Powering the Camera
This section explains how to load the batteries (AA alkaline batteries) into the camera
and how to connect the AC adapter to power the camera from a household electrical
outlet.
Loading the AA Batteries
1
Mount AA batteries and operate the camera.
• If you use commercial batteries, use of rechargeable AA batteries (nickel-
cadmium or nickel-metal-hydride batteries) is recommended.
Note
Rechargeable Batteries
• Before using commercially available rechargeable AA Ni-Cd or AA Ni-MH batteries,
read the safety precautions in the accompanying manual.
Important
Note
• Use only the specified AA batteries.
• Never use batteries of an unrecommended type, such as manganese battery,
as this could damage the camera or LCD monitor and cause them to fail.
• Certain types of batteries may become hot after an extended period of use.
Allow them to cool before unloading them.
• Do not use commercially available batteries that are designed for specific
kinds of equipment (such as those marked “For CD players only”) in this
product.
• When purchasing batteries, read the battery instructions carefully to make
sure that they can be used for this product.
• Remove the batteries from the camera if you won’t be using it for an
extended period of time.
27
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
q Check that the camera is turned off, and
then open the battery cover by pressing
the catch and sliding it in the direction
shown.
See
“Turning on the Camera” (p.41)
w Load the batteries.
Important
Note
• Make sure that the batteries are loaded
with the positive (+) and negative (–)
terminals correctly oriented. Do not bring
metallic objects, such as a needle, into
contact with the battery contact surfaces
or electrical connections. Electrostatic
damage could result.
e Close the battery cover
Close the battery cover until it clicks into position.
I Economizing on Batteries
Use of rechargeable Size AA Ni-Cd or AA Ni-MH batteries is recommended for most
applications.
If a power source is available nearby, you can economize on the batteries by using an
AC adapter (optional).
In shooting pictures, having the LCD monitor display turned off will give your batteries
longer life.
I Shooting and Playback Guidelines
The table below gives the approximate recording and playback times that are available
with Size AA alkaline batteries, as measured under the following test conditions:
[Test conditions]
During shooting: Shoot continuously in a recording mode (shoot at an interval of
30 seconds, without turning off the camera in the middle, with the
flash fired 50%, at a 25°C ambient temperature).
During playback: Leave the camera continuously turned on in a playback mode at
a 25°C room temperature.

Tips to Extend the Recording and Playback Times
* The battery lives indicated above may decrease depending on the ambient
environment.
* In an extremely cold environment, warming the batteries by hand, for example, could
allow you to take more pictures. Where the ambient temperature is extremely low,
use of rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries is recommend for their cold resistance.
* Choose rechargeable batteries having as high a capacity as possible. (The capacity
rating is marked in the unit mAh.)
1
* Increased use of the flash or zoom feature or the LCD monitor would speed up the
exhaustion of the batteries. Reduce their usage to a minimum.
* The available picture count tends to increase when they are recorded in the 900 ×
600 recording mode.
* Copying or erasing images repeatedly would also accelerate the exhaustion of the
batteries.
* Wiping the contacts of the battery and camera body with a soft dry cloth can prolong
battery life.
• You are advised to make spare batteries available when powering the camera
from the internal batteries alone.
Note
• The battery symbol ( ), when lit, indicates that the camera's internal batteries
have a diminishing voltage. Be sure to have spare batteries on hand.
Rechargeable Size AA Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries have a tendency to shut
off immediately when the battery symbol is lit.
• Do not use weak (exhausted) batteries (when
blinks, etc.) because this could
result in camera misoperation (the LCD monitor, AF lamp, flash lamp and self-
timer lamp blink or light).
IIHandling Precautions
• Do not use damaged batteries or batteries at the end of their service lives.
• Do not subject the batteries to strong impacts .
Using an AC Adapter
When using the camera for extended periods of time to shoot or playback images,
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.
29
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
q Check that the camera is turned off, and then open the terminal cover.
See
“Turning on the Camera” (p.41)
w Connect the AC adapter cable to the power supply terminal (DC input)
on the camera.
e Insert the power plug into the electrical outlet.
• If batteries are loaded in the camera while it is connected to a household
power source, the camera is powered from the AC source and not by the
batteries.
Note
Important
Note
• Insert the power plug and connection cable securely. If the plug or cable
works loose during recording, the data may be lost or damaged.
• If you connect or disconnect the AC adapter while operating the camera
(recording, playback, or erasing), the camera will switch off to determine
the power source. This may cause the data to be lost or damaged. To
avoid this, connect or disconnect the AC adapter while the camera is
turned off.

Tips
G When Focusing is Difficult
You may experience difficulty focusing on the following subjects:
• Objects with little or no contrast (such as the sky, white walls, and car hoods)
• Flat two-dimensional objects with only horizontal lines and no significant protrusions
or indentations
• Fast-moving targets
• Low-brightness objects (in dark places)
• Strongly backlit objects and objects struck by strong reflected light
• Flickering objects (such as fluorescent lights)
When shooting subjects like these, focus on another subject that is located at about
the same distance and then aim at the target with that focus setting.

* The factory default setting is flash off mode.
■ Flash off mode
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 Flash mode
The flash will fire automatically in dark places and where there is backlighting.
■ Forced Flash mode
Backlighting and strong light can produce dark shadows in photographs of the faces of
subjects. Use this mode in such situations. The flash will always fire, regardless of the
brightness.
■ Slow synchro mode
The flash can be fired to illuminate the subject while a slow shutter speed correctly
exposes the background. Use at indoor parties, etc., to clearly photograph the subjects
while avoiding a dark background.
Effective Range of the Flash
When you shoot with the flash activated, the flash has an effective range of
about 0.4 to 3.0 m (1.3 ft to 9.9 ft) for the telephoto setting and 0.4 to 3.4 m (1.3
ft to 11.2 ft) for the wide-angle setting. The subject will appear dark in the picture
if the light from the flash fails to reach it.

Important
Note
• When using the flash for nearby subjects (approx. 0.4m (16 inches) or
less), the light from the flash may appear to be reddish in some cases.
This also causes overexposure so the subject may appear whitish in the
photograph. At such times, select the No Flash mode.
• The shutter speed will automatically become slower in dark places. In
such cases, either grip the camera firmly or mount the camera on a tripod
to prevent hand jitter. Exercise special care when using Tele
.
Using external flash
Note
Recommended product: TOCAD COMPANY LIMITED
“SUNPAK Auto 544 (USA)”
“SUNPAK G4500 (Europe and Asia)”
Usage and connection cautions
• Exposure is determined by the external flash setting. Camera exposure
compensation settings have no effect.
• Flash output is determined by the external flash setting. Photographed
images can be checked using the LCD monitor. If exposure is incorrect,
adjust the F value of the external flash and re-photograph.
• When the external flash is on, it will fire regardless of the flash mode to
which the camera is set.
• When the Quick shooting mode is used, continuous photography may not
be possible when the flash is charging and under certain photographic
conditions.
• It is recommended that the camera flash be used for close-up photography.
• Clip-on type flashes cannot be connected. Use a flash that can be attached
using the tripod socket. Do not apply excessive force when connecting.
• When connecting an external flash, adjust the end of the sync plug so that it
can be firmly connected.

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 under- or over-exposed. 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 under-exposed. Set the exposure
compensation level to a positive value to adjust the exposure.
3
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 under-exposed 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 over-exposed 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 a spotlight, for example.

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.

Remote Control
Tips
To operate the camera from a remote position or when the camera is
fixed in one spot, use the optional remote control unit.
Focus Lock Shooting
Usually, the auto focus function focuses the camera on the subject that appears in the
autofocus field on the LCD monitor or on the viewfinder. If the subject is located
outside the autofocus field, it may appear blurred in the resulting shot. Use the focus
lock to ensure accurate focusing on the subject.
“How to View Images on the LCD Monitor” (p.47)
See
■ When to Use the Focus Lock
If the subject is not positioned inside the
autofocus field on the LCD monitor, a blurred
image will result, since the background, not the
subject, is in focus.
If an object other than the subject occupies a
major portion of the autofocus field, the camera
will focus on the background, producing a
blurred image of the people.

Setting DPOF (Direct Print of File)
DPOF is a special feature built into your camera that allows you to assign information
to your images for use by digital printing services, desktop printers that accept memory
cards or devices that allow direct to print from your camera. By assigning DPOF
information to an image, you may designate the quantity of images you wish to have
printed or have an index of selected images printed directly from the memory card or
image file.
When submitting recorded images to digital printing services or other applications, set
the number of copies of the images to print and that of copies of the index. This setting
is possible only when you select the RICOH folder.
Setting a Print Service
When having prints made by a digital print service, set the number of prints and
number of indexes.
Note
• Only the files in the Ricoh folder can be set for print service.
• Leave enough space for 1 - 2 prints on the smart media so the print
service settings can be saved.
• After making the print service settings, do not change the record, erase,
etc., settings. If this is done, reset playback.

Changing File Names
When SmartMedia is being used for recording, sequential numbers are assigned as
the file names. When a file name other than a sequential number is preferred for each
SmartMedia, change the setting as follows.
■ With sequential numbering on (initial setting)
The file names R001 0001 to R999 9999 are assigned to the files.
Since the camera remembers the last file name assigned, the numbers will still be
assigned in sequence, even when a new SmartMedia is used.
If the SmartMedia contains a number larger than the last file name remembered by the
camera, however, the numbers assigned will continue from the last number in the
SmartMedia.
* Continuous file names will be assigned even when a different SmartMedia is loaded. There is
no duplication of file names.
* The file names within one SmartMedia may not be continuous in some cases.
* To reset the numbers, initialize the setting (page 110) and load a SmartMedia containing no
images.
■ When continuous numbering is off
The file names RIMG0001 to RIMG9999 will be assigned to the files.
When a new SmartMedia is loaded, the file names will be assigned in sequence,
starting with RIMG0001. If a full SmartMedia is loaded, the consecutive numbers in the
SmartMedia will be assigned.
* File names are assigned starting with RIMG0001 for each SmartMedia.
* When the file name becomes RIMG9999, “FILE NUMBER OVER” will be displayed. (p.13)
5
Note
• It is only possible to set whether or not consecutive numbers are to be
used as file names when a SmartMedia is used. In the case of built-in
memory, file names will be assigned starting with RIMG0001.
• Using consecutive numbering for file names prevents is recommended
when the images are to be used on a personal computer or in conjunction
with a digital print service.
• To reset the numbers to zero (0), either initialize the setting or load a
smart media containing no images.

Handling Precautions
G This camera is not waterproof. Keep away from water, rain, beverages, etc.
Consult your nearest Ricoh service office if any liquid gets into the camera.
G Be careful not to drop the camera or subject it to impacts.
G Do not use the flash more than necessary in continuous shots to avoid overheating.
G Never look through the viewfinder directly at the sun or intense light. Your eyesight
may be impaired.
G Do not fire the flash close to a baby or infant’s eyes.
G Do not fire the flash by aiming the camera at a driver behind the wheel. A traffic
accident may result.
G Exercise caution to prevent sand or dust from getting into the camera in such
environments as beaches or work sites.
G Do not leave the camera for any length of time in particularly hot or humid places,
such as an automobile with the windows closed, beaches or bathrooms.
G Verify that the camera power is off before you attach the AC adapter.
G Direct sunlight and strong light striking the LCD monitor or the LCD panel will reflect
white light, making it difficult to view.
G The LCD monitor or the LCD panel 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.
5
G Do not force any of the external moving parts, such as the card door, terminal cover
or battery cover.
G Do not lift the camera by the hard cover, terminal cover or battery cover.
G Do not impede movement of the lens barrier while turning on the power.
G Be careful not to hit the lens unit or the LCD monitor while carrying the camera.
G Extreme temperature differentials 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 acclimate to the new temperature before exposing it.
Potential Causes of Condensation
• Transporting the camera from a cold place to a warm place.
• Storing or using the camera in places subject to high humidity.
• Bringing the camera into a recently heated room or leaving it directly in the
path of air conditioning.

Care and Storage
G Care
G Fingerprints or dirt on the lens will reduce performance so take extra care not to get
it dirty.
G Do not wipe dust or smears off the lens with your fingers. Use a lens blower,
readily available at most photographic suppliers, to blow dust off, or a very soft cloth
to wipe it lightly.
G Be particularly diligent in cleaning the lens after use at the beach or around
chemicals.
G If your camera should malfunction, contact the Ricoh service center. This product
generates high voltages and disassembly is hazardous. Under no circumstances
should you attempt to disassemble it yourself.
G Never use solvents, benzine, insecticides or other volatile substances on the
equipment as this may deform or dissolve it.
G Be careful not to let objects rub against the LCD monitor or the LCD panel as it is
readily susceptible to scratching.
G To clean the LCD monitor or the LCD panel, wipe it gently with a soft cloth that has
been moistened in diluted detergent and well-wrung. Wipe off any moisture with a
soft, dry cloth.
＊Remove the batteries and AC adapter from the camera before commencing any of
the above.
G Storage
To prevent possible failures, avoid storing the camera in places that are:
G Hot and damp, or subject to sharp temperature or humidity changes.
G Sandy or dusty.
G Subject to strong vibrations.
G In contact with chemicals, such as insecticides, or rubber or PVC products for
extended periods of time.
G Near sources of strong electromagnetism (such as motors, transformers, and
magnets).
