Camera Overview — Ricoh Caplio RR1

The Ricoh Caplio RR1 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 1/1.8-inch sensor delivering 4MP resolution at a maximum image output of 2400x1800 pixels. One of its most distinctive physical features is the swiveling 2.0-inch Low-temperature Polysilicon TFT LCD display, which provides 200,000 pixels of resolution and offers flexible framing angles that a fixed screen simply cannot match. The camera also includes a traditional optical real image tunnel viewfinder as an alternative composition tool.

For focusing, the RR1 uses a contrast detection autofocus system alongside a manual focus option, giving users a degree of creative control uncommon in basic point-and-shoot designs. ISO sensitivity runs from 150 to 800, covering a reasonable range for a camera of this era and class. The built-in flash supports multiple modes including Auto, On, Off, Auto red-eye reduction, and Slow Sync, making it adaptable to a variety of lighting situations.

White balance options are similarly thorough, with presets for Daylight, Overcast, Tungsten, and Fluorescent, plus a Manual WB setting. Storage is handled via internal storage along with additional media support. The camera weighs 270g and measures 135 x 74 x 27mm, and connects via USB.

No image stabilization is present, and there is no weather sealing.
