Digital performance beyond what you'd expect from a compact camera

Vibration Correction Function: Zooming is enhanced by reduced camera shake blur

CCD-shift Vibration Correction Function

Whenever excessive camera motion is detected, the vibration correction system (based on the CCD shift method) moves the CCD in the opposite direction to counterbalance camera shake and reduce blur. This function is effective at reducing the effects of camera shake in high-powered telephoto and macro shots, thus maximizing the effectiveness of Caplio R4's optical 7.1x zoom and 1cm macro features.

Ricoh's proven macro photography technology lets you shoot from as close as 1cm (wide angle) or 14cm (telemacro) away from your subject, expanding your vision into the amazing world of macro photography, which cannot be experienced with the naked eye. By combining the zoom macro mode with digital zoom, you can also enlarge tiny subjects, making Macro photography even more exciting.

AF Target Selection

This feature enables you to focus sharply on a certain object within the frame without moving the camera. By determining the optimum field of view, and taking into consideration such information as the size and contrast of the object, this feature raises focusing accuracy even during macro shooting.

Speedy Response: Capture picture-perfect moments with near-instantaneous response

Caplio R4 powers up in approximately 1.1 seconds^*. From the instant the focus is locked (half pressed) until exposure actually starts, it only takes approximately 0.007 seconds^*. Response time without locking the focus is as fast as 0.09 seconds^* (approx.). And shooting intervals are a rapid 0.5 seconds (approx.)^*. Through refined digital technology, Ricoh provides fast, highly responsive performance that allows you to capture fleeting moments with confidence and ease.
