A new camera system concept brings movement into the world of photography: GXR

Creating an authentic image of your everyday world. Because unaffected Photos are often the best. For this kind of spontaneous photography, a camera must be small enough so that you have it handy always there and for any occasion. The ability to deliver the right lens to the subject and to the atmosphere, inspires and brings new ideas. The ideal tool for this purpose is an unprecedented, new camera system:
GXR. The compact and versatile interchangeable unit camera system.

The innovative camera system expands the range of photographic expression by using interchangeable camera units

GXR is a new camera system consists of a base housing and receptacle modules. Each receiving module includes a lens (focal lengths differ depending on module), a perfectly matching image sensor (size and type), and an image processor. By replacing the modules, the photographer can react in a way to a wide variety of shooting situations, which is the highest photographic standards. Thanks sliding connector for attaching and detaching the recording modules of module change is fast and secure way to go.

The AC module method allows compact and high-performance lens designs

It is the lens that gives life to the image. In interchangeable lens camera systems it has been such that between lens mount and image sensor (flange back) or between the rear objective lens and image sensor (back focal distance) for all a sufficiently large distance interchangeable lenses must be set. This makes the simultaneous achievement of a compact design and high optical performance difficult. Because omitted when the GXR lens mount, can freely set the cut length. Thus, the optimum optical design can be selected, and for future expansion, there is a great potential. This advantageous approach leads to recording modules with compact size to without having to compromise on image quality.

The properties of the lens and the image sensor can ensure an optimal fit

To make the best use of the strengths of the lens and the image sensor, the best solution is to combine both in one module. An example is the low-pass filter that covers the image sensor: The dilemma is that if one amplifies its effect against noise and color moiré phenomena, including simultaneously suffers the optical resolution. In conventional interchangeable lens cameras is the same low-pass filters are used, making it possible that the filter is too strong or inadequate for all lenses. With the GXR, we can dimension the filter with optimal adaptation for the particular lens resolution. Ricoh thus can successfully suppress the color noise without adverse impact on the lens resolution.

No problems with dust when changing lenses.
Highly sealed system for superior dust protection

That the dust very easily get to the image sensors in the interchangeable lens cameras today is a problem. The GXR is lens and image sensor are, however, together in one unit - the camera interior is not accessible. This structure makes the penetration and deposition of dust. In addition, the interior of the module is sealed by means of highly light-shielding parts. Even in very dusty environments, the receiving modules can be replaced without hesitation.

Precise and reliable plug-in mechanism

What is the lens mount for an SLR camera, the GXR system is the guide rail for the recording modules. In order to realize a reliable, stable insertion mechanism, high-strength, corrosion-resistant stainless steel was chosen for the guide rails. The surface hardness and wear resistance were increased by soft nitriding. The combination of guide elements, resin components, and pressure-welded springs allow the sliding and fitting of the modules noiseless. During the development of extensive exercise test for the insertion and removal were carried out to ensure the reliability of mechanical and electrical connections.

Adequate durability and first-class impression.
Housing made ??of magnesium alloy

Both the camera base and the receiving modules have outer casing made of a magnesium alloy. Lightweight, durable, shielding against electromagnetic influences, dissipate heat and easy to process to form precision parts - the magnesium material is an ideal material for digital cameras. The grippy textured enamel finish protects against corrosion and supports high-quality sound and appearance of the GXR.

? The interpolation at the pixel output improves drawings in bright areas, thus increasing the dynamic range.
? The noise reduction improves image quality when shooting at very high ISO sensitivity.
? The correction of lens distortion reduces the "bending" of straight lines with wide angle focal lengths.
Gain ? Arbitrary targets for auto-focus and exposure metering greater flexibility in the selection of the observed.
? Automatic exposure and white balance series are useful when the decision is difficult for a setting.
? The image color series automatic generated image versions in black and white and monochrome toning.
? With the manual selection of the flash output can be the illumination of the object and the environment to fine-tune each other.
? Up to 20 images can be marked, so that they can immediately show during playback.
