ∞, the focus

bar shows depth of field in shooting

modes M, A, and P (in mode P, depth of

field is only shown when the shutter-

release button is pressed halfway and

aperture values are displayed).

Option

Off

Description

The camera focuses normally.

If the shutter-release is pressed all the way down in one mo-

tion, the camera will take a picture at the focus distance se-

lected for Snap Focus Distance. Choose when quick shutter

response is required.

As for On, except that ISO sensitivity is automatically set to

(Auto-Hi ISO) Auto-Hi (page 84).

Tip: Autofocus

The camera will focus normally if you pause with the shutter-re-

lease button pressed halfway.

Cautions

• Full press snap is not available in macro mode or when MF, Snap,

or ∞ is selected for Focus.

• Care is required to avoid blur caused by camera movement.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Pre-AF

If On is selected when Multi AF or Spot AF is selected for

Focus (page 59), the camera will continue to focus even

when the shutter-release button is not pressed halfway

(the focus range, however, is narrower than for normal fo-

cus). This may decrease the time needed to focus when a

picture is taken, potentially improving shutter response.

Cautions

• Pre-AF is not available when MF, Snap, or ∞ is selected for Fo-

cus.

• Using pre-AF increases the drain on the battery.

Exposure Metering

White Balance

At the default setting of Multi-P AUTO, the camera au-

tomatically adjusts white balance so that a white sub-

ject will appear white regardless of the color of the light

source. It may however be necessary to match white bal-

ance to the light source under mixed lighting or when

photographing a subject that is a solid color.

Option

Description

The camera adjusts white balance automatically.

The camera adjusts white balance to account for dif-

Multi-P AUTO ferences in lighting in separate areas of the frame (in

continuous mode, this option is equivalent to Auto).

ISO Setting

Adjust the camera’s sensitivity to light. Higher values

can be used for faster shutter speeds when the subject is

poorly lit, preventing blur.

• Auto: The camera automatically adjusts sensitivity ac-

cording to brightness, the distance to the subject, and

the options selected for macro mode and picture qual-

ity and size.

• Auto-Hi (high sensitivity auto): As above, except that the cam-

era selects higher sensitivities when the subject is poor-

ly lit. The maximum sensitivity can be selected in the

setup menu (page 125).

• ISO 64–ISO 1600: Sensitivity is set to the selected value.

The current sensitivity is shown

in the picture display (if Auto or

Auto-Hi is selected, the sensitiv-

ity selected by the camera is shown when the shutter-re-

lease button is pressed halfway).

Tips: Choosing the Black Point, White Point, and Mid-Point

• Adjusting brightness: To make the image

brighter, move the mid-point to the

right. Moving the mid-point to the left

makes the image darker.

• Correcting exposure: If the image is over-

exposed, move the black point to the

right until it lines up with the darkest

pixel in the histogram (see right). If

the image is underexposed, move the

white point to the left until it lines up

with the brightest pixel. You can then

move the mid-point left or right to ad-

just brightness.

Correcting overexposure

• Increasing contrast: To increase contrast,

align the black point and white point

with the darkest and brightest pixels

as shown at right. You can then move

the mid-point left or right to adjust

brightness.

Cautions

• Level correction is available only with still images taken with this

camera. It is not available with movies or pictures taken using S-

Cont or M-Cont. The desired results may not be achieved with

monochrome images or photographs taken in text mode.

• Although level correction can be applied multiple times, the

compression applied every time a copy is saved will result in a

drop in image quality.

Photoshop and other image editing software. Note, however, that

colors will only be reproduced correctly in software that supports

the Adobe RGB color space. Note too that specialized equip-

ment is required to print the full range of colors in the Adobe RGB

gamut; when printed using consumer household printers or digi-

tal photo print services, colors will generally be less vivid than in

photographs that use the sRGB color space.

Card Sequence No.

Choose how the camera names image files when saving

photographs to a memory card.

• On: Files names consist of “R” followed by a seven-digit

number (e.g., “R0010001.jpg”), assigned in ascending

order from 0010001 to 9999999. When a new memory

card is inserted, file numbering continues from the last

number used.

• Off: Files names consist of “RIMG” followed by a four-

digit number (e.g.,“RIMG0001.jpg”), assigned in ascend-

ing order from 0001 to 9999. When a new memory card

is inserted, file numbering is reset to 0001.

Notes

• This option applies only to memory cards. The names of photos

in internal memory consist of“RIMG”and a four-digit number.

• Photos copied to a computer using DL-10 (page 136) are given

new names consisting of“RIMG”and a four-digit number.

• Photos taken with AdobeRGB selected for Color Space Setting

(page 132) are indicated by file names beginning with an under-

score (e.g., “_R010001.jpg”or“_RIMG001.jpg”).

Caution

When On is selected, no further photographs can be stored if the

memory card contains a folder numbered 999 and a file name

ending in 9999; when Off is selected, no further photographs can

be stored if the memory card contains a file numbered 9999. To

take additional photos, format the card after copying its contents

to a computer.

camera off and then remove and reattach flash.

Cautions

• Blur may occur at slow shutter speeds.

• Do not use the built-in flash when the GF-1 is attached. Failure to

observe this precaution could cause injury or damage the prod-

uct.

_{Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download}1_.67

Other Flash Units

Use only flash units with one signal terminal, which must

be an X-contact with a positive voltage of no more than

20V. Use a flash that covers the angle of view of the lens.

Close the flash cover (page 25).

Attach the flash.

2 _{Turn the camera and the optional flash unit off and}

attach the flash to the camera hot shoe.

Set aperture manually.

3 _{Turn the camera on, select mode A or M, and choose}

an aperture (pages 14, 43, 44).

Choose a manual ISO sensitivity setting.

4 _{Select an option other than Auto for ISO sensitivity}

(page 84).

Turn the flash on.

5 _{Turn the flash on and set it to auto mode. Set aper-}

ture and ISO sensitivity to the values selected with

the camera. Take a test shot and adjust flash aper-

ture and ISO settings as necessary.

Turn the optional flash unit off before removing it from

the camera.

Cautions

• If the external flash is on, it will fire with every shot regardless to

the flash mode selected with the camera. Turn the flash unit off

to shoot without the flash.

• Optional flash units are in principle for use at ranges that exceed

the range of the built-in flash. Using an optional flash unit at

shorter ranges may result in overexposure.

for connection to the type of outlets used at your desti-

nation. Do not use these products with electrical trans-

formers, as this could damage the camera.

Warranty

This product was manufactured for use in the country of

purchase, and the warranty is not valid in other countries.

Should the product fail or malfunction while out of the

country, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for

servicing the product locally or bearing any expenditure

incurred thereby.

Television Playback

The supplied A/V cable can be used to connect the cam-

era to televisions and monitors equipped with a video

input terminal. The camera supports the NTSC and PAL

video formats; before connecting the camera to a video

device, select the appropriate video output mode.

Precautions for Use

• This product was manufactured for use in the country of pur-

chase; the warranty is not valid in other countries. Should the

product fail or malfunction while out of the country, the manu-

facturer assumes no responsibility for servicing the product lo-

cally or bearing any expenditure incurred thereby.

• Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shocks. When

carrying the camera, be careful that it does not strike other objects.

Particular care is required to protect the lens and picture display.

_{Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download}1_.69

• The flash may overheat if fired many times in succession. Do not

use the flash more than necessary. Do not use the flash in close

contact with your body or other objects. Failure to observe these

precautions could result in burns or fire.

• Using the flash unit in close proximity to your subject’s eyes

could cause temporary visual impairment. Particular care should

be observed when photographing infants. Do not direct the

flash at the operator of a motor vehicle.

• Batteries may become hot with extended use. Wait for batteries

to cool before removing them from the camera.

• The picture display may be difficult to read in direct sunlight.

• You may notice that picture display varies in brightness or con-

tains pixels that do not light or that are always lit. This is common

to all LCD monitors and does not indicate a malfunction.

• Do not apply force to the picture display.

• Abrupt changes in temperature may cause condensation, result-

ing in visible condensation inside the lens or camera malfunction.

This can be avoided by placing the camera in a plastic bag to slow

the temperature change, and removing it only after the air in the

bag has reached the same temperature its surroundings.

• To prevent damage to the product, do not insert objects into the

holes in the microphone and speaker coverings.

• Keep the camera dry and avoid handling it with wet hands. Fail-

ure to observe these precautions could result in product mal-

function or electric shock.

• Take a test shot to ensure that the camera is functioning properly

before using it on important occasions such as travel or wed-

dings. We recommend that you keep this manual and spare bat-

teries at hand.

Tip: Avoiding Condensation

Condensation is particularly likely to occur if you move to an area

with a sharply different temperature, if humidity is high, in a cold

room after the heater has come on, or where the camera is ex-

posed to cold air from an air conditioner or other device.
