Compatible Batteries The camera can be used with a DB-65 rechargeable Li-ion battery (supplied; DB-60 rechargeable batteries can also be used) or with a pair of AAA alkaline or rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.
Tip: Battery Capacity Under normal conditions, about 370 shots can be taken with a fully-charged DB-65 battery. About 25 shots can be taken with a pair of fresh AAA alkaline batteries manufactured by Panasonic. These figures are based on tests conducted according to CIPA standards under the following conditions: temperature 23 C (73 F); picture display on; 10 shots taken with 30 seconds between shots and the flash fired with every other shot; and the cycle repeated after the camera has been turned off and then on again. Cautions Rechargeable Li-ion batteries: Use only genuine DB-65 or DB-60 batteries. Do not use batteries not specifically designated by Ricoh for use in this camera. Alkaline batteries: Battery life varies with make and storage conditions. Capacity drops at low temperatures. NiMH batteries: NiMH batteries are not charged at purchase and gradually lose their charge over time. Charge before use. Note that performance may be impaired immediately after purchase or following an extended period of disuse, and that the batteries may need to be used and recharged two or three times before they will hold a charge. Manganese and Ni-Cd batteries can not be used. Batteries may be hot immediately after use. Before removing batteries, turn the camera off and wait for them to cool down. Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for extended periods.

Inserting the Battery

Be sure the camera is off before inserting or removing batteries. battery/card cover. 1 Open the(q) and open (w) Unlatch the cover.
Insert the battery. Using the battery to keep the battery latch pressed to one side, slide the battery in. The latch will click into place when the battery is fully inserted.

Tip: The Shutter-Release Button The camera has a two-stage shutter-release button. To focus, lightly press the shutter-release button until you feel resistance. This is called pressing the shutter-release button halfway. Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to shoot. Tip: Focus The autofocus/flash lamp and the focus frame show whether the subject is in focus.
Focus status Camera has not yet focused. Subject in focus. Camera unable to focus. Focus frame White Green Blinks (red) Autofocus/flash lamp Off On (green) Blinks (green) FIRST-TIME USER? READ THIS.
The camera may be unable to focus on the following: Objects that lack contrast, such as the sky, a wall that is only one color, or the hood of a car Flat objects containing only horizontal lines Fast-moving objects Objects that are poorly lit Objects with bright reflections or backlighting Flickering objects, such as fluorescent lights Point light sources, such as light bulbs, spotlights, or LEDs Note that one or more focus frames may be displayed in green if the camera is unable to focus with the above subjects; check focus in the picture display before shooting. If the camera is unable to focus, lock focus on another object at the same distance from the camera as your subject, then recompose the photograph and take the picture (page 21).
Tip: Avoiding Blurred Pictures To prevent blurring caused by the camera moving when the shutter is released (camera shake), press the shutter-release button smoothly and gently. Blurring is particularly likely to occur if: The flash is off and lighting is poor, or The camera is zoomed in (page 22)
In situations in which photographs are especially prone to blurring caused by camera shake, a J icon will be displayed in the picture display. Hold the camera steady and try focusing again, or attempt one of the following remedies: Turning the flash on ( ) or using auto flash ( ; see page 24) Choosing a higher ISO (page 84) Using the self-timer (page 26) Notes If the flash will fire when the picture is taken, a pre-flash will be emitted to assist focus and exposure. You can choose how long pictures are displayed in the picture display after shooting. If desired, photographs can be displayed until the shutter-release button is pressed halfway (page 126). In 5 mode, a built-in neutral density (ND) filter is used for between f/8.0 and f/11. The smallest aperture available in 5 mode is f/11.

Flash On The flash fires with every shot. Combines the flash with slow shutter speeds. Use when Flash taking portraits that include details of the background Synchro. indoors or at night. Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blur. Manual Flash The flash fires with every shot; flash output is fixed at the level selected for Manual Flash Amount (page 73).
Note The flash has a range of approximately 20 cm to 3.0 m (8 in.10 ft.), measured from the front of the lens (auto ISO; see page 84).
Using the Built-in Flash the flash. 1 Raise the flash OPEN switch as Slide shown.
a 2 Selecttheflash mode. select a Press F button to flash mode. The flash mode icon is briefly displayed in the center of the picture display and then appears in the top left corner of the display.
Note The selected flash mode remains in effect until a new mode is chosen.
The autofocus/flash lamp blinks while the flash charges (if the camera is powered by AAA batteries, the picture display will turn off until charging is complete). Photos can be taken when the lamp stops blinking. and 3 Focusflash shoot. it will emit a pre-flash before If the is required, each shot to help with focus and exposure.
Notes To close the flash when it is not in use, gently press the center of the flash cover down until it latches. The flash turns off automatically in dynamic range double shot, movie, continuous, and bracketing modes. The built-in flash turns off automatically when an optional flash is used (pages 167, 168). Cautions Do not use the built-in flash with conversion lenses or lens hoods. Do not use the flash unit in close proximity to your subjects eyes. Particular care should be observed when photographing infants. Do not direct the flash at the operator of a motor vehicle.

The Self-Timer

The camera offers a ten-second timer for self-portraits and a two-second timer to prevent blur caused by camera movement when the shutter-release button is pressed.
Note By default, the self-timer is assigned to the t (Fn2) button, but it can also be assigned to the Fn1 button (the instructions that follow assume it is assigned to the t button). The self-timer can only be used when assigned to a button (page 119).
1 Choose a self-timer mode. to Press the t button once
select the ten-second timer and again to select the twosecond timer. The current selection is displayed in the picture display. Pressing the button a third time turns the timer off.

Playback Mode Press the O (DISP.) button to cycle through the following displays:
Indicators displayed Details + histogram

Highlights

Tip: Highlights The flashing portions of the highlights display mark washed out areas in which details may have been lost to overexposure. Check highlights after shooting in direct sunlight or in other conditions in which parts of the image may be overexposed. If it seems important details may have been lost, choose a lower exposure compensation value and shoot again (page 77). Note that the display is intended only as a guide and may not be entirely accurate.

Tip: The Histogram The histogram is a graph showing the distribution of pixels of different brightness in the image. Brightness is plotted on the horizontal axis, with shadows at the left and highlights at the right. The vertical axis gives the number of pixels. The histogram can be used to assess exposure and check for loss of detail in highlights and shadows without the brightness of your surroundings affecting your judgement. A histogram in which pixels are clustered on the right indicates that the image may be overexposed, while a histogram in which pixels are clustered on the left indicates that the image may be underexposed.

Overexposed

Underexposed
If the image appears to be incorrectly exposed, you may be able to use exposure compensation to correct exposure in subsequent photographs of the same subject (page 77; note that exposure compensation may be insufficient to produce the correct exposure in some cases). The histogram can also be used as a guide when adjusting contrast in photographs after shooting (pages 101, 102). The histogram is intended as a guide only and may not be completely accurate, particularly in cases in which the flash is used or ambient lighting is poor.

As for On, except that ISO sensitivity is automatically set to On (Auto-Hi ISO) Auto-Hi (page 84).
Tip: Autofocus The camera will focus normally if you pause with the shutter-release button pressed halfway. Cautions Full press snap is not available in macro mode or when MF, Snap, or is selected for Focus. Care is required to avoid blur caused by camera movement.
Pre-AF If On is selected when Multi AF or Spot AF is selected for Focus (page 59), the camera will continue to focus even when the shutter-release button is not pressed halfway (the focus range, however, is narrower than for normal focus). This may decrease the time needed to focus when a picture is taken, potentially improving shutter response.

Successor to the original concept, and its maturation as an instrument
A camera that delivers the intended results. A camera thats advanced yet simple to operate, reliable and precision built. RICOHs GR DIGITAL has evolved to let you pursue your own ideals. Now comes GR DIGITAL II. Boasting its predecessors superior imagery and sharpness that only the Ricoh GR Lens can provide, yet achieving even higher image quality. In an amazingly compact, slim body robustly constructed of lightweight diecast magnesium the GR DIGITAL II encompasses enhanced expressive capability and adds new functions, along with improved operability that responds almost instantaneously to your commands. Its the kind of camera that urges you to use it, time and time again.
Like-minded in the pursuit of quality to exploit GR Lens performance to its fullest.
Every innovation designed to bring out the most from the GR Lens, with an added depth of features to realize the greatest GR ever. Nothing stimulates the photographers sensibilities more than encounters with a great lens. Since the era of film cameras, the superior optical performance and sharpness of Ricohs GR lenses can boast a host of major achievements. To extract every iota of a lens expressive capability demands ongoing refinements for the entire system, and this has been the aim of GR DIGITAL evolution. Now, Ricoh brings together its unchanging concept of what a lens should do, along with a host of new shooting functions, to create GR DIGITAL II.
GR Lens: superb definition with low distortion, all the way to the picture edge
The key criteria for lens performance, sharpness and low distortion, have been pursued without compromise. The widely acclaimed F2.4/f=5.9mm lens (35mm equivalent: 28mm) features improvements to compensate for various types of aberrations and vignetting on the subjects periphery areas that are particularly problematic to provide outstanding sharpness and high contrast all the way to the corners of the image, as the data in the lens MTF curve demonstrate. This achieves high image quality, particularly when taking pan-focus shots. Other refinements include reduction in mechanical MTF curve graph (24mm) 1m Aperture F2.noise from the AF drive. 80 The GR Lens is the story of 60 constant efforts at improvement. 40 The more the user understands 20 photography, the more he 0 or she will want to put this 0 1.4 2.4 2.8 3.3 3.8 4.2 4.7 Distance from frame center(mm) lens to use.

* When shooting in the Auto mode, an ND filter activates at stops above f7.1.
10.01 megapixel, 1/1.75" CCD brings out of the best of the GR Lens characteristics
The GR Lens takes pride in the capability of its high-definition lens to render subjects with fine detail and true-to-life reproduction. To bring out its optimal performance, GR DIGITAL II incorporates a 1/1.75" CCD with 10.01 megapixels, retaining definition, S/N ratio and dynamic range at previously high levels. Coupled with the GR Engine II, the expression of delicate lighting and image processing algorithm achieve superb picture quality, with reduced noise and fine gradations.
New 5-group 6-element retractable lens the fusion of superb optical technology and mechanical engineering
The brightness of a F2.4 aperture and various aberration compensation. The superb optical performance of the GR Lens is achieved by a 5-group, 6element lens that incorporates 3 groups with 2 aspherical elements and high-precision assembly techniques for sharper images in a more compact size. Use of high-quality optical glass and special lens polishing and multicoating technologies ensure natural colour renditions, overall sharpness and excellent contrast characteristics. The design of an original retracting lens system allows for the lens to draw level lens into a thin, 25mm camera body. In the course of the lens retracting a portion of the optical system withdraws from above the optical axis, thereby realizing extremely high precision and control of the lens unit a successful merger of exceptional optical performance within a slim body form you can carry with you anywhere.
Seven-blade shutter for nearly round lens performance
One of the most pleasing effects in photography is the appearance of outof-focus images the areas in the picture around the main subject that can be distant and as such are not in sharp focus. This is heavily dependent on the quality and shape of the shutter. The design of the almost perfectly circular, high-quality 7-blade shutter is precisely controlled for correct exposures, from F2.4 to F11* in 1/3EV even when

Advanced image engine GR ENGINE II with reduced noise

Along with the GR Lens, another source of the high picture quality is the GR Engine. Continuing with the sharp definition, natural noise reduction and faithful color reproduction of its predecessor model, the GR Digital II incorporates a new GR Engine II that boasts further advancements, like significant improvements in noise processing capabilities at high sensitivity settings. This ensures you can shoot at high sensitivity settings without concerns over loss of definition or chroma levels, thus expanding the range of shooting versatility. In addition to ISO 80-1600 sensitivity, a new AUTO-HI setting is provided.

Red lines:150/mm

Dotted lines:Tangential values
User-selectable noise reduction function
In scenes where noise is likely to be a problem, GR DIGITAL II gives you the option of activating image noise reduction processing. When you want to enhance expression of tightly shaded areas or take time exposures, this ensures excellent resolution, tone characteristics and color saturation, while achieving dramatic reduction in noise. * Cannot be utilized when set in the Scene Modes
Robust, lightweight magnesium body
Camera exterior is light yet sturdy, thanks to use of diecast magnesium. While just 25mm thin, the high-durability body stands up to twists, pressure and shocks. Antimagnetic shielding also suppresses electromagnetism that can cause generation of noise. In terms of every detail reliability, highclass impression, portability and image quality Ricoh has aimed at creating the ultimate in terms of well balanced body design.

Three Scene modes Movie, Skew Correction and Text modes are provided. With Text mode, you can use the camera to record memos. The Movie mode records up to 640x400 pixels at 30 frames per second.
Large 2.7" 230,000 pixel LCD monitor with high resolution and wide viewing angle
Despite the compact body, GR DIGITAL II boasts a full-size 2.7" LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 pixels giving sharply defined detail. Its 160-degree viewing angle permits clear visibility from low or high perspectives.
GR DIGITAL II brings together a host of features and functions for outstanding operability. Take its customizable, user-friendly Fn (Function) control, for example. Just hold it and shoot, and you can actually feel how it has evolved into a tool for expression.
ADJ. lever permits seamless operation from adjustments to confirmation
For quicker, more positive operation, after youve completed all settings and adjustments you can reconfirm them at a push of the ADJ. lever, without having to remove your finger from the lever.
Manually operated pop-up flash
To flash or not to flash? To respect the users intentions, GR DIGITAL II incorporates a built-in manual pop-up flash, activated by a manual slide switch so theres no chance of it going off unintentionally. A flash compensation function (2.0EV in 0.3EV steps) independent from the AE lets you reduce or boost flash intensity for just the right effect.
Electronic leveler ensures level shots while viewing through the LCD monitor
One of the key fundamentals of using a wide-angle lens is maintaining a horizontal image, and this is particularly relevant from the standpoint of the low-distortion GR Lens. Thats why GR DIGITAL II incorporates an electronic leveler, which lets you view the horizontal indicator in the LCD monitor display to ensure that shots are aligned horizontally. This also functions for vertical shots. When looking through the external viewfinder or in situations when the LCD monitor cannot be seen well, the camera emits an audible signal to indicate horizontal alignment.

* The horizontal indicator can be displayed as a mark shown on the LCD monitor, or with a histogram. * If the camera is tilted too far to left/right or forward/ backwards, the electronic leveler may not function.

Macro photography

Macro enables shooting from a distance of just 1.5cm from the subject. Since the AF target can be moved up or down and to the left or right, the macro focus will function smoothly even while the camera is set on a tripod.

AE lock

Youve just spotted a great scene. After determining the correct exposure for the subject, you want to shoot a scene using a different approach. At times like this, the AE Lock on the GR DIGITAL II Fn (Function) button can be preset. When used in conjunction with the focus lock of the Shutter button, you can easily operate AF and AE independently.
Extended battery life, 370 shots per charge
The DB-60 rechargeable battery provides approximately 370* shots. Conventional AAA alkaline batteries, available everywhere, will give up to 45* shots, so you need never worry about running out of juice. For added versatility, the camera can also be powered by AC adapter, Oxyride and rechargeable nickel hydrate AAA batteries.

* CIPA standard

RAW mode achieves speed and high image quality
In addition to JPEG (Fine/Normal), images can be stored in RAW mode. In the RAW setting, buffer memory size is boosted so that as soon as the first shot is taken, the camera is instantly enabled for the next shot. You can toggle between JPEG and RAW modes instantly using the Fn control.
Fn (Function) button summons functions at a touch
Use the Fn (Function) button to register functions you often require, and you can switch to them instantly, a feature that greatly simplifies operations, and ensures you can capture those not-to-be-missed shots.
Aspect ratio (horizontal-vertical ratio) with 1:1 square mode
GR DIGITAL II not only frames images in 4:3 and 3:2 aspect ratios, but also features a square setting that emulates 6 X 6 medium format cameras giving you the means of creating distinctive square shots. And these square images can also be captured in RAW mode.
Items programmable in Fn button
