A new GXR camera unit featuring a GR Lens and an APS-C size CMOS sensor
Exhibited at photokina 2010
Tokyo, Japan, September 21, 2010—Ricoh Co., Ltd. (president and CEO: Shiro Kondo) today announced the development and release of GR LENS A12 28 mm F2.5, the fourth camera unit in the GXR interchangeable unit system. This product is being announced and exhibited at the photokina 2010 exhibition held in Cologne, Germany, beginning September 21, 2010.
Introduced in December 2009, the GXR is a revolutionary new interchangeable unit camera system in which lenses can be changed by mounting camera units that integrate lens, image sensor, and image processing engine into a single unit. In addition, to fully utilize this system's unique ability to accommodate interchangeable units other than camera units, Ricoh is also investigating possibilities for development of a variety of other devices.
The new GR LENS A12 28 mm F2.5 brings together a newly developed 28 mm wide-angle fixed focal length GR Lens, an APS-C size CMOS sensor, and the proven GR Engine III image processing engine to create a unit with high flexibility, high image quality, high-speed shooting ability, and high power of expression.
＜Main features of GR LENS A12 28 mm F2.5＞
1. Newly developed GR Lens and APS-C size CMOS sensor for strong resolution and imaging power
・The new 28 mm equivalent GR Lens has a 6-group, 9-element configuration. Incorporating two aspherical lenses, one special low-dispersion lens, and multiple high-refraction-ratio lenses, this extravagant lens configuration achieves strong resolution and imaging power to the edge of the frame.
The lens thoroughly corrects for various types of aberrations while at the same time utilizing a floating lens structure to suppress performance changes caused by focusing. The result at all shooting distances is high image quality worthy of the GR Lens name.
*To be given the “GR Lens” name by Ricoh, a lens must exceed a specified level of overall lens performance, with particular attention being given to MTF values, distortion, and color aberration.
・A 23.6 mm × 15.7 mm (APS-C size) CMOS sensor is used. The combination of this sensor with the GR ENGINE III image processing engine enables the camera unit to shoot high-quality images with smooth tone gradations as well as high definition and low noise.
・The use of a configuration of nine rounded aperture blades enables the photographer to enjoy beautiful bokeh as well as precise aperture settings.
2. Rapid shooting capabilities help capture fleeting shutter chances
・Focusing speed has been accelerated through the addition of the new drive mode and the use of a high-speed CMOS sensor.
・The Pre-AF function also accelerates focusing speed by adjusting the focus to match subject movement.
・The full press snap function shoots at a preset distance for a one-push full-press of the shutter-release button.
3. High usability and quality feel
・The manual focus ring is available for precise focus adjustments. High-speed adjustment is also an option. The manual focus ring can even be used to seamlessly fine tune the focus after automatic focusing.
・The target position can be magnified on the screen during shooting, and it can also be moved using the direction keys. Select from 2x, 4x, and 8x magnification ratios for convenient and precise focus checking.
・The two options of normal and pinpoint can be selected for the AF area size used in spot AF.
・For the exterior, we utilized die cast magnesium, which has a strong track record in the GR series, and we covered the surface with a corrosion-resistant "pear-skin" coating. The end result is a body with durability, light weight, and a superior feel in hand.
4. GXR series power of expression takes full advantage of GR Lens capabilities
・Multi-pattern auto white balance makes it possible to recreate natural as-seen colors even in people-photography scenes that were difficult to shoot with past auto white balance functions, such as scenes with both shadow and sunlight and scenes mixing flash and natural light (or fluorescent light, etc.).
・ISO3200 facilitates shooting in low light conditions.
・The noise reduction level can be specified as Off, Weak, Strong, Max, or Auto. By specifying Max, it is possible to do sophisticated variance-estimation type noise reduction processing in which the sensor image data's noise distribution is analyzed and the optimum processing is done for each region.
・The automatic exposure modes include program shift mode, shutter speed priority mode, and aperture priority mode.
・Picture settings can be customized with nine setting levels for easy creation of a diverse range of images.
5. Diverse functions of the GXR series
・An electronic level utilizing an acceleration sensor.
・Three grid guides useful for framing images while shooting.
・An image flag function to enable the quick display of specific images from among those in the camera. Up to 20 images can be flagged.
・The DIRECT screen enabling current shooting settings to be displayed and changed. Settings can be easily checked at a glance.
・It is possible to shoot 1280 × 720 pixel HD movies.
* Note: When shooting movies of 1280×720 size, the use of an SD/SDHC memory card with an SD speed class of Class 6 or higher is recommended.

Product Model
Lens Hood LH-1
Soft Case B （lower portion and strap） SC-６５Ｂ
Soft Case T （upper portion only） SC-６５Ｔ
Soft Case SC-５５Ｌ
*All of the focal lengths in this release are converted to the equivalent values for a 35 mm film camera.
*SC-65T cannot be used as a case by itself. It must be used together with SC-65B.
*LH-1, SC-65B, SC-65T are new options being introduced at this time. SC-65B and SC-65T are to go on sale in the near future.
*Functions when mounted on the GXR body.

PCmover provides the easiest and quickest solution for moving applications, games, settings and data from one pc to another. It can also conduct an in-place upgrade of an existing PC to Windows® 7 and restore the image of an old Windows PC (or hard drive) to a new PC without overwriting the new operating system.
PCmover connects to the PCs using a network, Laplink USB 2.0, Laplink High-Speed Transfer cable or any type of removable media that can be read by both PCs. The easy-to-use wizard helps users set up the transfer within ten minutes, while the multiple user transfer option can be used to move all user profiles in a single migration. Intel-based Mac® users running Apple® Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion for Mac can also use PCmover to transfer files, settings and applications from their old PC to their new Mac.
Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant™ will help users conduct an in-place upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. With PCmover, the upgrade can be completed in three easy steps, without the need to copy files to external media or reinstall all the applications.
Along with the Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant and Image Assistant functionality, PCmover features complete selectivity over what programs, files and settings are transferred or restored and quickly reverses changes made to the new PC with an easy undo feature. Users also won’t have to stay with the PC during the move. After the transfer begins users can walk away while PCmover does the rest. PCmover makes moving to a new PC, upgrading an existing PC or restoring the contents of a Windows image or hard drive hassle free.
PCmover is designed for users wanting to transfer data from one PC to another, as well as users who want to upgrade their old systems to Windows 7. You can upgrade to Windows 7 from almost any old version of Windows and an upgrade from a 32-bit to a 64-bit operating system is also possible.
PCmover also comes with Laplink SafeErase™ and Laplink PCsync®. SafeErase helps users keep confidential data from falling into the wrong hands by completely deleting personal files. PCsync is the quickest and easiest way to keep files and folders in sync between multiple computers. The software also comes with a Laplink High-Speed Transfer Cable.
PCmover is truly the only software of its kind. Some products transfer files but not programs. Other products transfer the entire PC into a “Virtual Machine” (VM) on the new PC, a time-consuming and complicated process that still uses the old operating system, meaning the user hasn’t completely moved to the new PC. And, to legally use the old operating system in the VM often requires buying an additional windows license, forcing users to spend more money or cause them to use their licenses illegally. PCmover solves all of these problems.
Price & Availability:
PCmover is available online at http://www.laplink.com/ or Amazon for SRP £29.99
For nearly 30 years, Laplink has been the leader in providing software used for PC migration, remote access, file transfer, and synchronization. The privately-held company was founded in 1983 and is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington.

ILFORD to reveal innovative new products at photokina
Preview 3D photo samples, experience the GALERIE media and see the latest OMNIJET display products
photokina 2010 – September 21-29
Hall 6.1, Stand C011
Marly, Switzerland. September 2010 – ILFORD is set to reveal their latest cutting edge products and processes at photokina 2010. Under the theme Choice of Professionals, ILFORD will showcase for traditional photographers, production houses and graphic art professionals at this international photo event.
photokina, as one of the largest and most influential photo exhibitions in the world, is a strategic event for the entire photo industry. ILFORD will make the most of this, displaying three strategic initiatives that create photographic quality. Designed by the exceptional ILFORD Research and Development team, the new ILFORD products and processes promise to meet the creative and competitive needs of the professional photographic and commercial printing markets, by offering breathtaking colour possibilities with the latest imaging techniques.
ILFOVINYL 3D Photo System
Production houses can now offer an innovative and unique point-of-sale display option, thanks to the new ILFOVINYL 3D Photo System co-developed with Photoplast. The true 3D photographic point-of-sale material is guaranteed to capture the imagination and create impact for luxury brand displays.
The straightforward four step process begins by manipulating a traditional 2D photo into a 3D image. Then, the standard ILFOVINYL media is developed and exposed through regular RA4 equipment. Once printed, the exclusive ILFOSEAL coating is applied to the media. This seal is the differentiating ingredient which enables the entire 3D process; with ILFOSEAL moulding is possible without detriment, cracking or otherwise damaging the photographic image. Finally, the sealed ILFOVINYL is formed on the 3D mould, and an attractive, robust, cutting-edge 3D photographic display is made.
ILFOVINYL 3D Photo System samples will be available for preview at photokina, and the product will be available from October.
GALERIE
ILFORD GALERIE is designed to meet the demanding needs of today’s professional inkjet marketplace. The latest GALERIE wide format fine art range, as well as the recently released Smooth Lustre Duo, a true double-sided media, will be on display at the ILFORD stand.
At photokina, ILFORD will be canvassing opinion from journalists, customers and dealers on the fine art media, as part of their rigorous customer acceptance tests, which are an integral part of the ILFORD development process. Underlining their commitment to quality, ILFORD will also present the latest print permanence test results from Wilhelm Imaging
Research for GALERIE Smooth Pearl and Smooth Gloss papers. These comprehensive permanence tests include the effects of light during display, the stability of the prints in long-term dark storage, resistance to ozone, the effects of high humidity, and resistance to contact with water.
As an active member of photokina, ILFORD will be participating in the Fine Art exhibition, “See Me, Feel Me, Print Me,” providing photographers and end customers with an opportunity to experience the ILFORD GALERIE fine art media, first hand.
OMNIJET
The OMNIJET commercial range of display products will also be showcased at photokina 2010. Back-lit, pop-up and display films designed to give attractive, rich colour for point-of-sale, trade show, and other commercial applications are compatible with the latest wide format printers, including an HP Latex approved range. The OMNIJET line continues to be the media of choice for commercial print professionals wanting to achieve impressive results.
“As the photo event in all of Europe, we have chosen photokina as the launch-pad for our most innovative products and processes this year,” shares Jane Dixon, Head of Global Marketing, ILFORD Imaging Switzerland GmbH. “From the ILFOVINYL 3D Photo System, to the GALERIE and OMNIJET possibilities, we are pleased to showcase our cutting-edge offerings at this event. And while our photographic media continues to diversify, our commitment to colour and quality remain the same. We look forward to receiving invaluable feedback from the professionals at this event, and continuing to adapt our developments to match the professional photo and graphic art market demands.”

proDAD’s Renown Video Stabilization Technology Allows Vegas Pro 10 Users to Easily Rescue Shaky Video and Automatically Correct Skew, Wobble, and Jello Distortion on the Vegas Timeline
SILICON VALLEY, CA September 13, 2010 – proDAD, the renown developer of digital video effects plug-ins and image optimization technologies for video professionals as well as aspiring pros today announced that Sony Creative Software has chosen to integrate proDAD’s video stabilization and rolling-shutter correction technology into its award winning Vegas Pro 10 video, audio, and Blu-ray Disc creation suite.
proDAD’s Mercalli video stabilization product has long been a favourite of video professionals for removing “shake” from otherwise solid video in post-production. Until now, however, video professionals could only get proDAD’s video stabilization technology as a plug-in effect for NLE applications such as Sony Vegas Pro and other Windows® and Macintosh® NLEs. proDAD has taken its highly effective video stabilization technology and made it available in SDK form to allow software companies, including Sony Creative Software, to integrate proDAD’s highly refined video stabilization and rolling-shutter correction technology into their own products. The proDAD Mercalli SDK supports HD/SD video and offers extremely fast video analysis and preview of the stabilized/corrected video based on several different stabilization “profiles” and fast rendering with minimal artifacts. The Mercalli SDK also provides effective and fully automatic “rolling-shutter” compensation which corrects the wobble, skew, and jelled distortion often introduced with CMOS-type image sensors found in some digital camcorders and DSLR cameras when they are panned quickly.
Sony Creative Software’s Vegas Pro 10 is a complete video editing, audio production, and Blu-ray Disc/DVD authoring suite with advanced movie making features including Dolby® Digital 5.1 surround sound mixing and encoding, video compositing, color correction, and support for professional camcorders including RED, HDV, AVCHD, and even revolutionary XDCAM broadcast formats. Its highly intuitive timeline-based workflow and helpful “show me how” tutorials make it a snap to produce stunning video productions in a few simple steps with precise creative control.
"The addition of a shaky video ‘rescue’ and rolling-shutter correction tool in Vegas Pro 10 gives our professional users a simple solution for removing shake and rolling-shutter distortion from otherwise great video, right on the Vegas Pro 10 timeline" said Dave Chaimson, Vice-President of global marketing for Sony Creative Software. "It’s not always possible to shoot on sticks so being able to correct video footage ‘post-capture’ means our users can focus on capturing the action, knowing Vegas Pro 10 has the tools to make their productions shine. The proDAD solution was simply the best all-around solution we evaluated.”
Information & Availability:
Sony Creative Software’s Vegas 10 Pro including the proDAD video stabilization technology will be available starting October 11, 2010 for £452.99 MSRP from popular Pro Video retailers/resellers or from http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/.
proDAD recently announced and began delivering advanced Mercalli V2 technology in new Mercalli V2 Pro plug-in solution supporting Vegas Pro 10 and other popular Windows® and Macintosh® NLEs.

PARAGON SOFTWARE® INTRODUCES INDUSTRY’S HIGHEST PERFORMANCE CROSS-PLATFORM TECHNOLOGY FOR LINUX-BASED PCs AND NETWORK DEVICES – NTFS AND HFS FOR LINUX® 8.1 COMBO PRO
First Technology to Combine Full Read/Write access to both Mac OS X and Windows Files
FREIBURG, Germany, September 9, 2010 — Paragon Software Group (PSG), the technology leader in innovative data security and data management solutions, today announced the release of Paragon NTFS and HFS for Linux® 8.1 Combo Professional, the industry’s highest performance Kernel driver for NTFS and HFS+ file systems with advanced read and write operations for all types of files — including NTFS compressed files — that could be accessed and manipulated in both sequential and random orders on disk partitions of up to 25 Tb and more. Tested on Linux Kernels up to 2.6.33, NTFS and HFS for Linux 8.1 Combo Pro demonstrates read and write performance similar to Linux native Ext3FS with up to 80 MB/sec read/write speed and is the most advanced cross-platform technology available. Based on Paragon’s unique Universal File System Driver (UFSD) technology, NTFS and HFS for Linux 8.1 Combo Pro was developed to break barriers between non-compatible operating systems to create a seamless environment, even when encountering differences in operating systems and file types.
In addition to a 40 percent performance gain on NTFS file system (compared to the previous version), the new 8.1 edition offers full read/write support for HFS+ and HFSX, the native Mac OS file system, and allows to create and repair HFS+ volumes under most popular distributions of Linux based on latest Kernels (up to 2.6.33). It was proven that NTFS driver developed by Paragon Software Group is more robust than native Microsoft NTFS drivers — for example, Paragon’s driver is capable of handling files that are fragmented beyond limits of Microsoft’s NTFS drivers for Windows operating systems. Paragon HFS+ for Linux is the only driver that supports native HFS+ Journal, providing the highest level of reliability and performance.
“Paragon NTFS and HFS for Linux® 8.1 Combo Pro is the industry’s fastest, most stable and reliable tool for all those who want to share, back up, modify or copy large data files such as pictures, videos or any other documents between Linux and Windows or Linux and MacOS X,” commented Konstantin Komarov, CEO. "The easy-to-use format enables Linux-based PCs and network devices to have full read/write access to Windows NTFS and Mac HFS-formatted drives without having to use special commands to gain access to files of any size or type."
Key Features of Paragon NTFS and HFS 8.1 Combo Express include:
• Technical support from Paragon which is particularly useful in case of installation problems since Linux Kernel has myriads of different configurations and it is virtually impossible to test the product on every configuration that may exist on user’s PC.
• Format volumes as NTFS and HFS+
• Check NTFS/HFS+ volumes for errors and repair them
• Defragment NTFS volumes
• Backup data from с NTFS volumes to other file systems while preserving NTFS-specific data and attributes like file encryption and compression, alternate data streams, NTFS ACLS (permissions) and so on, as well as restore data from backup to NTFS volumes (cpntfs utility).
Paragon’s NTFS and HFS for Linux 8.1 Combo Professional is available for USD 39.95 (Buy Now!), EUR 29.95 (Buy Now!) or GBP 25.95 (Buy Now!). The technology is also available for licensing to manufacturers of data storage systems. For more information, please contact us at technology@paragon-software.com. Paragon’s NTFS and HFS for Linux 8.1 Combo Express is free of charge and can be downloaded at http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-linux-per/download.html.

• High data transfer rate.
• Full read/write access: modify existing files, delete files and create or copy new files.
• Supports any type or format files, even the compressed and very large ones.
• Easy to install: the driver is built and installed by easy-to-use script.
• Easy to use: mount any NTFS or HFS partition like a native one – no need to perform special commands to gain access.
• Non-Roman characters and languages: File and folder names in national languages, including Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Russian.
• Low utilization of system resources during data transfer.
• Unlimited maximum file/partition size (within Kernel and NTFS/HFS+ limitations).
• Unlimited fragmentation of NTFS files — beyond Microsoft’s NTFS driver limit.
