Guide

How the Ricoh shot-on frame works

What is a Shot on Ricoh Watermark?

A "shot on Ricoh" watermark adds the Ricoh (or Pentax) logo and your camera details to the bottom of your photo. Ricoh's GR series — particularly the GR IIIx and GR III — has a devoted street photography following. The watermark is used to credit these compact but capable cameras on social media and photography communities.

Ricoh also owns the Pentax brand, and older Pentax DSLRs write EXIF Make as "PENTAX." SHOTON supports both.

Ricoh / Pentax EXIF Notes

Ricoh cameras write EXIF Make as "RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD." while Pentax bodies write "PENTAX" or "PENTAX Corporation." SHOTON normalises all variants to the Ricoh logo. If you prefer to display the Pentax branding, type "Pentax" in the brand field in the EXIF editor — note that the visual logo will still be the Ricoh logo since Ricoh is the SHOTON-supported key.

Frequently Asked Questions

My Pentax K-3 III shows "PENTAX" in EXIF — will the Ricoh logo appear? Yes. SHOTON maps Pentax EXIF to the Ricoh brand key and applies the Ricoh logo.

Can I use SHOTON for Ricoh GR IIIx photos from the built-in in-camera JPEG engine? Yes. Ricoh GR cameras produce clean JPEGs with good EXIF data. Upload directly.

Does the 40mm equivalent focal length show correctly for the GR IIIx? The GR IIIx records the actual sensor-plane focal length (26.1mm) in EXIF. You can change this to "40mm equiv." in the EXIF editor.

Is this free? Yes, completely free.

Does this work on iPhone or Android? Yes. Upload a photo directly from your phone using the dropzone above, or tap Camera Mode to shoot with a live filter preview. SHOTON reads your camera brand from EXIF when available. For uploads from this page, Ricoh is suggested if no brand is detected; you can change the logo from Frame settings.
