The camera can be set to take pictures automatically at preset intervals. The intervals can be set in steps of 30 seconds in the range of 30 seconds to 3 hours.

For example, if you set an interval of 1 hour, the shutter will be released every hour, taking pictures continuously until the internal memory or SmartMedia memory card runs out of available memory.

Important

Note • Check the remaining number of pictures that can be stored on the SmartMedia memory card or internal memory before starting interval shooting.

•The auto power off function will be activated 24 hours after the start of interval shooting, even if the camera is powered by the AC adapter.

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.
