Product Description
Heavy-duty construction for use at demanding worksites
The G900 II’s solid, airtight body is waterproof to a depth of 65.6 feet (20 meters) for up to two hours of continuous operation (equivalent to IPX8 or JIS Class 8). It incorporates a protective reinforced glass element to the front surface of its lens and a number of protectors at rucial parts of the body. Its rugged body is shockproof against a fall from heights of up to 6.8 feet (2.1 meters), * dustproof (equivalent to IPX6 or JIS Class 6), cold-resistant to temperatures as low as -10°C, and crushproof against weights of up to 100kgf (kilogram force).**
It is also designed to be highly resistant to chemicals, such as ethanol, sodium hypochlorite, and liquid chlorine dioxide solutions used as fungicidal food additives This heavy-duty construction ensures that the G900 II performs superbly and dependably in harsh, demanding
conditions of various worksites.
High-quality, high-resolution images
The G900 II’s back-illuminated CMOS image sensor captures bright, high-resolution images even under low-light conditions of dimly lit worksites. Thanks to its approximately 20.0 effective megapixels and high sensitivity performance with a maximum ISO sensitivity of 25600 (when individual sensitivity settings are used), the G900 II retains sharp, clear images even after cropping.
Camera Memo function reduces workload needed in post-shooting data management
The G900 II’s Camera Memo function allows the user to attach a text (100 items max.; up to 128 letters per item) or an audio file (30 seconds max.) to a captured image. It also allows users to browse reference images compatible with the Camera Memo function, such as a plan or blueprint, on the camera’s monitor. When used in combination with Barcode Scanning mode, barcode information can be attached to the camera memo data.
Password-protected Camera Lock function
The G900 II allows the user to restrict use of the camera’s operations, entirely or partially, by locking some of functions from a list of menu items, including camera access, menu access, internal memory viewing and USB connection. The camera can be released from lock status by inputting a password using the camera’s onscreen keyboard or barcode scanning function.
Two separate passwords can be set — one for the user, and
another for the administrator — to restrict camera operations. The
G900 II also allows the user to set a password for each SDHC- or
SDXC-type memory card. Even when an SD card is lost or
stolen, this password protection prevents the disclosure of images stored on the card to outsiders.
Easy to use webcam function
By switching to the UVC (USB Video Class) mode and connecting it to a computer with a USB cable (included as a standard accessory), the G900 II can be used as a web camera for real-time streaming of Full HD-resolution video images at 30 frames per second. When combined with the camera’s macro shooting capability and built-in Ring Light unit, the user can deliver more detailed, creative images than those captured by the computer’s built-in camera during online business meetings or private online communications.
LCD monitor assuring excellent visibility at outdoor sites
The G900 II has a large, high-resolution 3.0-inch LCD monitor (3:2 proportions and approximately 1,040,000 dots). The AR (Anti-Reflection) coating minimizes annoying glare and reflections to assure a sharp, clear on-screen image, even in the harsh sunshine. The Outdoor View Setting allows the user to adjust the monitor’s brightness level according to changes in ambient lighting conditions, to optimize the visibility of the on-screen image.
Note: Composite image; actual display not shown.
Advanced GPS functions and built-in digital compass
The G900 II incorporates a GPS module, which receives signals from GPS satellites and GLONASS (global navigation satellite system), and an electronic compass which covers 360 degrees in 16 directions. The GPS button on the back panel allows for quick start-up of GPS functions and the attachment of user-selected GPS data on captured images. When shooting indoors, the GPS Lock function allows the recording of GPS data onto captured images by using previously acquired position data. It’s also possible to record GPS log data by the second onto still images and movie clips and synchronize the camera’s clock with the GPS clock.
High-power, discharge-adjustable, six-bulb Ring Light
Positioned around the circumference of the lens barrel, the G900 II’s six-LED Ring Light unit allows the user to set a faster shutter speed and minimize camera shake and subject shake in macro and close-up photography. The discharge level can be adjusted to a desired level. This unit also provides selective lighting, in which the user can activate only the horizontally or vertically aligned lights to illuminate the subject more three-dimensionally and emphasize its contours. This comes in handy when photographing such miniscule subjects as microscopic components, scratches, and cracks. In the Barcode Scanning mode, the Ring Light can be activated to facilitate the reading of barcodes in dimly lit locations.
Other user-friendly features to facilitate shooting at worksites
• A transparency guide allows the user to recall a previously captured image on the LCD monitor and use it as a template for effortless capture of a new image with the identical composition. This mode can be used to capture images from the identical angle and review changes over time, making it helpful in applications such as assessing the progress of work at construction sites.
• The Image Clipping function allows the user to check two related images — such as a worksite photo and an image of survey data — on a computer screen.
• By selecting specific outline fonts, * the user can print the text displayed on the monitor at optimal size and in a legible typeface * RICOH RT fonts.
• 6.5GB of built-in memory allows for the capture of as many as 856 images at the largest image size. This is convenient when the user forgets a memory card, or when the memory card has reached its full capacity. Omitting a memory card on the camera also avoids the risk of unexpected image disclosure when the card is lost.
• 4K-resolution movie recording capability (3840 x 2160 pixels, 30 fps frame rate) in the H.264 format. Movie SR and Movie SR+ shake reduction modes, * it effectively minimizes camera shake, even in drone-mounted photography. * When one of these modes is activated, the angle of view becomes narrower.
• The Electronic Level provides for a check of the camera’s horizontal and vertical inclination with great precision when photographing structures and interiors.
• The optional DW-5 Wide Conversion Lens (available separately) expands the angle-of-view coverage to approximately 22mm (in the 35mm format) at the wide-angle end
