About Ricoh G900
Ricoh G900 Digital Camera
The Ricoh G900 is the ultimate ultra-rugged camera for remote and challenging worksites. Designed with engineers, project managers, and offshore workers in mind, this camera is equipped with a suite of functions that are useful in construction and industrial settings. Housed within its protective, airtight body is a backlit CMOS image sensor with approximately 20.0 effective megapixels which result in sharp, high-resolution images. The lens is made of reinforced glass circled with six LED ring lights for clear image processing at night or in dimly-lit areas, while the LCD display’s anti-reflective coating allows for comfortable field monitoring under bright conditions. Users can adjust the shutter speed to a maximum of 1/4000 seconds to reduce camera shake. The device is waterproof (up to a 20m depth), dustproof, and shockproof and is resistant to chemicals. It also features a Camera Memo function that lets users attach a text/audio file or barcode to a captured image for efficient browsing and referencing. It sports a GPS module that receives signals from Michibiki, GLONASS, and U.S. GPS satellites, as well as an electronic compass. Usage of the camera, menu, internal memory, and USB connection can be restricted through a password to prevent the disclosure of images and videos. The G900 also enables wireless LAN connection and accepts the O-RC1 Waterproof Remote Control.
With the Ricoh G900, experience a durable and high-quality digital camera designed for the most demanding environments. This advanced and innovative camera boasts a rugged body that is not only waterproof and dustproof but also shock- and chemical-resistant, making it the perfect companion for challenging worksites exposed to water, rain, dust, and dirt.
Ideal for industries such as construction, disaster relief, and healthcare, the G900 is more than just a robust camera. It comes equipped with advanced camera functions that enhance image file management, GPS functions, and barcode scanning capabilities as standard features.
As the successor to the Ricoh G800, the G900 has been upgraded with a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, offering approximately 20.0 effective megapixels. This allows for the capture of bright, high-resolution images, even in low-light conditions. Despite its enhanced shock-resistant performance, capable of withstanding a fall from 2.1 meters, the G900 is approximately 26% more compact than its predecessor.
The downsized body of the G900 not only improves portability but also enhances operability with its accessible button positioning. The flawlessly contoured grip ensures a firm hold on the camera, while the wide neck strap inherited from its predecessor allows for two-point, cross-shoulder suspension, enhancing ease of carrying and handling at worksites.
Beyond its outdoor applications at civil engineering, construction, and disaster relief sites, the Ricoh G900 is also suitable for a wide range of indoor industries. Thanks to the password-protected Camera Lock function, it can be used in high-security workplaces. Furthermore, its resistance to chemicals makes it ideal for medical and manufacturing facilities requiring thorough cleansing and sterilization of equipment.
In conclusion, the Ricoh G900 Digital Camera is a versatile, rugged, and high-quality tool for both outdoor and indoor use, designed to meet the demands of various industries.
Ricoh G900 Features
- The G900's back-illuminated CMOS image sensor captures bright, high-resolution images even under low-light conditions of dimly lit worksites.
- Thanks to its approximately 20.0 effective megapixels (compared with approximately 16.0 megapixels of the previous model), the G900 retains sharp, clear images even after cropping.
- The G900's solid, airtight body is waterproof to a depth of 20 meters and for up to two hours of continuous operation (equivalent to IPX8 or JIS Class 8).
- Despite its compact, lightweight design, the G900 incorporates a protective reinforced glass element to the front surface of its lens and a number of protectors at crucial parts of the body. Its rugged body is shockproof against a fall from heights of up to 2.1 meters,dustproof (equivalent to IPX6 or JIS Class 6)
- This business-use model is also designed to be highly resistant to chemicals, such as ethanol, sodium hypochlorite, and liquid chorine dioxide solutions used as fungicidal food additives.
- The G900's Camera Memo function allows the user to attach a text (100 items max.; up to 128 letters per item) or an audio file (30 seconds max.), which has been previously created on the camera or computer, to a captured image. It also allows the user to browse reference images compatible with the Camera Memo function
- In combination with the barcode scanning function, the G900's Camera Memo function makes it effortless to attach certain barcode information to camera memo data.
- Using the included EX2 application software, the user can integrate image categorizations and file names into camera memo data, making it possible to greatly reduce the post-shooting workload. The camera also allows for the export of data stored as an XML file in the desired format, to improve the interface with databases.
- The G900 lets the user restrict use of the camera's operations, entirely or partially, by locking some of functions from a list of menu items, including camera access, menu access, internal memory viewing and USB connection.
- Two separate passwords can be set -- one for the user, and another for the administrator -- to restrict camera operations.
- The G900 also allows the user to set a password for each SDHC- or SDXC-type memory card. Even when an SD card is lost or stolen, this password protection prevents the disclosure of images stored on the card to outsiders.
- The G900 comes equipped with a large, high-resolution 3.0-inch LCD monitor with 3:2 proportions and approximately 1,040,000 dots. Its AR (Anti-Reflection) coating minimizes annoying glare and reflections to assure a sharp, clear onscreen image, even in the harsh sunshine often encountered at outdoor worksites.
- The G900 incorporates a GPS module, which receives signals from Japan's quasi-zenith satellite system Michibiki and Russia's GLONASS (global navigation satellite system) in addition to U.S. GPS satellites, and an electronic compass which covers 360 degrees in 16 directions.
- Positioned around the circumference of the lens barrel, a six-LED Ring Light unit lets the user select a faster shutter speed to minimize camera shake and subject shake in macro and close-up photography.
- The G900 features a transparency guide, which allows the user to recall a previously captured image on the LCD monitor, and use it as a template for effortless capture of a new image with the identical composition.
- The G900's Image Clipping function allows the user to check two related images -- such as a worksite photo and an image of survey data -- on a computer screen.
- The G900 has 6.5GB of built-in memory, which allows for the capture of as many as 856 images at the largest image size.
- Thanks to 4K-resolution movie recording capability (3840 x 2160 pixels, 30 fps frame rate) in the H.264 format, the G900 can record an entire worksite and/or the relative positions of on-site structures in sharp, clear movie clips. By providing both Movie SR and Movie SR+ shake reduction modes,* it effectively minimizes camera shake
- The Electronic Level provides for a check of the camera's horizontal and vertical inclination with great precision when photographing structures and interiors. This device comes in handy when photographing at a worksite where the user has to stand on uneven ground and has difficulty assessing the level position.
- The G900 is compatible with FlashAir SD memory cards, and allows the user to activate or disengage wireless LAN communications. This wireless LAN connection enables the user to easily and speedily transmit image data from a worksite to a distant location, such as an office.
- The G900 accepts the O-RC1 Waterproof Remote Control (currently available on the market).
