Features you'll like

  

· Compact and light weight: Ricoh 500G is so small that you can carry it in your pocket with ease. Nevertheless 
it's a GREAT camera with up-to date features packed.  

· Electric eye: The built-in CdS electric eye automatically sets correct lens opening for optimum result at any 
time. Also manual lens-opening setting is possible if you so desire.

· Coupled Rangeflnder: Just bring two images together for a crisp, detailed photo. The parallax correction mark 
will help to prevent an accidental cropping of subject.  

· Single-stroke Film wind lever: One motion advances film, cocks shutter, counts exposure and prevents double 
exposure.
