0.14 seconds!

The world’s shortest release time lag*

makes action photography a reality!

Never miss that moment again. With a shutter
response of just 0.14 seconds — faster than
regular 35mm SLR cameras — images are
snapped up practically at the same time you
press the shutter button. Capture the precious
laugh of a child, a jumping dog or even a fast
moving car — nearly anything is possible using
the Caplio G3 with Ricoh’s patented hybrid auto
focusing system technology.

*As of February 1, 2003 for all auto focus digital cameras. Speed measured as time

between depressing shutter release button and starting exposure in in auto-focus
mode without using focus lock.

Curved precision.

Simplicity that leads

to creation.

The Caplio G3 is a very simple and
stylish digital camera that was curved
and sculpted to fit comfortably in the
photographer’s hand. Renowned
architect and industrial designer
Masayuki Kurokawa, in collaboration
with in-house designers at Ricoh,
developed its unique shape, which
gives you the ability to capture action
opportunities quickly and reliably
through its phenomenally fast shutter
response speed.

Masayuki Kurokawa is an architect and
industrial designer. He is also a professor of
graduate school at Kanazawa College of Art.
Many of his works have awarded a grand prix,
a special award that was established in 1957
by Ministry of International Trade and Industry.
