“Moments of inspiration, just as I saw them.” Remember once-in-a-lifetime moments in images of the purest quality.

RICOH Pure Image Quality Technology
The imaging philosophy that lies at the root of all Ricoh digital cameras: not just “high image quality” but “pure image quality, true to what is perceived by the naked eye.” This is achieved through three core technologies—a low-distortion lens with true-to-life imaging properties, an image sensor with superior high-sensitivity performance, and an imaging engine that reproduces images in minute detail—that have been designed and developed as a single mechanism,offering unsurpassed resolution and faithful, unaffected color reproduction.

A wider range of expression, from dark places to bright ones. Back-illuminated CMOS sensor + Smooth Imaging Engine IV
The CX4 boasts a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor combined with advanced Smooth Imaging Engine IV image processing. Poorly-lit indoor or night scenes are rendered in pure, unblemished quality, as of course are brightly-lit subjects. An output pixel interpolation algorithm residing in dedicated logic circuits in the imaging engine reduces loss of detail in highlights to faithfully recreate high-contrast scenes exactly as they appear to the naked eye.

Breathtakingly pure beauty with each shot. Breakthrough noise reduction function
The camera’s noise reduction algorithm processes the image signal as it is output from the CMOS image sensor, reducing the image noise that tends to occur in photographs taken at high sensitivities. The result is beautiful, limpid photographs with details, tones, and colors as vivid as those seen in the original subject.

Corrects for even slight hand-motion blur. Image sensor shift image stabilizer.
The CX4’s completely reworked image-sensor-shift image stabilization reduces blur on average by the equivalent of about 3.7 shutter-speed stops, about three times faster than the CX3. This ensures crisp, sharp results in close-ups, telephoto shots, and other situations in which blur is likely to occur.

Don't let that scene get away.
high-speed continuous shooting functions.
Many discoveries await in a world unseen by the naked eye.
With speeds from 5 frames/sec. to ultra-high-speed 120 frames/sec., you will catch the moment.

The excitement of movement captured in beautiful high image quality HD movies. 1280×720 pixel HD movies
CX4 high image quality extends to movies as well as still photographs. It can shoot 1280 × 720 pixel high-resolution HD movies at 30 frames per second. This brings new possibilities for movie enjoyment, such as viewing your CX4 movies on a large-screen TV.

Clear images shot freely from wide-angle to telephoto.
28-300 mm 10.7x optical zoom
Ricoh’s original retracting lens system made it possible to fit the high-magnification 10.7x optical wide-angle zoom lens in a thin 29.4 mm body that is both easy to carry and easy to use. This lens can handle a wide range of shooting situations, including powerful telephoto shots as well as wide-angle shooting of both expansive landscapes and interior scenes with limited distance between camera and subject. In addition, the CX3’s ability to shoot high-quality images at high sensitivity levels enables you to use telephoto photography to faithfully capture the joy, surprise, and excitement of a scene without worrying about blur.

Easily select the desired angle of view.
Step zoom and auto resize zoom
The step zoom function enables you to fix the optical zoom magnification at eight steps (28 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm, 85 mm, 105 mm, 135 mm, 200 mm, and 300 mm equivalent). For a zoom range beyond the 10.7x optical zoom (300 mm), the auto resize zoom takes you to a maximum of 61.0x (1,710 mm equivalent)* in four steps (recorded image resized to 5M, 3M, 1M, VGA). Extracting and recording the desired portion of the image shot, auto resize zoom does not degrade image quality like digital zoom, which records the image after magnifying a portion of it up to a designated size.

Capture moving subjects clearly with subject tracking AF. NEW!
The camera focusing system automatically tracks moving subjects, ensuring that photographs are in focus and correctly exposed whenever you choose to press the shutter-release button. This feature is ideal for shots of active children and pets, as well as for photographs of flowers and other subjects that demand careful composition.

Broaden your photographic horizons with creative shooting modes. NEW!
This option makes it easy to enjoy a variety of creative effects. Choose from six different modes, including “Soft focus,” “Cross process,” “Toy camera,” and “Miniaturize,” and then simply press the shutter-release button for unique results.

Person? Landscape? Close-up? The CX4 will decide.
Scene auto mode (S-AUTO)
By just pointing the camera, "scene auto mode" will switch to the optimum shooting settings. The camera identifies the type of scene being photographed (portrait, sports, night portrait, landscape, nightscape, macro mode, etc.) and automatically switches to the optimum shooting settings. As a result, you enjoy quick and easy photography fine tuned to the specific scene.

Reproduce the fine gradations of light and color.
Large 3.0-inch 920,000-dot VGA LCD monitor
The large, high-resolution LCD monitor has a wide viewing angle and high contrast. With sRGB comparison of 100% for color reproduction range, it vividly reproduces image colors. Providing a comfortable shooting environment, the screen has a fluorine coat to prevent soiling, a hard coat to prevent scratches, and an anti-reflection coat to give excellent visibility even outdoors.
