Shooting at 1-second intervals with the RDC-5000 is made possible by a 2MB SDRAM buffer memory that can accumulate data continuously as you shoot away -- up to 10 pictures in the 1792x1200-pixel format, and 28 pictures in 896x600-pixel resolution mode. (Please note that the number of pictures in a continuous shoot will vary according to the camera mode used and the amount of internal memory available).
JPEG Compression Options
The RDC-5000 offers three different JPEG compression ratios, so you're free to capture exactly the level of quality you need. Normal is the basic JPEG compression ratio; Fine recording puts the emphasis on image quality; and Economy mode lets you maximize the number of shots you can store to on-board memory.

Choose Your Image Capture
Ricoh makes it easy to capture the image sizes you use the most. The professional-quality mode takes 1792 x 1200-pixel images, and the 896 x 600-pixel mode gives you excellent flexibility for multimedia and other lower-resolution applications.

8MB On-board RAM/SmartMedia Cards
The RDC-5000's 8MB of internal RAM speeds up CCD image processing so that you spend less time waiting and more time shooting. And new, higher-capacity 32MB SmartMedia Cards give you the flexibility to store the largest images with ease -- or a whole library of quick snapshots!
Date Imprinting
The date imprinting feature allows you to set the camera to automatically put a date on your photographs. For insurance and legal applications, among others, this can serve a very important function.
Real-time Monitoring
With previous digital cameras, moving the camera while you took shot would cause the LCD monitor image to blur. With the RDC-5000, you have a crisp, clear monitor image, even when the camera is in motion.
Auto Playback
This playback mode lets you use the LCD camera as a slide show screen,by automatically playing back all of the camera's stored images at 1, 5, 10, or 30-second intervals.
Zoom Playback
This mode allows you to closely examine your fine details in your photographs. A selected photo will zoom to an up-close view of its central portion. Button commands then let you move this magnified view around the image until the detail you want to see is framed -- all the way to the corners of the image. This magnified view allows you to precisely confirm the focus of an image before you use it elsewhere.
Multi-picture Playback
The screen of the LCD monitor can be divided into six images that display simultaneously. By manipulating the zoom button, you can quickly move through your stored images to select just the ones you want to keep.
