Chapter 1 Downloading Images to Your Computer

This section explains how to download still images and movies to a Windows computer.

Downloading Images

There are two methods for downloading images from the camera to your computer.
1. Downloading images without using image download software such as DL-10 (GP.6).
The camera is recognized by the computer as a separate drive and appears on [My Computer]. Select and copy images.
2. Use image downloading software such as DL-10 to download all images to the computer (GP.7).
To use DL-10, DC Software must be installed. For information on how to install DC Software, see the “Camera User Guide”.
• Do not turn off the camera or disconnect the USB cable during image transfer. The files will not be written correctly.
• Do not use the computer to format the SD memory card or the internal memory. Use the camera to format the SD memory card or the internal memory.
• Be sure to stop the connection before removing the USB cable.
• The camera can not display pictures that have been transferred to the computer using “Windows Photo Gallery” (Windows Vista) or “Windows Live Photo Gallery” (Windows 7 or Windows 8.1) and then copied from the computer to a memory card which is subsequently inserted in the camera.
• Only one Ricoh digital camera can be connected to one computer. Do not connect multiple Ricoh cameras to one computer at the same time.
• When downloading images from your camera, load a battery with adequate remaining power in the camera.
• If there is an SD memory card in the camera, images will be loaded from the card. If there is no SD memory card in the camera, images will be loaded from the internal memory on the camera.
• The software supplied in the camera’s internal memory can only be used with Windows.

Downloading All Images Using the DL-10 Software

DL-10 automatically creates a folder called [Digital Camera] inside your [My Documents] folder. Downloaded images are saved in folders with the date of each shot, inside the [Digital Camera] folder. (The files will continue to be saved in the [Caplio] folder if you were previously using Caplio Software.)
Set the correct date and time on the camera before shooting.
Confirm that the camera is off.

To transfer 1000 files or more, transfer 999 files first and then click [OK] when the dialog box with the number of remaining files appears. After that, click the [Save] button in the DL-10 window or reconnect the USB cable to transfer the remaining files.

USB terminal.
The camera will turn on, DL-10 will start, and the DL-10 window will be displayed.
Image transfer begins automatically.
• The images on the computer are renamed using consecutive file numbers; the file names assigned by the camera are not used.
• Even when the storage folder is changed, the file number will be continuous. The number cannot be initialized.
• When transferring images to a computer using DL-10, the files are assigned names like [RIMG****.jpg] (**** indicates the number of the image), even if [File Sequence No.] is set to [On].
• For details about DL-10, see P.8.

In order to carry out edit detection using EC1, you must set [Edit Detection] to [On] in the camera’s shooting menu before shooting and download the images to your computer.

Using the Edit Detection Function

You can only carry out edit detection using EC1 after setting [Edit Detection] to [On] on your camera, shooting still images, and downloading the images to your computer.
Set [Edit Detection] to [On] in the

For example, when you download images to
your computer using “Windows Photo Gallery” for Windows Vista or “Windows Live Photo Gallery” for Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, a portion of the shooting data is edited during the download process. As a result, the images are labeled as processed or edited images for EC1.
