28-200 mm 7.1x optical zoom lens in a slim compact body
Ricoh's original Double Retracting Lens System has made it possible to fit a high magnification 7.1x optical wide-angle zoom lens in a slim compact body. This lens can realize your creative intentions in a wide range of scenes, from wide-angle emphasis on image breadth and depth to the telephoto's ability to pull the subject up close and prominent. To go beyond the 7.1x optical zoom (200 mm), use the auto resize zoom for powerful telephoto shooting up to 40.7x (equivalent of 1140 mm)*.

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

28mm Wide
Making good use of the emphasis on image breadth and depth created by 28 mm wide-angle shooting, you can enjoy recreating the atmosphere of the scene before your eyes. The ability of the 200 mm telephoto to pull the subject up close and prominent will enable you to catch clear and sharp expressions in a portrait shot.

Step zoom and auto resize zoom
The step zoom function enables you to fix the optical zoom focal length at seven steps (28 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm, 85 mm, 105 mm, 135 mm, and 200 mm equivalent). For a zoom range beyond the 7.1x optical zoom (200 mm), the auto resize zoom takes you to a maximum of 40.7x (1,140 mm equivalent)* in five steps (recorded image resized to 8M, 5M, 3M, 1M, VGA). From the wide zoom range available, you can easily select the zoom position best for the shot you want to take.

* Image size VGA (recorded pixels: 640x480)

High-definition 10 million pixel CCD for all the details
A 10 million pixel 1/2.3-inch CCD provides superb imaging power and expressiveness down to the smallest details. The high-resolution imaging power will vividly capture all the detail of a sudden encounter.

Smooth Imaging Engine III for high image quality
In addition to its superior color reproduction, Smooth Imaging EngineIII provides sophisticated image processing even in high-sensitivity shooting. This reduces noise without compromising resolution, the result being sharp and clear outlines and non-grainy images.

Capture small subjects at close range with macro photography functions usable at all focal lengths
For close-up shooting of subjects such as flowers and insects, the macro photography functions can get as close as 1 cm for wide angle* and 25 cm for telephoto. The minimum shooting distance, which changes depending on the zoom setting, can now be shown on the picture display . Enter a previously unseen world using the R10's powerful macro functions.

* 32 mm equivalent for wide angle and 200 mm equivalent for telephoto.

Electronic level for quick and accurate camera leveling
Using the level sound and the level indicator shown on the picture display, you can confirm that the image is level while shooting. This is convenient when you what to avoid any tilting of the subject when shooting landscape and building scenes.

Two motion blur reduction functions (hand motion and subject motion)
Ricoh's original CCD-shift image stabilizer function reduces the handmotion blurring that tends to occur in situations such as telephoto and macro shooting. When blurring is detected, the CCD itself automatically compensates by shifting in a direction that eliminates the blur. For lowlight scenes (indoors, twilight, etc.), subject blurring can be reduced using the auto high sensitivity, which enables fasters shutter speeds by raising the maximum ISO sensitivity level. These functions can help you to capture the ambiance of the scene as you see it.

* lur reduction functions are not guaranteed to work in all photographic conditions.

Face recognition mode so faces look their best
Enhancing portrayal of the nuances of facial expression and skin texture, this mode optimizes face focus, exposure, and white balance by identifying subject faces* . Even when people are not in the center of the frame, this function finds the faces and makes the appropriate adjustments.

* Identifies up to four faces.
* Face recognition mode is not guaranteed to work in all photographic conditions

Auto level compensation displays its power when shooting high-contrast subjects
Image setting functions enable you to change picture qualities (contrast, sharpness, color depth, black and white, sepia, etc.) while shooting. If you select "auto levels," the camera automatically adjusts tones to create a suitable level of brightness that limits whiteout and reduces loss of detail in dark areas when shooting high-contrast subjects.
