GR Lens advantages bring out high-resolution CCD potential
|
Ricoh's advanced CCD delivers signature
GR image quality. This compact 1/1.8-type imaging sensor with
approximately 8.13 million effective pixels fully complements
the sharp GR Lens to produce images with rich gradations and
a wide dynamic range. Results are truly gratifying even when
shooting at high sensitivity settings up to ISO1600. |
Color aberration correction eliminates purple fringes
|
One of the most common color aberrations
faced by digital photographers is a chromatic aberration called
a “purple fringe” that appears along high-contrast
edges. This problem becomes more pronounced when using a wide-angle
lens and fully open aperture. But highly efficient color aberration
correction functions in the GR Digital eliminate purple fringes
and reproduce true-to-life images in vivid, fine detail and
natural color. |
Newly developed GR Engine reproduces true-to-life images
|
The GR Engine was developed with the
goal of reproducing images that match or surpass film camera
photographs in terms of resolution and color faithfulness. Its
sophisticated image processing algorithm, developed through
analysis of massive sample image data, produces natural results
in nearly all shooting conditions. Even diagonal lines, which
are a challenge for CCD sensors, are reproduced smoothly thanks
to an original image correction process in Ricoh's GR Engine.
By intelligently analyzing shooting conditions and user intentions,
Ricoh's new GR Engine produces exceptionally pleasing true-to-life
results. |
Meticulously screened components sharply reduce noise
|
Grainy electronic noise, especially
in shadows, is a problem inherent to digital cameras. Ricoh
minimizes such noise at its source by only employing electronic
components, such as circuit boards, that have been proven through
rigorous screening to offer excellent low-noise characteristics.
This low-noise internal circuitry together with advanced digital
noise reduction helps ensure superb image quality that is worthy
of the GR moniker. |
