• If you set the camera to the Power-Save or Synchro-Monitor mode, the number of shots  
you can take will increase.  
• 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.

About an SD Memory Card (available in stores)  
You can store still images you have taken either in the camera's internal  
memory or on an SD Memory Card (available in stores). The internal  
memory capacity is 26 MB.  
When you want to record a lot of still images, movies or sounds at  
high resolutions, use a high-capacity SD Memory Card.  
Note  
Where images are recorded  
When no SD memory card is inserted, the camera records images in the internal memory;  
when an SD memory card is inserted, it records images on the memory card.  
When no memory card is loaded  
When an SD Memory Card is loaded  
Records to internal memory  
Records to the SD memory card  
Caution  
• If an SD memory card is loaded, the camera will not record to the internal memory, even if the card is full.  
• Take care not to get the metal parts of the card dirty.  
Note  
Write-protecting your images  
If you move the card's write-protection switch to LOCK, your still images cannot  
be accidentally erased and the memory card cannot be formatted. If you release  
the protection (by returning the switch to its original position), it is once again

Histogram Display  
When histogram display is on, a histogram  
appears in the lower right corner on the LCD  
monitor screen.  
A histogram is a graph indicating the number  
of pixels on the vertical axis and the  
brightness on the horizontal axis. The  
brightness is shadow (dark), halftone, and  
highlight (light) from the left.  
By using the histogram, you can judge the brightness of an image without  
being affected by the brightness around the LCD monitor. This also helps  
preventing voids and solids.  
If the histogram has only peaks on the right  
side without anything else, this picture is  
over-exposed with too many pixels only for  
highlight sections.  
If the histogram has only peaks on the left  
side without anything else, this picture is  
under-exposed with too many pixels only for  
shadow sections.  
Correct the exposure to an appropriate level.  
Note  
• The histogram displayed on the LCD monitor is for reference only. Depending on the shooting  
condition (flashing is required, the surrounding light is dark, and so on), 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.  
• The histogram having peaks in the center part does not necessarily provide the best result  
to suit your particular requirements.  
For example, an adjustment is required if you want to intentionally achieve under or over  
exposure.  
Reference  
For details about exposure correction, see P.80.

Preventing camera shake  
If the camera moves when you press the shutter button, the still  
image might not come out clearly (due to camera shake). The  
mark displayed on the LCD monitor indicates that camera shake  
should be avoided under the current shooting condition.  
To prevent camera shake, use a tripod or hold the camera securely  
with both hands when you shoot.  
Note that camera shake tends to occur in the following cases:  
• When shooting in a dark place without using the flash  
• When shooting in Slow Sync Mode (P.37)  
• When using the Zoom function  
If the camera shake mark (  
) is displayed, try the following:  
• Using the camera shake correction function (P.29).  
• Using the flash (Set the camera to [Auto] or [Forced Flash] Mode)  
(P.37).  
• Raising the ISO sensitivity (P.83).  
• Using the self-timer (P.88).

Changing the Exposure (EXPOSURE COMP.)  
The exposure setting allows you to select brightness levels for your shots.  
Normally, if your subject is centered, backlight compensation is automatically  
activated, and you can shoot with correct exposure.  
However, in the following cases, or when you intentionally want to change the  
exposure, you can change the exposure setting. Exposure can be specified in  
the range from -2.0 to +2.0. Setting the level higher (+) makes pictures  
brighter and lower (-) makes pictures darker.  
For Backlighting  
When the background is particularly bright, the subject will be dark (under-  
exposure). In this case, set the exposure level higher (+).  
When your subject is whitish  
It will turn out entirely dark (underexposure). Set the exposure level higher (+).  
When your subject is darkish  
It will turn out entirely bright (overexposure). Set the exposure level lower (-).  
The same happens when you take photos of people in a spotlight.  
To change the setting, use either the Shooting Setting menu or the ADJ. button.  
This section explains easy ways with the ADJ. button.  
When using the Shooting Setting menu, see "Using the Shooting Setting Menu" ( P.61).

H. Cautions on Use  
• This product is for domestic use. The warranty is only valid domestically.  
• 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.  
• Firing the flash consecutively may heat the firing unit. Do not fire it  
consecutively more than necessary.  
• 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 batteries may become hot after extended use. Touching the batteries  
immediately after use could result in burns to your fingers.  
• If the LCD monitor or panel is exposed to sunlight, they may become  
washed out and images may become hard to view.  
• The LCD monitor 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.  
• While you are carrying the camera, be careful not to hit it against other  
objects.  
• 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.  
• To avoid damaging the connectors, do not put any objects into the camera's  
microphone or speaker holes.  
Note  
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

I. 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.  
• After use at the beach or around chemicals, wipe it off particularly carefully.  
• 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 LCD Monitor is easily scratched, do not rub hard  
objects against it.  
• Please clean the surface of the LCD Monitor with solvents available on the  
market specially for cleaning LCD display surfaces. Gently wipe with a soft  
cloth dampened with a little cleaner.  
Storage  
• Please avoid storing your camera in the following kinds of places, as  
breakdown may result.  
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.  
In places of direct contact with vinyl products, rubber or chemicals, such  
as insect repellent, etc.  
Places with strong magnetic fields (monitors, next to strong magnets,  
etc.).  
• If you are using a battery or batteries, remove them if you are not going to  
use the camera for a long period of time.  
Precautions regarding care of your camera  
1. Be sure to turn the power off.  
2. Remove the batteries or AC Adapter before caring for your camera.
