3.34-megapixel CCD delivers ultra-high resolution.
The RDC-i700's state-of-the-art CCD produces images every bit as sharp as large-size film prints. You'll be able to get all the detail - even text and figures on the flip-board at a meeting.

3X optical zoom for extra flexibility.
Thanks to the RDC-i700's optical zoom function, which covers a range equivalent to that of a 35mm - 105mm film-camera, you can capture your subject from any angle.


Macro capture function with close-ups as near as 1cm (0.4 inches).
Using the RDC-i700's own Web browser, you can view the images you've just uploaded, and make sure they're displayed just right. You can also use the browser for regular Web-surfing and other information-gathering when you're on the move and away from your office PC.

Text mode for capturing documents.
Text mode (black-and-white binary image capture) offers enhanced image quality and enables you to capture small print and other fine detail with greater clarity. In business, the ability to photograph documents crisply can help you make things happen.

Motion Picture mode for "movies" and Voice Memo mode for sound annotation.
Sound annotation and motion pictures will add an extra dimension of realism to your images. The RDC-i700 captures "movies" in AVI (Motion JPEG) format, and records sound in WAV format. For extra impact, stills can be annotated with sound


E-mailing your images couldn't be easier.
Once you've captured your images, there's no need to rush back to the office to send them from your PC. With the RDC-i700, you can e-mail your image files (taken in Still, Text, Motion and Voice Memo modes) just by pressing a few buttons. Up to 50 e-mail addresses can be stored in the on-board memory.

Use the FTP Upload function to upload images
With the RDC-i700, your freshly captured images can be online sooner than you ever thought possible. Using the automatic HTML File Creation function, just incorporate your images into a prepared HTML template. It's then a simple matter to upload the file to your web site using the FTP Upload function.

Surf the Web.
Using the RDC-i 700's own Web browser, you can view the images you've just uploaded, and make sure they're displayed just right. You can also use the browser for regular Web-surfing and other information-gathering when you're on the move and away from your office PC.

Send images straight to your PC using the
Direct Upload function.
If your office PC is connected to a modem, you can dial that modem directly from the RDC-i700, and transmit image files to your PC over the telephone line, instead of going via the Internet.
* Note: To do this, dial-up server software for the appropriate OS will need to be installed on your PC.

Transmit images directly to a fax machine.
Images captured on the RDC- i700 can also be transmitted directly to a fax machine.
* Note that only images taken in Text Mode can be faxed.

Use the expansion slots to add even more capabilities.
The RDC-i700 has one PC card slot, and one CF(Compact Flash) card slot, both Type II. Mobile phone, Modem, LAN, and ATA cards are supported, so you can easily add extra communications capabilities and storage media.

JOB Navi. function: your virtual assistant.
Shoot your images in order, and let the camera keep track of them.

Here's a handy feature that can help you take on the biggest jobs with ease. Using one of the sample template files in Microsoft Word or Excel included on the Software CD supplied, build an Image Capture Guide List and transfer it to the RDC-i700. As you shoot the images according to your list, the camera keeps track of each one. Then, when your images are transferred to your computer, they link up again with the source file. Your final document builds itself, automatically.(Windows only)



Auto-generate HTML files and get your images online quickly and easily.

By selecting captured images and simply slotting them into an HTML template, you can generate a complete HTML file very rapidly. This file can then be uploaded to your web site using the RDC-i700's FTP Upload function.



Create and play back powerful multimedia presentations.

Once you've captured your images, you can edit them on the RDC-i700. Select the desired files you want in the memory. Specify file order and playback time. These are just a few of the easy-to-use editing functions at your disposal. When you're done, play back the presentation on the RDC-i700's own LCD screen, or alternatively, connect the unit to a TV monitor.



Large touch-screen LCD.
The 3.5-inch color touch-screen LCD makes it easy to view and manipulate data. High-resolution images can be checked in detail. Operate the touch-panel using the stylus pen supplied. Use the Tool Palette to annotate images in handwriting, or use the On-screen Keypad to enter notes in font text.


Folder management facility.
To keep your image files organized for easy access, you can create new folders in the RDC-i700. Each newly captured image will be stored automatically in the folder you specify. You can change these folder names on your PC using the Explorer Plug-In or the RDC-i700 Mounter software supplied.


Control the RDC-i700 from your PC web browser.
To improve on the operability of the RDC-i700, connect it to your PC* and open the PC's web browser. The images in the RDC-i700 can then be handled from the browser screen, and even copied on to your hard disk drive. Your PC monitor will allow captured images to be viewed at actual size, and the PC's larger screen and full-size keyboard make it even easier to adjust the camera settings, make backups, capture images, and carry out all sorts of other operations.
* This feature supports Macintosh computers and PCs connected via LAN, USB or RS-232C port.
* USB connection is limited to PCs with Windows 98/2000 pre-installed or Macintosh with MacOS 8.6 or later. (USB service 1.1 or later).


Image files in the RDC- i700 can be handled using Explorer (on Windows) or Finder (on Mac).
The RDC-i700 is supplied with the Explorer Plug-In for Windows, and a software package called the RDC-i700 Mounter for the Mac. Install the appropriate software on your PC, and you will then be able to treat the RDC-i700 as if it were a disk on your computer -use Explorer or Finder to move and copy image files.

* Note that files cannot be saved, copied or moved via applications.
