R8

Ricoh’s cutting-edge Double Retracting Lens System has enabled a 28 - 200mm wide-angle, optical 7.1x zoom lens to fit perfectly in an easy-to-use, easy-to-carry compact body just 22.6mm thick (at the thinnest part). And to further enhance the camera’s potentials, it is also equipped with a mechanism to switch between two zooming speeds with a single turn of the lever. Wherever you go, it will respond precisely to your motivation to express.

Beyond the optical zoom lens' maximum of 200mm (7.1x), the R8 has 5-stage auto-resize zoom that reaches a maximum of 40.5x (equivalent to 1130mm) ^* . Images can be resized to 8M, 5M, 3M, 1M, and VGA giving you the freedom to select whatever zoom you want.

• *VGA image size (640 x 480 pixel recorded image)

For that moment you can't miss, Dual Vibration Correction reduces blur from both camera shake and subject movement.

To reduce camera shake caused by hand movement, the R8 is equipped with CCD Shift Vibration Correction function for uncompromised image quality. Auto-HI Mode offers greater ISO range and faster shutter speed that helps reduce blurs in dark rooms that require higher ISO.

• *Vibration Correction is not guaranteed to work in all photographic conditions.

The R8 is equipped with Face Recognition Mode for clear capture of the delicate texture of the skin tone. It automatically identifies faces and makes adjustments to optimize focus, exposure and white balance. It works even when the face is not in the center of the frame.

• *Identifies up to 4 faces.
• *Face Recognition Mode is not guaranteed to work in all photographic conditions.
