High image quality
Ricoh's original Pure Image Quality Technology beautifully recreates your precious moments.
Imaging processing performance that places a premium on pure image quality.
Back-illuminated CMOS sensor + Smooth Imaging Engine IV
The CX6 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.
"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.
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.
* The noise reduction level can be specified for the noise reduction function as Off, Auto, Weak, Strong, or MAX.
* The time to record an image varies depending on the noise reduction setting.
Super-resolution technology for high-resolution image quality for everything from normal photography to zoom and macro shooting.
The CX6's super-resolution technology discerns the outlines, details, and gradations in the image automatically and processes the photograph based on the optimal settings for each. This allows the camera to record images with even higher resolution than with previous models.
Corrects for even slight hand-motion blur.
Image sensor shift image stabilizer
The image sensor shift image stabilizer function reduces the hand-motion blurring that tends to occur in situations such as telephoto and macro shooting. When blurring is detected, the CMOS sensor automatically compensates by shifting in a direction that eliminates the blur.
*Not guaranteed to work in all photographic conditions.
Ultra-high-speed autofocus
With ultra-high-speed autofocus time of 0.1 sec.,
you won't miss that shutter chance.
The moment you point the camera, the subject is in focus:
Ultra-high-speed autofocus.
Combining Contrast AF with an AF sensor for continuously measuring the distance between camera and subject, Ricoh's unique hybrid AF system has taken another step forward. Not only at 28 mm wide-angle but also 300 mm telephoto, the CX6 achieves fast AF focus times of 0.1 sec.* Throughout the entire zoom range, you will be sure to capture that fleeting shutter chance.
*AF focusing times were measured under Ricoh measurement conditions.
Autofocus operates even during continuous shooting:
AF continuous.
In addition to previous high-speed continuous shooting functions where the focus is fixed while shooting, the CX6 adds the AF continuous function that focuses for each individual photo shot continuously while the shutter release button is pressed. Continuous shooting speeds of up to 3 frames/sec. are possible.
*Continuous shooting speed will vary depending on shooting conditions, card type, card condition, etc.
AE/AF target shift functions provide support for shooting creativity.
In both normal and macro shooting, the AE (exposure) and AF (focus) targets can be shifted alone or together to any position on the screen. This enables you to take the desired shot by changing focus and exposure settings without moving the camera, even if it is fixed to a tripod.
Capture moving subjects clearly with subject tracking AF.
The camera's 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.
Leave the camera in charge for perfect focus thanks to its face-priority multi-AF system.
If faces are detected* while photographing people, priority is given to focusing on the faces. At the same time, exposure and white balance are also optimized for the faces so you will not miss the most appealing expressions of your subjects.
*The faces of up to eight people can be detected.
The camera automatically shifts the focus to take pictures during high-speed continuous shooting. Multi-target AF
Multi-target AF does high-speed consecutive shooting of five images with different focal distances determined by the camera. It is effective for scenes (such as flowers) where there is a narrow range for a sharp focus. The camera automatically decides the five focus points and does the high-speed consecutive shooting of five images while shifting the focus to each point. After shooting, you can select the image with the preferred focus.
*The continuously shot still images are recorded together as a single MP file (a file format with multiple still images in a single file). With MP file images recorded by the CX6, a selected frame can be extracted and saved as an individual JPEG image within the camera.
Macro and 10.7x optical zoom
From 1 cm close-ups to 28 mm wide-angle and 300 mm telephoto shots, capture both tiny subjects and panoramic landscapes just as you picture them.
Using photo expression techniques such as background blurring, capture a beautiful world that goes unnoticed until it is magnified. Macro shooting will teach you new ways to enjoy photography. Getting as close as 1 cm for wide-angle and 28 cm for telephoto, you can enjoy shooting powerful images that are only possible with macro.
*31 mm equivalent for wide-angle and 300 mm equivalent for telephoto.
Minimum shooting distance display
The minimum shooting distance, which changes depending on the zoom setting, can be checked on the monitor.
From wide-angle to telephoto.
10.7× 28-300 mm optical zoom + SR 600 mm zoom
Ricoh's original retracting lens system made it possible to fit the high-magnification 10.7× optical wide-angle zoom lens in a thin 28.5 mm body that is both easy to carry and easy to use. This lens can handle a wide range of shooting situations, including shooting of expansive landscapes and powerful telephoto shots as well as wide-angle shooting of interior scenes with limited distance between camera and subject. The CX6 also comes equipped with a new high-resolution zoom. This zoom enables telephoto shooting at 600 mm equivalent with minimal degradation in image quality.
For easy framing during telephoto shooting:
Zoom assist display.
The new zoom assist display function lets you check the zooming area at a glance. During telephoto shooting, the zoom assist picture and zooming area frame are displayed in the lower right corner of the picture display. By looking at the zoom assist picture, you can check to see where you have zoomed to so you won't lose sight of your target subject during telephoto shooting.
*The zoom assist display appears when the focal length is 93mm or higher.
2880-mm ultra-telephoto digital zoom and step 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 10.7× optical zoom (300 mm), the subject can be magnified even more with digital zoom as well as the 600-mm ultra-telephoto zoom. Photographs can be taken with ultra-telephoto zoom at up to 2880 mm at maximum.
Shooting modes
Create more distinctive images with aperture/shutter priority mode and creative shooting modes.
For a more powerful and expressive image:
Aperture/shutter priority (A/S) mode.
Aperture priority (A) mode and shutter priority (S) mode have been newly added. You can expand your range of expression with various techniques: select open or minimum for the aperture to change the level of background blurring, adjust the shutter speed to freeze moving subjects or to emphasize movement by causing the background to flow, etc.
Aperture priority mode
Select from the ［Open］ and ［Minimum］ options. When ［Minimum］ is selected, the range in which object are in focus expands to include both those close at hand and those far away.
Shutter priority mode
Shutter priority mode enables you to choose a shutter speed between 1/2000 sec. and 8 sec. Choose a fast shutter speed to freeze a fast-moving subject or a slow shutter speed to emphasize subject movement.
Broaden your photographic horizons with creative shooting modes.
This function makes it easy to enjoy a variety of creative effects. In total, there are seven options, including the new Bleach Bypass as well as Miniaturize, Soft Focus, Cross Process, Toy Camera, High Contrast B&W, and Dynamic Range Double Shot. Create a unique image by just pressing the shutter release button.
Bleach bypass
Muting the colors in bright areas and emphasizing dark areas by heightening contrast, this option is effective when you want to create an image with atmosphere and an austere elegance. Using the hue setting, colors can be set to either warm or cold colors.
Soft focus
Creates photos similar to those produced with soft-focus lenses. A good choice for portraits of women and other subjects that benefit from gentle softening. The amount of softening can be chosen from "weak" and "strong."
Cross process
Create photos with colors that differ markedly from those in normal photographs, converting familiar scenes into photos full of surprise and mystery. Choose a color scheme from "basic," "magenta," and "yellow."
Toy camera
Creates photos with the high contrast and saturated colors associated with toy cameras, together with their characteristic distortion and vignetting. You can adjust color saturation and choose the amount of vignetting.
Miniaturize
Blurring the top and bottom areas of the image makes it possible to photograph actual scenes but record images that recreate the impression given when photographing miniatures. This mode is effective when shooting from a high vantage point while looking down at a diagonal.
High contrast B&W
Intensifying contrast to a level higher than normal black & white mode makes it possible to record images with a grainy feel such as that created by using ultra-high-sensitivity film in a film camera or by push processing film at the development stage.
Dynamic range double shot
The camera takes two shots in quick succession at different exposures and combines the areas that are correctly exposed. The result is a photograph with a smooth transition from highlights to shadows, similar to what is seen by the human eye.
The 13 scene modes make professional-level photography as easy as selecting a mode.
Scene modes give you easy access to whole suites of photographic techniques specifically adapted to your subject. The CX6 comes equipped with a total of 13 modes, including Cooking mode to make sure your food photos look especially delicious, Night Landscape Multi-shot mode for great night scenes, Golf Swing Continuous mode for checking your golf swing, and Fireworks mode to beautifully capture fireworks in the night sky.
Cooking
The Cooking mode setting allows you to adjust the brightness and color tone of the scene while checking the subject.
Night landscape multi-shot
The CX6 creates clear, beautiful photos of night scenes by automatically and precisely combining a series of exposures shot at high sensitivities to reduce the blur and noise normally associated with pictures taken under low light, allowing photographers to taste the joys of hand-held, tripod-free night photography.
*Photosolid from Morpho, Inc. is used for the image stabilizer for night landscape multi-shot mode.
*PhotoSolid is a registered trademark of Morpho, Inc.
Fireworks
The Fireworks mode allows you to take great shots of fireworks using the optimal focus, color tone, and brightness for the scene. The regular shutter sound can be set to a voice shouting, "Tamaya!" (a place that made fireworks back in the old days).
Golf Swing Continuous Mode
Photos are shot in M-Continuous Plus (2M) mode. Gridlines will appear when you take or playback photos, making it easy for you to check your golf swing.
Zoom Macro
Automatically optimizes the zoom position to shoot the subject even larger than with normal macro shooting. You can use the ultra-high-resolution zoom on the CX6 to take magnified shots of the subject with a zoom that has minimal image degradation.
Pets
The flash, AF auxiliary light, and beep speaker turn off to avoid frightening animal subjects, allowing you to capture the expression of your favorite pet without being unkind. If a cat's face is detected, the camera will adjust focus for the animal's face.
*Not guaranteed to work in all photographic conditions.
Portrait
Subject faces are automatically detected and focus, exposure, and white balance adjusted.
Discreet
Flash, AF auxiliary light, and operation sounds are turned off regardless of the settings. This is convenient when shooting in museums and other public buildings.
Night Portrait
Use when taking portrait pictures against a nightscape.
Sports
Use when taking pictures of moving people/objects.
Landscape
Use when taking scenery pictures.
Skew correction
Use to straighten a rectangular object (message board, business card, etc.) shot at an angle to make it look as if it were shot squarely.
Text
Use when shooting images with text, such as notes written on a white board in a meeting. Images are recorded in black and white.
Person? Landscape? Close-up?
The CX6 will decide with the 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.
Control photo "feel" with diverse aspect ratios.
Diverse aspect ratios
The CX6 can record square photos with the 1:1 aspect ratio used in medium format cameras or a 16:9 aspect ratio suitable for viewing on wide-screen TVs. Give free reign to your creativity with photos that are a little out of the usual.
Choose the best shot after shooting with four different types of bracketing functions.
Bracketing functions shoot multiple images while changing the shooting settings. Spared from having to make subtle setting adjustments, from multiple images you just select the one best matching your creative intentions.
Auto bracketing
Automatically shoots three consecutive shots at three exposure levels (-0.5EV, ±0, +0.5EV) based on the set exposure level.
Color bracketing
Automatically records three images (color, black and white, and sepia) giving very different impressions. In addition to the regular color image, you can enjoy the play of light and shadow in a black and white image and the nostalgic feel of a sepia tone image.
White balance bracketing
Automatically records three images: a reddish image, a bluish image, and an image at the currently set white balance. This is convenient when it is difficult to judge the proper white balance.
Focus bracketing
The automatic continuous shooting of five images while changing the focus position by specified intervals. The focus position intervals can be specified as (Wide) or (Narrow).
Movies and continuous shooting
Use snap movie mode to easily shoot short movies just like shooting photographs.
The excitement of movement captured in beautiful high image quality HD movies.
1280×720 pixel HD movies
CX6 high image quality includes movies as well as photographs. You can shoot image size 1280 x 720 pixel high-definition movies and also record the movie sound in stereo*. If you connect the camera to a high-definition TV using an HDMI cable (sold separately), you can enjoy viewing the photos and movies you took on a large-screen HD TV.
*When shooting movies of 1280×720 size, the use of an SD/SDHC memory card with an SD speed class of Class 6 or higher is recommended.
*The sound is recorded in stereo, but playback on the camera is done in monaural.
Enhanced movie shooting functions, including the new movie button.
With the movie button, you can start shooting a movie with just one touch. For high-quality movie shooting, the optical zoom, autofocus, and image stabilization functions can be used just like when taking photographs. In addition, by pressing the Fn button while shooting a movie, you can split the movie and save it as separate files.
For movies with a snapshot sensibility: Snap Movie shooting.
The snap movie function is especially for shooting short movies 1 to 60 seconds long. With a photo-shooting style, you can easily create delightful short movies. You can also set the recording time in advance at 3 sec., 5 sec., 10 sec., etc.
Easily split a movie within the camera.
The CX6 has a new function for splitting a movie into two files within the camera. In addition, by specifying the playback display order, you can create a "slideshow" of the movies in the camera. Multiple movies can be replayed so that they appear as one work.
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. using the high-speed continuous shooting functions of the CX6, you will catch the moment.
Beautiful continuous shooting High-speed continuous shooting of approx. 5 frames/sec. at maximum pixels.
Still images at maximum pixels (10M) can now be shot continuously at high-speed of about 5 frames/sec. So you can capture that decisive moment in a high-definition image.
*Continuous shooting speed will vary depending on shooting conditions, card type, card condition, etc.
Don't miss your target M-continuous plus (10M/2M)
The CX6 has the M-continuous plus shooting function, which saves consecutive images shot before the finger is removed from the shutter release button. To fit the scene being photographed, you can select from two modes: M-Continuous Plus (10M) for 15 images taken in about three seconds and M-Continuous Plus (2M) for 26 images taken in about 0.9 seconds. Shooting continuously, you are ready when the decisive moment finally arrives.
*M-Continuous Plus (10M) image size is fixed at 4:3N (10M).
*M-Continuous Plus (2M) image size is fixed at 1728x1296 (2M).
*The continuously shot still images are recorded together as a single MP file (a file format with multiple still images in a single file). With MP file images recorded by the CX6, a selected frame can be extracted and saved as an individual JPEG image within the camera.
Continuous shooting at overwhelming speed 120 frames/sec. ultra-high-speed continuous shooting.
With ultra-high-speed continuous shooting, the CX6 shoots 120 images (120 frames/sec.) during an interval of about one second after the shutter release button is pushed, or 120 images (60 frames/sec.) during an interval of about two seconds.
*Image size is fixed at 640×480(VGA)
*The continuously shot still images are recorded together as a single MP file (a file format with multiple still images in a single file). With MP file images recorded by the CX6, a selected frame can be extracted and saved as an individual JPEG image within the camera.
