File Numbering System

When recording onto a SmartMedia memory card, you can choose whether the shot files will automatically be assigned consecutive numbers.

●When [SEQUENTIAL NO.] is [ON]

Numbers from R0010001 to R9999999 will be assigned to files.

As the camera saves the last number that was assigned, even when a new SmartMedia card is inserted, the subsequent number is assigned to the next image that is shot.

However, if the SmartMedia memory card contains a number that is bigger than the number saved by the camera, the next number after the one on the SmartMedia memory card will be assigned.

*Consecutive numbers will be assigned to files even if a different SmartMedia memory card is inserted. No file numbers will be duplicated.

*In some cases, file numbers on the same SmartMedia memory card may not be in consecutive order.

*To reset the numbering system, follow the procedures in “Initializing Settings” (p.104) and insert a SmartMedia memory card on which there are no images.

●When [SEQUENTIAL NO.] is [OFF]

Numbers from RIMG0001 to RIMG9999 will be assigned to files. When a new SmartMedia memory card is inserted, numbering starts in sequence from RIMG0001. When a SmartMedia card on which files have been recorded is inserted, the next file is assigned the next number on the SmartMedia memory card.

*Numbering starts from RIMG0001 on each SmartMedia memory card.

*When the number RIMG9999 is reached, the [FILE NUMBER OVER] message is

displayed and no more files can be recorded. See “Warning Messages” → (p.8).

Note • Numbering starts from RIMG0001 when the internal memory is selected as the recording destination.

•Using the consecutive numbering system (when [SEQUENTIAL NO.] is [ON]) is useful when submitting images to digital printing services or keeping files on a PC as there is no risk of the same number being assigned twice.

RDC-7 specifications

The Ricoh RDC-7, launched in the late 1990s, represents a significant step in the evolution of digital cameras, showcasing a blend of innovative features and user-friendly design. As part of Ricoh's line of digital cameras, the RDC-7 was well-regarded for its compact design and advanced capabilities for its time, appealing to both amateur and professional photographers.

One of the standout features of the Ricoh RDC-7 is its impressive 3.34-megapixel CCD sensor, which allowed for high-quality image capture. This resolution was significant for the era, enabling photographers to capture detailed images suitable for printing and sharing. The camera's focal length of 7.6 mm to 22.8 mm (equivalent to 38 mm to 114 mm in 35mm terms) provided flexibility for various shooting scenarios, whether it was wide-angle landscapes or closer portrait shots. Additionally, the RDC-7 incorporated a 3x optical zoom lens, enhancing its versatility and making it suitable for a wide range of photographic applications.

The design of the Ricoh RDC-7 featured an ergonomic grip and a user-friendly interface, which included a 2.5-inch LCD screen that permitted users to compose and review their shots easily. This display was notable for its clarity, allowing photographers to evaluate compositions and adjust settings on-the-fly. The camera also included a robust menu system that enabled users to access and modify various shooting parameters, catering to both novice users and experienced photographers.

In terms of technology, the Ricoh RDC-7 utilized CompactFlash cards for storage, which was a widely adopted format at the time. This allowed for substantial storage capacity and quick data transfer. The camera also offered several shooting modes, including automatic, manual, and various scene-specific presets, giving users the ability to tailor their shooting experience based on environmental conditions.

Another key characteristic of the RDC-7 was its ability to record video clips in addition to still images. This added a multimedia capability that was becoming increasingly popular among digital cameras of that era. While the video recording functionality did not offer the high-definition standards of contemporary devices, it represented a forward-thinking approach to digital photography and content creation.

In summary, the Ricoh RDC-7 combined essential features, advanced technologies, and thoughtful design that made it a notable camera in the evolution of digital photography. Its blend of quality, usability, and innovative capabilities set a foundation for future developments in camera technology, attracting a loyal user base and influencing the direction of digital cameras in the years that followed.
