2. Unparalleled Battery Life
The Caplio RR30s shutter releases almost instantly once pressed enabling you to capture shots that would otherwise be missed on other digital cameras. Its ideal for taking pictures of moving objects .
* As of July 20, 2002, for compact digital cameras with resolutions of four megapixels or less. Speed measured as time between depressing shutter release button to the start of exposure in autofocus mode without using focus lock.
With a specially designed drive mechanism that enhances performance and saves energy, the Caplio RR30s amazingly long battery life lets you shoot all day without the worry of your battery running out.
* A maximum 3,500 shots under power-save mode (flash off, without zooming, LCD off, with VGA); up to 350 shots under normal usage conditions (with 50% flash and zoom usage, LCD on, 30 seconds between shots, reviews of all photos).
3. Choice of Three Power Sources
The Caplio RR30 eliminates all power source concerns by providing the convenience of a long-life rechargeable lithium ion battery, regular AA alkaline or nickel metal hydride batteries, or an AC adapter.
4. 1cm Macros
Capture incredible detail
Capture a stream of shots from one action scene
Capture shots exactly as anticipated with a shutter response of just 0.22 second – the world’s fastest* in its class.
Take up to 3,500 shots* between charges on optionally available lithium ion battery
Operate as you like on AA batteries, a lithium ion battery, or from an AC adapter
In macro mode, shoot as close as 1cm to capture your subjects full richness and splendid detail. For darkened objects, use the built-in flash for macros as close as 16cm.
5. Revolutionary Multi-shot Shooting
The Caplio RR30s two handy streaming modes allows for close motion analysis – perfect for a golf swing. Use the M-continuous mode if unsure when an action may start or finish. Here, you hold the shutter button down and the camera memorizes the last 16 shots in one file for two seconds of footage. In S-continuous mode, you can capture a stream of 16 shots in one file for two seconds of footage with just one press of the shutter button.
6. High-Sensitivity Mode
The high-sensitivity mode provides incomparably better illumination of subjects in darkened rooms or other dim environments so you can capture the atmosphere without needing to resort to flash usage. In this mode, the monitor brightens the scene to aid framing and shooting.

Enhanced Power and Simplicity
Full 3.24-Megapixel Resolution and New Image Processor
3x Optical Zoom (10.2x in Combination with Digital Zooming)
Stylishly Compact and Light Body
Using a new 3x optical zoom lens that delivers a central resolution of 300 lines per millimeter, the Caplio RR30 is comprised of six lenses, including three aspherical lenses in five groups. Combined with 3.4x digital zooming, the Caplio RR30 delivers an amazing
10.2x zoom performance (equivalent to a telephoto range of 35–357mm on a regular 35mm film camera).
The Caplio RR30 employs a 1/2.7-inch CCD with a primary color filter that delivers an outstanding 3.24 effective megapixels of resolution. The CCD is also compact, fast, conserves power and provides superb color reproduction. The camera also incorporates a new image processor that reduces noise and integrates surrounding circuitry - enhancing image quality for even the largest of prints.
This camera is perfectly portable at just 160g, and features a stylish body that can be held comfortably in one hand. All buttons are positioned for easy finger reach to optimize handling and accelerate shooting.
Diverse Capabilities for Work and Play
Hybrid Autofocusing System for All Scenes
The camera uses a hybrid autofocusing system, comprising of both external and through-the-lens focusing. This setup allows the camera to automatically and quickly optimize focus for each scene –
a major contributing factor to the cameras 0.22-second shutter response time.
256-Point Light Sensor Optimizes Exposure
Six Scene Modes
A 256-point light sensor automatically maintains and delivers perfect exposure under diverse shooting conditions including flash lit close-ups, preventing situations such as white jumping and black blurring.
Full Support from Center Weighting and Spot Metering
The Caplio RR30s center-weighted metering ensures your subjects desired exposure level. Spot metering provides pinpoint exposure for parts of your shot that you wish to emphasize.
The Caplio RR30 offers a choice of six preset scene modes – Portrait, Sports, Landscape, Nightscape, Text, and High­sensitivity – providing the best results in these specific situations.
Handy Auto Bracketing
Use the auto bracketing function to take three shots at different exposure settings – especially handy for challenging lighting situations.
Quick Reviews at the Press of a Button
Press the Quick Review button to quickly see your latest shot without turning the mode dial to replay. Furthermore, instantly display the enlarged image and delete unwanted frames.
The Caplio RR30 can also capture a maximum of 120 seconds of silent video in the high-definition AVI format, which dramatically reduces block noise and flickering.
Enhancing Flexibility with Secure Digital Memory Cards
Capture Video
This mode extends battery life and the potential number of total shots by keeping the monitor off before shooting. The monitor turns on automatically when the shutter button is pressed to preview a shot or operate the zoom - and remains on for several seconds after you take a picture.
