Information
Ricoh has taken digital imaging a step forward
with the introduction of its wide lens technology. Zoom lenses
for digital cameras generally do not compare favourably with
those for conventional 35mm cameras. The main reason for this
is because digital camera lenses require more peripheral light.
Ricoh was able to overcome this handicap through a unique arrangement
of eight lens elements in three groups. The first group, the
most important for realising a wider lens, comprises three lenses,
one of which is a concave, Meniscus aspherical lens, made of
low-dispersion glass with a high refractive index. With the
Caplio G4 wide and now the Caplio 400G Wide, users no longer
have to make any sacrifices in zoom performance for the convenience
of a digital camera.
The
Caplio 400G Wide is designed for durability and geared towards
a wide range of outdoor applications. It affords users JIS*
Protection grade 7-equivalent water resistance and JIS Protection
grade-6 dust resistance, which make it possible to take pictures
in sandy or dusty environments. It is even possible to wash
the camera with water! The 400G Wide can even take pictures
under water at a depth of 1m or less, for up to 30 minutes.
The camera is lightweight, easy to handle and has padding protection
on either side and around the lens to provide superb durability
when being used outdoors.
With
a blazing shutter response time of 0.14-second and a fast start
up time of 1.8-second, the Caplio 400G Wide is ready to take
pictures quickly to take advantage of every photo opportunity.
One of the features of the Caplio range is the superb 1cm Macro
facility that allows the photographer to capture even the smallest
details – with the Caplio 400G Wide, the photographer also
has the advantage of the tele macro function, which provides
the same magnification but allows the user to move the camera
4cm away in order to prevent the shadow of the camera from creeping
into the shot.
Easy
to use, the Caplio 400G Wide has a 3.24 megapixel and 3x wide
zoom lens; combining the 3x optical zoom and 3.4x digital zoom
to gives up to 10.2x zoom photography. The Caplio 400G Wide
has all the features that a photographer needs to be able to
take exact quality images in any environment.
Main
Features:
1.
Designed To Stand Up To Outdoor Use.
Water- and dust-resistant, durable, portable, and easy to operate
- Use of a reinforced glass dust protector in front of the lens,
and rubber packing on opening parts and buttons provides JIS
protection grade 7-equivalent water resistance and JIS protection
grade-6 dust resistance. The camera can be washed with water
and used in the rain, and is capable of photography in highly
dusty or sandy environments.
- Protection on each side and in key locations provides superb
durability.
- The camera uses a sturdy, two-piece strap for hanging the
compact, lightweight body around your neck when walking.
- The large shutter button and switches make the camera easy
to use even when wearing gloves.
2.
Groundbreaking Wide Zoom Lens.
- The Caplio 400G Wide 3x zoom lens ranges from 28mm to 85mm
(equivalent on a 35mm camera). A unique lens arrangement and
use of highly refractive low-dispersion, aspherical lenses,
allows it to perform at the level of conventional 35mm film
cameras, a significant step in the evolution of the digital
camera.
- Combine the 3x optical zoom and 3.4x digital zoom to enable
up to 10.2x zoom photography.
3.
Never Miss That Perfect Shot.
- Superb response: just 0.14 seconds between the time the shutter
release is pressed until exposure begins.
- High-speed processing: Start-up takes approximately 1.8 seconds.
4.
Long Operating Time.
Long battery life and choice of power sources keep low batteries
from stealing photo opportunities
- Long battery life: Use the optional high-capacity lithium
ion battery to take up to 3,500 continuous shots. Reduce the
hassle of changing batteries in adverse weather conditions .
- No more worries about running out of batteries at a bad time:
the camera also supports readily- available AA batteries (alkaline,
nickel, and NiMH). Get the most out of outdoor use.
- An optional AC adapter is also available for indoor use.
5.
Six Distinct Scene Modes.
- Portrait, sports, landscape, night scene, text and high-sensitivity.
All these modes help to optimise results in varied shooting
situations.
6.

- The Caplio 400G Wide takes macros as close as 1cm from a subject,
allowing the photographer to capture every small detail.
- The photographer may also take advantage of the tele macro
function, which provides the same magnification but allows the
user to move the camera 4cm away in order to prevent the shadow
of the camera from creeping into the shot.
7.
Fast and Easy Transfer To PC.
- The imaging software provided makes instant image transfers
from the Caplio G4wide to USB-equipped personal computers fast
and easy.
The
Caplio 400G kit includes:
USB cable, AV cable, Software CD (Win, Mac), AA Alkaline batteries
