Any time, any place—capture your inspirations in true-to-life, high-quality images.
The CX4—a tool for putting the fun back into photography.

Just choose a scene for clear, limpid photos.
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.

High-power (10.7×), 28–300 mm zoom
lets you frame almost any subject you want,
from sweeping landscapes to the
smiling face an arm’s length away.
Ricoh's original retracting lens system made it possible
to fit the high-magnification 10.7x optical wide-angle
zoom lens in a thin 29.4 mm body that is both easy to
carry and easy to use. This lens can handle a wide range
of shooting situations, including powerful tel ephoto
shots as well as wide-angle shooting of both expansive
landscapes and interior scenes with limited distance
betwee n camera and subj ect. In addition, the CX4's
ability to shoot high-quality images at high sensitivity
lev els enables you to use tele photo ph otograph y to
faithfully capture the joy, surprise, and excitement of a
scene without worrying about blur.
Never worry
about camera blur again with
image-sensor-shift image stabilization.
