Notes

•The shutter speeds that can be set depend on the camera unit and the aperture setting. See the documentation provided with the camera unit for details.

•If Auto or Auto-Hiis selected for ISO Setting (page 90), ISO value will be fixed in manual exposure mode. The fixed value for ISO differs depending on the camera unit. See the documentation provided with the camera unit for details.

•Choose slower shutter speeds for longer exposure times.

To reduce blur caused by camera shake, hold the camera steadily in both hands or use a tripod. The picture display turns off while the shutter is open.At slow shutter speed, the camera automatically processes photographs to remove noise, increasing the time needed to record images to about twice the shutter speed.

•Autoexposure (AE) lock is not available in manual exposure mode. If AE Lock is selected for Set Fn1 Button or Set Fn2 Button in the key custom options tab, pressing the assigned button in manual exposure mode will set shutter speed or aperture to a value close to that needed for optimal exposure. Similarly, if Exposure Comp. is selected for +/– Button Settings (page 137) in the key custom options tab, pressing the + and – buttons will not display exposure compensation options in manual exposure mode, but will instead set shutter speed or aperture to a value close to that needed for optimal exposure. This is useful when you want to use optimal exposure as a starting point for modifying exposure. The One Press M Mode (page 138) option in the key custom options tab determines whether shutter speed or aperture is altered to achieve optimal exposure.

On the other hand, the S10 module offers a versatile zoom range of 24-72mm, giving users more flexibility in framing their shots. This zoom capability is ideal for capturing a wide range of subjects from wide-angle landscapes to detailed portraits. Its compact design maintains the portability of the GXR system, making it an excellent companion for travel and everyday photography.

In addition to its excellent optical performance, the Ricoh GXR incorporates advanced imaging technologies. It features a 12-megapixel sensor and supports RAW image formats for photographers who desire more control over post-processing. The camera's high dynamic range ensures that both highlights and shadows are preserved in beautifully balanced photographs, an essential feature for landscape and architectural photography.

The GXR system also boasts intuitive controls, allowing quick adjustments for exposure, ISO settings, and other essential parameters. Its robust build quality ensures durability, making it suitable for various environmental conditions. The camera's lightweight design coupled with its modular nature means that photographers can keep their gear compact without sacrificing creativity.

Overall, the Ricoh GXR system, with its unique modular approach and exceptional image quality, presents an innovative solution for photographers seeking flexibility and precision.
