Imaging processing performance
that places a premium on pure image quality.

The CX4 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.

Noise reduction for beautiful results at high sensitivities.

The camera’s noise reduction algorithm processes the image signal as it is output from the CMOS

image s ensor, reduci ng the im ag e noise t hat ten ds to occ ur in pho tographs taken a t high

sensitivities. The result is beautiful, limpid photographs with details, tones, and colors as vivid as

those seen in the original subject.

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.
