GPS-Compass-Camera G700SE
Knowing “when” a picture was taken is always important, but how about “where” and “in which direction”? GPS coordinates in the EXIF-header of the image can help to attach images related to their location. Questions like “Where was this picture taken?” as well as “I know someone took pictures of this site, where are they?” can be easily answered once location information is stored with each picture.
The G700SE comes with a GPS-Compass device. An horizontal accuracy of +/- 10ft enable precise positioning and gapless documentation of any situation possible. The integrated compass has an accuracy of +/- 3 degrees.
For surveying accuracy, you can connect the RICOH G700SE to external GPS or laser range finder devices via Bluetooth.
Adding text attribution
The Memo-function of the G700SE extends the image information through the additional option of adding additional attribute information (audio, text, etc.) in the field. A choice of 99 user-defined text-attributes organizable in 10 categories can be stored in each image. Using alta4’s software to extract that information, adds great value to the workflow: images can later be renamed or moved to folders based on the information entered in the field.
Internal Bluetooth and wireless LAN functions
Storing and processing images on business servers, distribution information within a few images, no matter from where - wouldn’t this be nice. It is.
The ability to do high-speed data communication with a wide range of Bluetooth®-compatible devices makes it possible for the G700SE to receive position data from highly precise GPS devices, transmit image data to compatible personal computers and smartphones, etc. The camera body has an internal wireless LAN (802.11b/g) function. This function supports the “WPS button connection” for easy wireless LAN connection settings. The G700SE can also transmit images via wireless LAN while receiving GPS data from Bluetooth®-compatible external GPS devices.
As one of very few devices on the market, the G700SE can simulatiously connect to two devices via Bluetooth, i.e. to an external GPS and to a Laser Range finder such as the TruePulse 200 or 360.
Robustness
Through an elegant and compact design combined with a net weight of 286g. With the GPS attached, the G700SE satisfies IP64 dust and water resistance performance standards and shock resistance standards for a 1.2 m drop. It even resists the removal of stains with ethanol- and chlorine-acids. Additionally the waterproof body prevents the camera from water and moisture infiltration.
