angle or wide-angle to telephoto for each shot, 50% flash usage, turning the
power off after each 10 shots).
• The figure for the number of shots that can be taken with AAA alkaline batteries
is based on measurements made with batteries manufactured by Panasonic.
• If [Off] is selected for [LCD Auto Dim], up to 345 shots can be taken with DB-65
batteries and up to 40 shots with AAA alkaline batteries.
• Set the camera to synchro-monitor mode to increase the number of shots you
can take (G P.40).
• The number of shots is for reference only. If the camera is used for long periods
of time for setting and playback, the shooting time (the number of shots)
will decrease. If you intend to use the camera for a long period of time, we
recommend carrying a spare battery.

ion battery (DB-65). Do not use any other battery.
• DB-60 Li-ion batteries can not be used.
• NiMH batteries are not charged at purchase; charge before use.
• NiMH batteries may suffer a drop in performance immediately after purchase
or following a month or more of disuse and may need to be recharged two or
three times before they will hold a charge.
• The battery life of alkaline batteries varies with make and the time elapsed since
the date of manufacture. Capacity drops at low temperatures.
• Manganese and Ni-Cd batteries can not be used.

About Formatting -------------------------------------------------------------------
Before using a memory card for the first time or after using a memory card
in other devices, be sure to format it with this camera. Memory cards can be
formatted using the [Format [Card]] item (G P.76) in the setup menu (G P.75).
Where images are recorded -------------------------------------------------------
When no SD memory card is loaded, the camera records images to the internal
memory (t); when an SD memory card is loaded, it records images to the SD
memory card (u).
Where images are played back from --------------------------------------------
When no SD memory card is loaded, the camera plays back from the internal
memory (t). When an SD memory card is loaded, it plays back from the SD
memory card (u).
Caution---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• If an SD memory card is loaded, the camera does not record to the internal
memory, even if the card is full.
• Take care not to get the contacts of the card dirty.
Write-protecting your images ----------------------------------------------------
Move the write-protection switch on the SD memory card
to LOCK to prevent your still images from being accidentally
erased or the card from being formatted.
Note that you cannot shoot images on a locked card because
no data can be recorded to the card. Unlock the card
before shooting. Although SD WORM cards do not have a
writeprotection switch, they can not be formatted, and data can not be deleted
from SD WORM cards.
Note-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The [Copy to Card from Internal Memory] item (G P.66) in the playback menu

When the camera is held vertically:
When shooting with the camera positioned vertically, the level function
can be used to determine whether the image is vertically level (the level
indicator appears in a different place).
Caution---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Tilt is not shown in synchro-monitor mode or if indicators are hidden or
the framing grid is displayed (G P.40). When [Level Setting] is set to
[Display+Sound], only the level sound is emitted.
• The level function is not available if the camera is held upside down, when
recording movies, and during interval shooting.
• The level function becomes less accurate when the camera is moving or when
shooting in an environment subject to moving, such as on a amusement ride.
• No level sound is emitted when [Level Setting] is set to [Disp + Snd] or [Sound]
and [Volume Settings] is set to [ꢀꢀꢀ] (Mute) (G P.77).
• Use this function as a reference to see if images are level when shooting
images. The accuracy of the level when using the camera as a level cannot be
guaranteed.

About the Histogram Display
When Histogram is on, a histogram appears
in the lower right corner on the picture
display. A histogram is a graph indicating
the number of pixels on the vertical axis
and the brightness on the horizontal axis
(from left to right, shadows (dark areas),
midtones, and highlights (bright areas)).
By using the histogram, you can determine the brightness of an image
without being affected by the brightness around the picture display.
This also helps you correct for areas that are overly bright or dark.
If the histogram has only peaks on the
right side, this picture is overexposed
with too many pixels only for highlight
sections.
If the histogram has only peaks on the left
side without anything else, this picture
is underexposed with too many pixels
only for shadow sections. Refer to this
histogram when correcting the exposure.
Note-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The histogram displayed on the picture display is for reference only.
• After taking a picture, you can correct its brightness and contrast by making
adjustments to the histogram (G P.70).
• Depending on the shooting conditions (use of the flash, dark surrounding light,
etc.), the exposure level indicated in the histogram may not correspond to the
brightness of the shot image.
• Exposure compensation has its limitation. It does not necessarily achieve the
best possible result.
• A histogram with peaks in the center may not necessarily provide the best result
to suit your particular requirements. For example, an adjustment is required if
you want to underexpose or overexpose the image.
• For information on how to correct the exposure compensation, see P.62.

Taking Pictures in Scene Mode
Scene Mode Options
You can use scene mode to select from among
five still image modes and movie, and shoot with
settings automatically optimized for shooting
conditions.
2
Use when taking pictures in dimly lit places. The picture display also
becomes brighter.
High Sens
Use to capture images under difficult conditions such as the scene
of a fire. The focal length is fixed to 2.5 m, allowing you to take clear
pictures in a situation where the auto focus would normally produce
blurred images due to flames, smoke and water vapor. Increasing the
ISO sensitivity extends the range of the flash, and prevents camera
shake by controlling the shutter speed even when the flash is not
used. The sharpness level is also increased in this mode and the
picture display becomes brighter and is suited for firefighting.

123
Cautions on Use
Waterproofing
• This camera conforms to the specifications for JIS/IEC waterproof grade 8
and JIS/IEC dustproof grade 6 (IP68).
• After shooting in the rain or cleaning in water, water may seep through the
eyepiece of the lens segment and the tripod screw holes on the underside.
This is not a problem because these sections are of double structure.
• The internal mechanisms of the camera are neither waterproof nor dustproof.
• 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 beach, near the sea, or in sandy
soil to prevent seawater or sand from getting inside.
• Open and close the battery/card cover or terminal cover with your bare
hands. Do not wear gloves, as any sand, dust, or other foreign matter that
may have adhered to the gloves may get inside the camera. Remove any
water, sand, mud, dust, or other foreign matter that may have adhered to
the camera and open and close the covers in a place where it will not be
exposed to dirt.
• Water droplets may get inside when the cover is opened. Wipe dry before
using.
• Because of its waterproof structure, the mode dial may be hard to turn
when it has not been operated for a long time. If this occurs, operate the dial
several times to restore it to the initial state.
• On a sandy beach or in a dusty place such as a construction site, pay
sufficient attention to prevent sand or dust from adhering to the camera.
• 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.
• Do not force the battery/card cover or terminal cover.
• Do not lift the camera by the battery/card cover or terminal cover.
• 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.
• In cold climates, if the camera has water droplets adhering to its surface, they
may freeze. Using the camera with ice on it may cause it to fail. Do not leave
the camera with water adhering to it.
11
•
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.
124
• 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.
• 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.

125
Care and Storage
Care
• Please note that if fingerprints, dirt, etc. get onto the lens, picture quality will suffer.
• Any dust or dirt on the lens should be gently removed either with a blower
(available from third-party suppliers) or a soft cloth, paying particular attention to
the area around the lens barrel. Do not touch the lens directly with your fingers.
• If the camera is dirty or after use at the beach, take the following steps: Make sure
the battery/card cover and terminal cover are securely closed. Fill a wash-basin or
bowl with tap water and use the water to remove any dirt, sand or salt from the
camera, and then wipe the camera dry with a soft, dry cloth.
•
If the rubber packing is dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. If the rubber packing
has anything sticking to it or it is cracked or damaged, its waterproofing function may
be compromised, resulting in leakage. If dirt cannot be removed or the packing is
damaged, request your nearest dealer or Ricoh Repair Center to replace the packing.
• 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.).
• To keep the camera free from dust and other foreign matter, store it in a lint-free
case. Do not place it directly in a pocket or other location where it will be exposed
to dirt or lint.
• Remove the battery if you are not going to use the camera for a long period of
time.
11
126
Replacing the rubber packing
To maintain the waterproof ability, replace the rubber packing every two years,
regardless of whether it has gotten dirty. If you use the camera frequently in a wet,
sandy, or dusty environment, we recommend replacing the packing every year. The
replacement will be performed by the Ricoh Repair Center on a chargeable basis.
