Does the ring light work well as a standard flash
Does the ring light work well as a standard flash for nighttime/indoor photos as well?
The Ricoh PENTAX WG-8 Digital Camera (Green) (B&H# RIWG8GRN) features a set of six LEDs around the lens (which Ricoh collectively calls a "ring light") featuring nine brightness settings that can be set brightly enough for use at night or in typical indoor light at close distances. You can enable the ring light from the flash menu. Please select the ring-shaped icon at the bottom of the flash menu with six white dots in it to use that. We recommend reviewing pp.54-57 of the manual for more information about that setting as well as how to set the camera's white balance to record color accurately during its use. It is also possible to cause the ring light to be activated automatically when the camera detects a human face by going to the camera's menu, then Focus Mode, then Face Detection, and then either Assist or Assist+Smile. (The latter option requires the human subject to be smiling to release the shutter.) The manual is here:
