Ricoh Caplio R7 Black Digital Camera

The Ricoh Caplio R7 Black Digital Camera can definitely tout with confidence about a few exceptional features that decorates the model. The optical zoom lens of 7.1 x zoom adorned by a 28 - 200 mm wide angle optimises the conception of any dynamic view of nature. The Auto Resize Zoom is another striking sub-factor of the zoom that realises up to 36.2 x zoom, a total of four zoom stages to ponder. The 8.15 megapixel CCD of the model enhances to the core even images of smallest details.

A Multitude of Auto Focus modes and the ever-reliable self-help

A range of Autofocus modes available in the camera enables the beginner to go carefree shooting of which the Macro mode and the AF target selection feature stands tall. Any subject can be shot at a distance of 1 cm from the camera positioning the lens at its widest angle. Promoting to telemacro mode to get as close as 25 cm to the desired object, the macro mode offers shooting at all focal points. The AF target selection mode simply offers the choice of focal point shift between different targets in the frame.

A galaxy of novel technological aspects

The Ricoh Caplio R7 Compact Digital Camera features an array of other key features that fine touches the image from perfection to perfection. The CCD shift vibration-rectifying mode reduces the frequency of blurred images due to handshake hassle, which is often seen in the macro mode or zoom shooting. For the sharpest of images realised in darker conditions the camera sports a feature called high sensitivity automatic mode. Thanks to the advanced automatic ISO speed settings. The least shutter lag time of the device hogs the credit of precise absorption of sporting events.

The much-hyped Face Detection Mode that can detect faces in a scene and subjecting them to optimum focus, white balance and exposure follows the rest promptly.

Friendliest Interface

The extra large LCD display of the model exhibits an explicit view of the captured images, even under the brightest of sunlight. This aspect lies subject to sincere back-ups from a set of easier to use and view menu as well as a new ergonomically designed ADJ button that facilitates easy scrolling through the key settings like White Balance, ISO sensitivity and Exposure. The camera further offers a range of 12 different scenic modes to select from, of which the nightscape, sports, movie and skew correction modes excel.

Flash and Supportive Device Compatibility

The intuitive built-in flash features of the Ricoh Caplio R7 8.15 MP Digital Camera parades a long list of supportive features of which the red eye reduction, synchro and soft flash earns the distinctions. Another feature of the model worth mentioning here is the PictBridge feature that enables the camera to access a feature-supporting printer without the help of a PC.

Conclusion

Even amidst a range of immaculate features that catapults the model to the top league, the most striking aspect that virtually turns heads instantly is the scintillating design of the model. A simple view of which in three different colours, namely red, black and silver might arouse irresistibility.
