Introduction

The Epson R-D1 offers the convenience of digital imaging technology

with the classic features of a traditional rangefinder camera to produce

high-quality photographs and an enjoyable shooting experience.

Traditional rangefinder design

If you are already familiar with rangefinder photography, you will be

up to speed in no time with the R-D1. If you are new to this type of

camera, you will quickly discover the benefits of time-tested

rangefinder design, such as:

❏Parallax-corrected bright-line frames within the viewfinder for

better composition

❏Unobstructed and clear view of a subject during exposure

❏Relatively silent and shock-free operations as compared to a single

lens reflex (SLR) camera

Wide variety of lenses available

The R-D1 is equipped with an EM mount, which accepts a wide variety

of M-type bayonet lenses originally introduced for film-based

rangefinder cameras. This opens up a world of possibilities with

hundreds of lenses to choose from, both vintage and contemporary.

With an adapter ring, L-mount lenses can also be used with the R-D1,

further enhancing its shooting potential.

Note:

The lenses you own and use on a film-based rangefinder camera may

produce unexpected results when used with the R-D1.

Life-size magnification

The R-D1 comes with a viewfinder with 1.0x magnification, so what

you see through the viewfinder is at the same size as seen with a naked

eye. Using both eyes you can easily see what is happening outside the

viewfinder. With the R-D1 you will focus more on what you are

shooting, not what you are shooting with.

Print optimized images

The pictures you take using the R-D1 can be saved in unprocessed RAW

format, which can be postprocessed for printing using the bundled

software. We at Epson believe that photographic images, be they

film-based or digital, are best expressed on printed media. The R-D1

reflects this philosophy.

Warnings, Cautions, and Notes

Observe the following while you read this manual:

wWarnings must be followed carefully to avoid bodily injury.

cCautions must be observed to avoid damage to your equipment.

Notes contain important information and useful tips on the operation of your

product.

Mounting and Removing Lenses

The camera accepts a wide variety of M-type bayonet mount

(M-mount) lenses. You can also use L-type screw mount (L-mount)

lenses by attaching a third-party adapter ring.

Incompatible Lenses

Certain lenses are not compatible with the camera due to physical

constraints:

❏Lenses that project more than 20.5 mm into the camera body.

These lenses cannot be used because they may touch the inner

parts of the camera. Some models known to be incompatible

include:

❏Hologon 15 mm F8

❏Super Angulon 21 mm F3.4

❏Super Angulon 21 mm F4

❏Elmarit 28 mm F2.8 (earliest model)

❏Summicron 50 mm (Dual Range Summicron)

❏Collapsible lenses.

However collapsible lenses such as the Hektor 50 mm F2.5 or the

Elmar 50 mm F3.5 can be used with the camera as long as the lens

barrel is not pushed into the camera body. Be very careful if using

these types of lenses.

❏Lenses that have an auxiliary viewfinder lens.

These lenses cannot be used effectively because the baseline length

is different from the one used for this camera.

Mounting an M-mount Lens

1. Align the dot on the lens with the red dot on the lens release button.

cCaution:

❏Do not touch the inner parts of the camera.

❏Beware of dust particles entering the camera body.

2. Insert the lens into the camera body, then turn the lens clockwise

until it clicks.

Removing an M-mount Lens

1. Press the lens release button and turn the lens body

counterclockwise.

2. Pull the lens straight out.

Mounting and Removing an L-mount Lens

For an L-mount lens, you need an optional M-bayonet adapter ring.

Attach the adapter ring to the lens, then install the lens on the camera

as you would an M-mount lens. When you want to remove the lens,

the procedure is the same as for an M-mount lens.

Selecting the Focal Length

You need to select the focal length of the mounted lens in order to

display the correct bright-line frame that indicates the field of view

covered by the lens. The automatic parallax correction feature allows

you to capture what you see in the selected bright-line frame. Turn the

frame selector lever to select 28 mm, 35 mm, or 50 mm to match the

focal length of the lens being used.

Determining the Effective Focal Length

The CCD sensor in this camera is an APS-C size, about 34% smaller

than the area covered by 35 mm film. This effectively increases the

working focal length of the attached lens by 1.53x to produce the

equivalent 35 mm focal length.

For example, if you use a 50 mm lens with this camera, the effective

focal length would be 50 × 1.53 = 76.5 mm. This is particularly helpful

when you are using a telephoto lens, because you can use a 200 mm

lens to achieve the same field of view of a 300 mm lens, which is heavier

and more expensive.

The focal length conversion table on the rear panel of the camera shows

equivalent 35 mm focal lengths of the lenses attached to the camera.

Turning the Camera On and Off

When you turn on the camera the first time, you need to set the current

date (month, day, and year) and time (hours and minutes) on the LCD

monitor. Once these settings are made, the camera automatically

records the date and time for each picture taken.

For instructions, see “Setting the Time and Date” on page 41.

cCaution:

Never turn off the power while the memory card access light is on. This

may cause data in the card to be lost or damaged, or render the memory

card unusable. Under certain circumstances, the memory card access

light may remain on for several seconds after taking a picture (for

example, if you turn on noise reduction and take a long exposure).

Taking a Picture

1. Make sure the camera is turned on and a memory card is installed.

2. Before taking a picture, you may need to adjust the white balance,

image quality setting, ISO sensitivity, exposure, and focus, as

described on the following pages.

3. When you are ready to shoot, push the shutter charge lever as far

as it will go to the right to cock the shutter.

Note:

The shutter charge lever can be left in the “ready” position when shooting

a series of pictures.

Setting Image Quality

Image quality determines the format in which the image is saved, the

size of the image as it will be displayed on a computer screen, and the

file size of image stored in a memory card. Select the image quality

according to how you plan to use the image data.

Image Format

Images can be saved in RAW format, JPEG format, or both file types at

the same time if RAW+JPG is selected as the Raw Setting in the

Settings menu (see page 35). To open or process RAW images, you need

to install the software on the CD-ROM that came with your camera.

Because they are uncompressed, RAW images take up a lot of storage

space, but are also well suited for image processing and printing on

paper. For more information, see “Opening RAW Images on Your

Computer” on page 38.

JPEG is a universal image format that can be viewed on most computers

without using proprietary software. Files saved in JPEG format are

compressed and smaller than those saved in RAW format. They do lose

varying degrees of picture quality when compressed, and are less

suited for postprocessing because resaving a JPEG file further degrades

its quality. JPEG format is fine for viewing on a regular computer screen

and can also produce good quality prints if saved in a high enough

resolution.

Set the image quality as follows:

1. Pull up and hold the Q/WB lever at the Q position.

2. Rotate the jog dial to select the desired image quality setting on the

status gauge:

* 13 MB if RAW+JPEG is selected as the RAW Setting in the Settings

menu. See page 35 for more information.

3. Release the Q/WB lever.

Setting Format Image Size File Size

R RAW 3,008 x 2,000 10 MB*

H JPEG (High) 3,008 x 2,000 3 MB

Setting ISO Sensitivity

The ISO sensitivity setting determines the camera’s sensitivity to

available light. As ISO sensitivity is increased, less light is required to

expose an image, which permits faster shutter speeds. This is helpful

for shooting fast moving subjects without blurring, but it also amplifies

any digital noises caught in an image, which can produce a picture with

a grainy appearance.

To set ISO sensitivity, pull up and rotate the outer ring of the shutter

speed dial to select 200, 400, 800, or 1600.

Setting the Exposure

You can set the exposure automatically or manually. Automatic

exposure is a convenient feature that works sufficiently under most

conditions. With manual exposure, you have more control over how

your pictures will be exposed.

Setting the Shutter Speed Automatically

Use the aperture priority automatic exposure (AE) feature to

automatically set the shutter speed for the selected aperture setting.

This is useful when you want to control the depth of field or to produce

special effects, or when you simply want to take point-and-shoot

snapshots.

The AE feature works sufficiently most of the time, but under certain

conditions you can also apply exposure compensation within the range

of +2 EV to -2 EV in 1/3 EV increments. You may, for example, increase

the compensation value by one notch (+1/3 EV) to overexpose a subject

standing in a bright background. Likewise, if your subject is too bright

for the background, you would lower the EV to underexpose the

subject.

Follow these steps:

1. To use automatic exposure, rotate the shutter speed dial to the AE

position.

2. If you need to select an exposure compensation setting, first release

the dial from the AE position by pressing the dial-lock release

button.

3. While holding the button down, rotate the dial to the desired

position.

Setting the Shutter Speed Manually

You can specify the shutter speed from 1 to 1/2000 sec., or B (Bulb).

To set the shutter speed, rotate the shutter speed dial to the desired

shutter speed value.

Note:

❏If the dial is in the AE position, press the dial-lock release button before

attempting to rotate it.

❏To avoid blurring, set the shutter speed faster than "1/focal length (mm)."

If using a slower shutter speed, the use of a tripod is recommended.

❏For brighter subjects, fast moving subjects or with a higher ISO

sensitivity, a higher shutter speed is recommended.

B (Bulb) Setting

The bulb setting is used for shooting night pictures or astronomical

objects. With this setting, the shutter stays open as long as the shutter

release button is depressed.

Note:

❏When you set NR (Noise Reduction) to Hi (High) in the Film Settings

screen and set the exposure at more than 2 seconds, noise reduction is

automatically performed after taking a photo. Do not turn the power off

until the SD card access light goes out. If you turn the power off before

the noise reduction procedure is complete, the image is saved without noise

reduction.

❏When taking photos in B shooting mode, use a tripod and shutter release

cable to prevent the picture from blurring. Install the cable as shown in

the illustration below.

Using a Flash

You can use an optional flash unit when shooting pictures under low

light conditions. The syncro speed of the flash is 1/125 second. Set the

shutter speed dial to 125 when using a flash.

For more information, see the documentation included with your flash.

Setting the Aperture

Rotate the lens aperture ring to the desired value.

For more information, see the documentation included with your lens.

Using the Light Meter

The camera has a built-in light meter that calculates the best shutter

speed for the amount of light available through the lens. Press the

shutter release button halfway to view the metered shutter speed (in

red) at the bottom of the viewfinder, then adjust the exposure settings

as needed.

The metered value is displayed in the range of 1 (1 second) through

2000 (1/2000 second). For any value higher than one second, 1 is

displayed in the viewfinder. Likewise, for values lower than 1/2000

second, 2000 is displayed in the viewfinder.

With Manual Exposure

When manual exposure is selected, the manually selected shutter speed

is lit and the metered speed flashes.

You can rotate the shutter speed dial and/or the aperture ring on the

lens to match the metered value, at which point only one shutter speed

will be displayed in the viewfinder. Or you can disregard the meter

reading and do your own exposure adjustments.

With Automatic Exposure

When AE is selected, the metered shutter speed is lit. If you are using

exposure compensation, the shutter speed flashes to indicate that it is

a compensated value.

Locking the Exposure Setting (AE-lock)

You can lock the exposure setting at the metered value using the

AE-lock button. This is useful, for example, when you create a single

panoramic picture from a series of images, to make sure they all have

the same level of exposure.

To lock the exposure setting, point to the subject when using the AE

mode and press the AE-lock button. The exposure setting remains

locked until the AE-lock button is released.

Focusing

The camera’s viewfinder has a magnification of 1.0x, which allows you

to keep both eyes open when focusing on your subject.

When focusing, keep your eye in the center of the rangefinder eyepiece

for the best result.

To focus on a subject, rotate the lens focusing ring until the

double-image converges in the center of the bright-line frame.

If a subject has a distinct vertical line (e.g., a tree or a tower), rotate the

focus ring until the lines merge into a single continuous line. This

usually produces sharper images as straight lines are easier to focus on.

❏If necessary, clean the battery contacts with a dry cloth.

Cleaning the CCD Sensor

If dark spots appear on the same place on all the pictures you take, there

may be dust particles on the CCD image sensor inside the camera. To

clean the CCD sensor, you need a hand blower and a cable shutter

release with a shutter lock feature.

cCaution:

❏Do not use blower cans that use compressed air.

❏Do not touch the sensor with your finger or a cloth. Doing so may

damage the sensor and may affect image quality.

❏Do not let the blower tip enter the camera body or touch the sensor

surface. The shutter or sensor may be damaged if the shutter is

accidentally released.

1. Remove the memory card from the camera.

2. Turn the shutter speed dial to B and attach the cable release.

3. Insert a fully charged battery and turn on the camera.

cCaution:

Do not use a low battery. If the battery dies and the shutter closes during

cleaning, the camera may be damaged.

4. Cock the shutter, then remove the lens or lens hole cover.

5. Lock the shutter open using the cable release.

6. Blow off the dust carefully using the hand blower.

7. After cleaning, unlock the cable release and close the shutter.

8. Attach the lens or lens hole cover and remove the cable release.
