Tip: Picture Quality

The camera supports the following picture qualities:

Normal: JPEG compression is used to reduce file size.

Fine: Compression rate is low to achieve high picture quality. File size becomes larger comparing to Normal quality.

RAW: RAW image data are saved in DNG format; JPEG copies are also created. The camera displays only the JPEG copy; DNG files can be viewed and edited on a computer using the supplied Irodio Photo & Video Studio Software (Windows only) or commercially-available applications that support the DNG format.

Unlike normal- and fine-quality images, RAW images are not compressed. This increases file size but avoids the loss of quality associated with JPEG compression. Note the following when shooting RAW images:

Some functions of the shooting menu are not available for shooting RAW images. See the description of each setting for details. Image Settings and Date Imprint options apply only to JPEG copies and have no effect on the DNG files.

The number of RAW photographs that can be taken in a single burst in continuous mode differs depending on the camera unit and the settings of shooting menu.

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.
