Tips to Extend the Recording and Playback  
Times  
Tips  
• The battery lives indicated on the previous page may decrease  
depending on the ambient environment.  
In an extremely cold environment, warming the battery by hand, for  
example, may allow you to take more pictures.  
• Increased use of the flash or zoom feature or the LCD monitor may  
speed up the exhaustion of the battery. Reduce their usage to a  
minimum.  
1
• Copying or erasing images repeatedly may also accelerate the  
exhaustion of the battery.  
• Taking pictures with the LCD monitor display turned off will help to  
extend the life of the battery.  
■ Handling Precautions  
• Before using the battery, be sure to read the accompanying operation  
manual.  
• Use the specified battery. → P.137 “Accessories”  
• Wipe the terminals of the battery and the contacts of the camera with a dry  
cloth.  
• Continued use of the battery for long periods may cause the battery to  
become hot. Wait until it cools before removing it.  
• Store the battery charger and the battery separately except when charging.  
• Store the battery in the case provided.  
• When not using the camera for a long period of time, discharge the battery  
completely before removing it, and store it in a cool place. Before using the  
camera again, fully charge the battery.  
• If a power source is available nearby, you can economize on the  
battery by using an AC adapter (optional). → P.18 “Connecting an AC  
Adapter”  
Note  
• You are advised to have a spare battery available when powering the  
camera from the battery alone.

Connecting an AC Adapter  
When using the camera for extended periods of time to shoot or playback  
images, or connecting with a PC, connect an AC adapter (optional) to the  
camera and power the camera from a household electrical source.  
Using the AC Adapter  
Before using the AC adapter, be sure to read the safety precautions in the  
accompanying manual.  
A Check that the camera is turned off, and connect the AC adapter  
connection cable to the power supply terminal (DC input) on the  
camera.  
• P.24 “Turning On/Off the Camera”  
See  
B Insert the power plug into the electrical outlet.  
• If the battery is loaded in the camera while it is connected to a

Changing Flash Modes  
There are four flash modes available with this camera. Switch the flash mode to  
meet your photographic needs.  
Display  
Mode  
Explanation  
Flash Off  
The flash will not fire, even in dark places. Use  
this mode in places where flash photography is  
prohibited and in bright indoor settings.  
Auto  
The flash will fire automatically in dark places  
and where there is backlighting.  
Forced Flash  
Backlighting and strong light can produce dark  
shadows on the faces of the subjects. Use this  
mode in such situations. The flash will always  
fire, regardless of the brightness.  
(lit)  
Slow Synchro  
The flash can be fired to illuminate the subject  
while a slow shutter speed correctly exposes the  
background. By firing the flash, it is possible to  
avoid the background alone being darkened.  
Use this mode at indoor parties, etc., to clearly  
photograph the subjects while making the most  
of the background atmosphere.  
(blinking)  
* The factory default setting is  
(Flash Off) mode.  
Effective Range of the Flash  
When you shoot with the flash activated, the flash has an effective range of  
about 0.6 – 2.5 m (23.7 – 98.5 inches). The subject will appear dark in the  
picture if the light from the flash fails to reach it.

the LCD monitor. Photographs cannot be  
taken at this time.  
Important  
Note  
• When you shoot a subject located closer than about 0.6 m (23.7 inch)  
with the flash activated, the light from the flash may appear reddish in  
some cases. The subject may also appear white in the resultant shot  
due to overexposure. To avoid this problem, switch to Flash Off mode.  
• The shutter speed slows automatically when you shoot in dark places.  
To prevent camera shake, hold the camera steady or mount it on a

Setting the Exposure Compensation  
As long as the subject is centered in the shooting range, you can take the  
picture normally as the camera will automatically adjust the exposure  
compensation for backlighting. If there is a significant difference in brightness  
between the background and subject, however, the subject tends to be  
underexposed (dark) or overexposed (white). Exposure compensation is useful  
in this situation. You can also use exposure compensation to produce  
intentionally under- or over-exposed images.  
➜ Exposure Compensation Range  
± 2.0 EV (in 0.5 EV steps)  
➜ Shooting Against the Light  
The bright background will make the subject appear underexposed. Set the  
exposure compensation level to a positive value to adjust the exposure.  
Important  
Note  
• If the subject is not centered in the shooting range when taking a  
picture against the light, the camera will not assume that the subject is  
in a backlit state. Exposure compensation is required in this situation.

➜ Shooting a White Image  
If you shoot an image that appears generally white, the shot will be  
underexposed as a whole, with people appearing dark and white objects  
appearing gray. Set the exposure compensation level to a positive (+) value to  
adjust the exposure.  
➜ Shooting a Black Image  
If you shoot an image that appears generally black, the shot will be  
overexposed as a whole, with people appearing white and black objects  
appearing gray. Set the exposure compensation level to a negative (–) value to  
adjust the exposure. Follow the same procedure when shooting a person under

Changing the White Balance Mode  
The white balance mode adjusts the white balance so that you can capture  
your subject in its natural colors regardless of the light source. The auto mode  
will suffice in most situations.  
The auto mode automatically adjusts the white balance based on the white  
areas, ensuring that white is reproduced as white regardless of the light source.  
Consequently, a subject that lacks in white tones as a whole or that is  
dominated by dark tones may not achieve an appropriate white balance.  
Change the white balance mode to shoot such subjects.

Handling Precautions  
I This camera is not waterproof. Keep away from water, rain, beverages, etc. If  
any liquid gets into the camera, consult your nearest Ricoh service center.  
I Be careful not to drop the camera or subject it to impact.  
I To avoid overheating, do not use the flash more than is necessary in  
continuous shots.  
I Do not look through the viewfinder directly at the sun or intense light.  
I Do not fire the flash close to a baby’s eyes as this may cause impaired  
eyesight.  
I Do not fire the flash at anyone driving a vehicle as this may cause a traffic  
accident.  
I Exercise caution to prevent sand or dust from getting into the camera in  
environments such as beaches or work sites.  
I Do not leave the camera for any length of time in particularly hot or humid  
places, such as in an automobile with the windows closed, at the beach or in  
a bathroom.  
I Check that the camera is switched off before attaching the AC adapter  
(optional).  
I The LCD monitor may contain some pixels that always or never illuminate,  
and the brightness of some areas of the monitor may appear uneven. These  
are typical LCD performance characteristics and do not constitute  
malfunctions.  
I Do not apply unreasonable force to the EJECT lever cover, terminal cover or  
battery cover.  
I Do not lift the camera by the LCD monitor, EJECT lever cover, terminal cover  
or battery cover.  
I Do not apply unreasonable force to open or turn the LCD monitor.  
I Be careful not to hit the lens unit or LCD monitor while carrying the camera.  
Keep the LCD monitor closed when carrying the camera.  
I Extreme temperature differences may cause condensation to form inside the  
camera body and lens unit, reducing performance. To avoid this, place the  
camera in a plastic bag and let it slowly acclimatize to the new temperature  
before exposing it.  
Potential Causes of Condensation  
•
•
•

Care and Storage  
I Care  
I Fingerprints or dirt on the lens or AF viewfinder will reduce the quality of the  
image, so take care not to get them dirty.  
I Do not wipe dust or smears off the lens or AF viewfinder with your fingers.  
Use a lens blower, readily available at most photographic suppliers, to blow  
dust off, or a soft cloth and wipe lightly.  
I Be sure to clean the lens after use at the beach or in the vicinity of chemicals.  
I If the camera should malfunction, contact your nearest Ricoh service office.  
This product generates high voltages and disassembly is hazardous. Under  
no circumstances should you attempt to disassemble it yourself.  
I Never use solvents, benzine, insecticides or other volatile substances on the  
equipment as this may cause deformation or flaking of the paint.  
I Be careful not to let anything rub against the LCD monitor or LCD panel as  
they are easily scratched.  
I To clean the LCD monitor or LCD panel, wipe gently with a soft cloth that has  
been moistened in diluted detergent and well wrung. Wipe off any moisture  
with a soft, dry cloth.  
CAUTION  
(1) Remove the battery or AC adapter before cleaning the camera.  
(2) Pay attention to the following points when cleaning the LCD panel.  
•
The condensation may occur inside the touch screen due to the heat  
generated by the backlight of the LCD monitor, when you wipe the touch  
screen with the solvent. Do not forget to turn the power off before cleaning  
the camera.  
•
When cleaning the camera, do not touch the edges of the LCD monitor.  
Otherwise the solvent can get into the camera resulting in the misoperation  
of the camera.  
I Storage  
To prevent possible failures, avoid storing the camera in places that are:  
I hot and damp, or subject to sharp temperature or humidity changes  
I sandy or dusty  
I subject to strong vibration  
I in contact with chemicals, such as insecticides, or rubber or PVC products,  
for an extended period of time  
I Near sources of strong electromagnetism (such as monitors and transformer  
magnets).
