What is the standard warranty for Ricoh cameras and accessories?
The standard warranty for Ricoh cameras and accessories is 1 year.
Does an extended warranty cover the camera and any accessories, or just the camera?
The extended warranty only covers the camera, it does not include external modules such as the GP-1 and BR-1.
Some settings on my G700SE/G800SE have been changed. How can I reset it to factory defaults?
Note: This process will erase any communication settings and camera presets.
1. With the camera off, rotate the dial at the top to "Scene".
2. Simultaneously hold the Trash/Timer button (bottom left) and the green Playback button (top right) until the screen displays "Initialize the Setting".
3. Arrow over to "Yes", then hit OK.
4. The camera should now be reset to factory defaults, and ask you to choose a language and set the date and time.
Can I use an external flash with the G700SE/G800SE?
Since the G700SE/G800SE do not have a functional hotshoe the customer will need to use an optical slave flash with a pre-flash selectable mode. They can also use the following optical trigger with a standard flash.

They can use Ricoh's GF-1 flash as well.
It can be purchased from Amazon:

How do I scan barcodes through the lens (TTL)?
Note: The camera must have a memo list loaded in order to scan barcodes. If you do not have a memo list or if no memo dialog appears when you press the ADJ./MEMO button, please use the "List Editor" program included with the camera to create a memo list.
- If the Memo dialog doesn’t appear, press the ADJ./MEMO button.
- Press the left arrow to initiate the barcode scan.
- Hold the camera close to the barcode so the blue aiming rectangle encloses the barcode.
- The barcode data should now appear in the Barcode memo field.
How do I scan barcodes using the BR-1 scanner attachment?
Note: The camera must have a memo list loaded in order to scan barcodes. If you do not have a memo list or if no memo dialog appears when you press the ADJ./MEMO button, please use the "List Editor" program included with the camera to create a memo list.
- If the Memo dialog doesn’t appear, press the ADJ./MEMO button
- Press the yellow Scan button on the BR-1 to initiate the barcode scan
- The barcode data should now appear in the Barcode memo field
Why can't List Editor or ST-10 see my camera?
List Editor and ST-10 write settings to the SD card in your camera, so if no SD card is inserted you will get an error stating that no camera is connected. If you do have an SD card in the camera you may need to format the card using the camera (Menu -> Setup tab -> Format [Card]).
