Ricoh has announced a new compact camera; the Ricoh CX6 digital camera. The Ricoh CX6 digital camera features a high magnification 10.7x (28-300mm) optical wide-angle zoom lens that achieves even shorter autofocus times through the introduction of a new autofocus system. With the adoption of a new system enhancing both the hardware and software of the hybrid AF system introduced on the Ricoh GX5, the new Ricoh CX6 camera achieves auto focusing times as fast as 0.1 seconds. Whit this new Ricoh camera you can be sure to capture that fleeting shutter chance. The Ricoh CX6 compact digital camera takes the design concept of “A tool you will want to use every day” another step forward.
The Ricoh CX6 camera features a high-brightness LCD display which is approximately 1.7 times brighter that the previous model for better visibility outdoors. The Ricoh CX6 compact camera also adds a function for automatic adjustment of brightness based on the level of brightness of the subject, and this make it possible to minimize the loss of visibility that can occur due to changes in the shooting environment. In addition, for telephoto shooting, the new zoom assist monitor function displays a small picture on the LCD display so that you can always check the framing of the shot.
The new aperture/shutter-speed priority modes enable you to more richly express the atmosphere of the subject, and the snap movie function lets you more easily enjoy shooting movies. A release button especially for movies has also been added, and a wider range of functions (autofocus, zoom, etc.) are available for movie shooting. In a first for the CX series, the new Ricoh CX6 digital camera has a new release button especially for movie photography. Now you can easily enjoy shooting HD video clips even without a mode dial change.
