Digital Compass
The digital camera RICOH 500SE is available with an integrated compass. Especially on open terrain where you naturally do not have a lot of orientation spots, the recording direction is an important information. A lot of times various objects are photographed from almost the same position to save time when working in open terrain. That might be the case when you are mapping trees, where the targeted objects are widely apart from each other. Another typical scenario is sign mapping. The traffic signs are usually photographed from a central point of the crossway to have the best possible view of the object. In these cases the direction from which the picture was taken is essential information for identifying the object when working on it later in the office. The RICOH 500SE with integrated GPS and digital compass automatically determines the direction from which the picture has been taken. The digital compass is already calibrated when shipping the camera and is activated by turning the camera on. The photograph direction is visible on the display as a degree value (0-360°) as well as a token (e.g. SSW) The software GPS PhotoMapper for integrating your pictures into ArcGIS reads the EXIF header and automatically transfers the information to the map. The photograph direction is displayed by an arrow pointing in the according point of the compass. The horizontal tilt can also be captured with the digital compass.
