ISO Sensitivity  
ISO sensitivity is a measure of the camera’s sensitivity to light. A greater  
value means higher sensitivity. High sensitivity is suitable for shooting  
an object in a dark place or a fast-moving object while minimizing  
blurring.  
ISO sensitivity is controlled using the [ISO Setting] option in the  
shooting menu (G P.71). When ISO setting is set to [Auto], the camera  
automatically changes the sensitivity according to the distance,  
brightness, zoom, macro settings, and picture quality/size. Choose  
settings other than [Auto] to fix ISO sensitivity at the selected value.  
The upper limit for auto ISO sensitivity can be selected using the  
[Maximum for ISO Auto] (G P.73) in the shooting menu. Note that  
this option may not be available in some shooting modes (G P.104).

• When [Auto] is selected for ISO sensitivity, the ISO value displayed when the  
shutter release button is pressed halfway may in some instances (for example,  
when the flash is used) differ from the value selected when the shutter is  
released.

• Water may seep from the cracks in the cover after the camera has been used  
in the rain or washed. This however does not indicate a leak, as the camera is  
protected by a double casing.  
• The internal mechanisms of the camera are neither waterproof nor dust-  
proof.  
• Should water enter the inside of the camera, remove the batteries  
immediately and contact the Ricoh Repair Center.  
Cautions on Use  
• When opening and closing the battery/card cover or terminal cover, take  
care to prevent any water, sand, mud, dust, or other foreign matter that may  
have adhered to the camera from entering the interior of device. If possible,  
avoid opening or closing the camera at the seaside or near other bodies of  
water or on a beach or in other sandy locations.  
• Water may adhere to the inside of the covers while they are open. Dry the  
inside of the covers before use.  
• Do not leave the camera in places where there are extremes of temperature  
or humidity, such as in a closed car, at the seashore, or in a bathroom.  
• If any foreign object (metal, water, liquid) gets inside the camera, stop  
using the camera immediately. Turn the power off, remove the battery and  
memory card, and consult your nearest dealer or Ricoh Repair Center.  
• Before using the camera, confirm that the battery and memory card are fully  
inserted and latched.  
• This product was manufactured for use in the country in which it was  
purchased. The warranty is only valid in the country in which the camera was  
purchased.  
• Should the product fail or malfunction while you are abroad, the  
manufacturer assumes no responsibility for servicing the product locally or  
bearing the expenditure incurred therefore.  
10  
• Be sure not to drop or apply any sudden force to the camera.  
• While you are carrying the camera, be careful not to hit it against other  
objects. Take special care to not hit the lens and picture display.  
• Firing the flash consecutively may heat the firing unit. Do not fire it  
consecutively more than necessary.

• Do not touch the flash and keep foreign objects away from the firing unit.  
Doing so can cause burns and fires.  
• Do not fire the flash near eyes. It could cause visual impairment (particularly  
for infants).  
• Do not fire the flash near the driver of a vehicle to avoid causing accidents.  
• The battery may become hot after extended use. Touching the battery  
immediately after use could result in burns to your fingers.  
• If the picture display or panel is exposed to sunlight, they may become  
washed out and images may become hard to view.  
• The picture display and panel may contain some pixels that do not remain  
lit up continually in part or at all. Also, the brightness may become uneven  
because of the characteristics of LCDs. These are not failures.  
• Do not forcefully press the surface of the picture display.  
• In an environment where the temperature changes suddenly, condensation  
may occur in the camera, resulting in troubles such as fogging of the glass  
surface or malfunctions of the camera. If this occurs, place the camera in a  
bag to slow the temperature change as much as possible. Take it out of the  
bag after the temperature difference from the atmosphere has decreased  
to a fairly small amount. If condensation occurs, remove the battery and  
memory card, and wait until the moisture has dried before using the camera.  
• To avoid damaging the connectors, do not put any objects into the camera’s  
microphone or speaker holes.  
• Before taking any important pictures (such as at weddings, on trips abroad,  
etc.), test the camera to check operation and ensure proper functioning. We  
recommend that you keep this manual and spare battery on hand.  
Conditions in which condensation may easily occur: -----------------------  
When the camera is moved to an environment where the temperature differs greatly.  
• In humid places.  
• In a room immediately after being heated, or when the camera is exposed  
directly to cooled air from an air-conditioner or another similar appliance.

Rechargeable Battery  
• The battery is not waterproof. Keep dry.  
• The DB-100 is a lithium-ion battery.  
• Charge the battery before use since the battery is not fully charged when it is  
shipped.  
• The characteristics of lithium batteries are such that, at cold temperatures,  
the performance of even fully charged cells will decrease, reducing the  
available shooting or playback time. Counter this by keeping the batteries  
warm in a pocket next to your body before use or by having a spare charged  
battery available.  
• Remove the battery from the camera and charger when not in use. These  
devices consume a small amount of power even when off and may draw  
the battery down to the point that it can no longer be used. Note that the  
camera clock will be reset after the battery has been removed for about a  
week. Reset the clock before use.  
• When storing for an extended period of time, charge for 30 minutes at least  
once a year, draining it complete before storing it again.  
• Store the battery in a cool, dry place. A temperature range of 15°C to 25°C is  
optimal. Avoid extremely hot or cold locations.  
• Do not immediately charge a fully recharged battery a second time.  
• Charge the battery at ambient temperatures between 10°C and 40°C.  
Performance may drop at higher temperatures, while at lower temperatures  
capacity may drop.  
• Batteries that no longer hold a charge have reached the end of their service  
life and must be replaced.  
• At 25°C, the battery charges in about 160 minutes when the supplied AC-U1  
USB power adapter is used, or in about 180 minutes when charged using an  
optional BJ-10 battery charger.

Care and Storage  
Care  
• Please note that if fingerprints, dirt, etc. get onto the lens, picture quality will  
suffer.  
• When dust or dirt does get on the lens, do not touch it directly with your  
fingers, and either use a blower (available in stores) to blow it off, or a soft  
cloth to gently dust it off. Special care should be taken for the lens barrel.  
• To remove salt, sand, or other foreign matter, confirm that the battery/card  
cover is securely closed and rinse the camera in a bowl or wash-basin filled  
with tap water. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the camera dry. Be sure to clean  
the camera in fresh water following underwater use; failure to observe this  
precaution could impair the product’s water resistance.  
• Any sand or other foreign matter should be removed from the rubber seal  
with a dry, soft cloth. Foreign matter can damage the seal, impairing water  
resistance. If the foreign matter can not be removed or the seal is damaged,  
request replacement from a Ricoh repair center.  
• To ensure continued water resistance, it is recommended that the rubber  
seal be replaced once every two years whether it is damaged or not. Replace  
the seal once a year if you regularly use the camera underwater or in  
locations exposed to sand or dust.  
• In the unlikely event that your camera fails to work properly, please consult  
your Ricoh Repair Center.  
• There are high voltage circuits in this camera. As this is dangerous, do not  
dismantle this camera under any circumstances.  
• Do not get volatile substances, such as thinner, benzene, or pesticides on  
your camera. This may cause a change in quality, paint to peel, etc.  
• As the surface of the picture display is easily scratched, do not rub hard  
objects against it.  
• Clean the surface of the picture display by wiping gently with a soft cloth  
containing a small amount of display cleaner (that does not contain organic  
solvents) sold in stores.

Use and Storage  
• Please avoid using or storing your camera in the following kinds of places, as  
this may damage the camera.  
- In high heat and humidity, or where there is severe change in temperature  
or humidity.  
- Places with a lot of dust, dirt or sand.  
- Places with severe vibration.  
- Places where it is in direct contact with vinyl or rubber products or chemicals,  
including mothballs or other insect repellent, for long periods of time.  
- Places with strong magnetic fields (near a monitor, transformer, magnet, etc.).  
• Store your camera in a dust-free camera bag, etc. to prevent dust or dirt from  
getting on the camera. Also, avoid carrying the camera without a case (in  
your pocket, etc.) to help to keep free from dust or fiber particles.  
• Remove the battery if you are not going to use the camera for a long period  
of time.  
Precautions regarding care of your camera
