Macro Target Selection

If Macro Target is assigned to the Fn1 or Fn2 button (page 136), you can select macro mode by pressing the assigned button in shooting mode. The cross- hairs shown at right will be displayed; use the directional pad (page 37) to position the cross-hairs over your

subject, and press C/D(to exit without setting the target, press the DISP. button). Press the shutter-release button halfway to focus on the selected target, and then gently press the shutter- release button the rest of the way down to take the picture.

If the ADJ. lever has been used to select a focus target (page 66), you cannot select macro target mode by pressing Fn1 and Fn2 until the target is canceled.

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.
