RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD. is satisfied to report the discharge of the RICOH GR IV, the most recent show of the high-end GR-series of compact cameras. Inside a compact, lightweight body, the camera harmonizes high-quality, high-resolution pictures with instinctive, responsive depiction operations, making it an fabulous choice in depiction photography, indeed for proficient photographers.
To assist improve the fundamental values of the GR-series — optimizing picture quality, responsiveness and movability — this most recent part of the arrangement is prepared with a total run of recently created primary components, counting focal point, picture sensor and imaging motor. It highlights a recently created APS-C-size picture sensor and a recently planned focal point to make strides picture quality whereas diminishing generally body profundity — a modern GR-series concept executed from its forerunner, the RICOH GR III. The recently introduced battery moreover makes a difference make strides battery life.
For more noteworthy operability and convenience, the network of this most recent, top-performing demonstrate has too been overhauled due to improved interface with communication gadgets and modern applications.
Main features
- Recently outlined, super-slim, high-performance GR lens
The GR IV joins a recently outlined GR Focal point 18.3mm F2.8, which harmonizes extraordinary imaging execution with a thin plan, whereas holding the 28mm point of see (comparable in the 35mm organize) and the huge F2.8 greatest gap of its forerunner. Comprising of seven optical components in five bunches, the most recent optics join glass-molded aspherical focal point components — counting a large-diameter component utilized as a last focal point — and high-refraction, low-dispersion glass components to convey high-contrast, high-resolution pictures with edge-to-edge sharpness, whereas minimizing twisting and chromatic aberration.
- High-quality, high-resolution images
To improve picture settling control, duplicate wealthy degree and update affectability, the GR IV harmonizes a recently planned, back-illuminated APS-C-size CMOS picture sensor for higher affectability and diminished clamor with an updated GR Motor 7 imaging motor. Much obliged to super-high-resolution pictures guaranteed by roughly 25.74 viable megapixels and moved forward picture preparing execution, the GR IV has been outlined to create uncommonly high-quality pictures wealthy in determination and degree. The camera moreover highlights the RICOH-original quickening agent unit, outlined to optimize the tall signal-to-noise proportion picture information captured by the picture sensor and convey it to the imaging motor, making it conceivable to guarantee beat affectability of ISO 204800 for super-high-sensitivity photography.
- More progressed unique SR mechanism
Thanks to the initially created SR (Shake Decrease) instrument built into the camera body, the GR IV viably compensates for camera shake at the time of screen discharge. Helped by the much-improved remuneration calculation, this five-axis instrument minimizes antagonistic impacts caused by pitch, yaw and roll amid ordinary shooting, as well as move shake amid large scale photography, by as much as six screen steps.*
- The recompense impact of pitch, yaw and roll: six shade steps in the center of a picture, or four steps at edges, measured in congruity with 2024 CIPA standards.
- Progressed AF framework with minimized start-up time and high-speed autofocus operation
The GR- IV’s recently outlined focal point barrel and optimized start-up arrangement decrease the start-up time to around 0.6 seconds — the most limited in GR-series history. This combination moreover diminishes the time required for exchanging to the Large scale shooting mode and amid focal point capacity activity, enormously improving the camera’s quick-shooting capabilities. The camera’s high-speed focal point driving component and the picture sensor’s high-speed information readout too guarantee high-speed centering operation and make strides autofocus accuracy. The autofocus speed in low-illumination ranges and the exactness and scope zone of the image-plane phase-matching AF framework have moreover been optimized to enormously move forward the GR IV’s generally AF performance.
- Compact, thin and useful body design
In arrange to progress the camera’s quick-shooting execution, the GR IV’s body has been altogether overhauled to be compact, thin and utilitarian — the components required in a preview camera. The body has been planned to be slimmer than that of ordinary GR-series models to guarantee a firm hold of the camera, whereas the thumb grasp on the camera’s back is molded to guarantee a tight but comfortable hold in the photographer’s hand. The format of control buttons and dials have been overhauled, whereas the mode alteration (ADJ) lever has been changed to a dial sort for ease of operation, making the GR IV more useful and available than ever some time recently. The camera’s body outline is made of a lightweight, high-rigidity magnesium combination to upgrade strength and unwavering quality amid shooting and carrying.
- Fast setting of the craved introduction mode best suited for a given subject
When the camera’s presentation mode is set to Program AE, the GR IV highlights a modern Program Auto Ex work, which permits the picture taker to right away move the presentation mode, with a basic turn of the front e-dial to Aperture-Priority AE, or that of the raise e-dial to Shutter-Priority AE. A Snap Distance-Priority AE (Sn) mode has been too included to the extend of selectable presentation modes. This modern mode permits the picture taker to capture pictures with an emphasized profundity of field, based on the combination of the subject’s remove in depiction shooting and a depth-of-field visual impact, to advance extend the choice of introduction mode.
- Modern Cinema mode included to the Picture Control work to grow the extend of visual expressions
In expansion to the 12 routine impact modes of the Picture Control work, the GR IV presently highlights a modern Cinema mode (with a choice of yellow or green tone), permitting the picture taker to reproduce a wealthy, stately air with the visual impact of nostalgic film-format motion pictures of yesteryear. In expansion to essential parameters such as Immersion, Tint, Key, Differentiate and Grain Impact,* this modern mode too lets the client alter two other parameters –quality and estimate — to the craved level, making it conceivable to make more different visual expressions and select the wanted wrapping up touch best suited to a captured picture. User-selected settings can be included to the Picture Control menu as a custom mode.
- Selectable Picture Control modes: Monotone, Delicate Monotone, Difficult Monotone, High-contrast B&W, Negative Film, Positive Film, Cinema (Yellow), Cinema (Green)
- Bluetooth® and remote LAN double communication
The GR IV gives a dual-communication framework combining Bluetooth® and remote LAN for simple matching with versatile gadgets such as smartphones and tablet computers. Solely outlined for the RICOH GR arrangement, a unused GR WORLD application streamlines a assortment of communication operations, counting picture information exchange to a smartphone, farther screen discharge from a smartphone, and exchange of the camera’s area information to a keen device.
- High-definition LCD screen with exceptional open air visibility
The GR IV highlights a 3.0-inch high-definition LCD screen with around 1,037,000 specks. It joins an discuss gapless development, in which uncommon tar is set between the monitor’s touch-screen board and the defensive cover made of strengthened glass, to successfully diminish the reflection and scattering of light for moved forward perceivability amid open air shooting.
The Open air Screen Setting work guarantees extraordinary perceivability in both shinning open air and dull indoor areas. This work moreover highlights the modern Auto setting, which naturally alters the monitor’s brightness level based on the lighting condition of the given location.
- Other features
An anti-stain, antistatic coating recently connected to the UV/IR-cut channel put in front of the picture sensor, in expansion to the ordinary ultrasonic vibration component, to make strides the clean evacuation execution of the DR II (Tidy Evacuation II) mechanism
Full HD Motion picture recording (1920 x 1080 pixels, 60 outlines per moment) in the H.264 recording format
Customization of capacities assignable to the front and raise e-dials and introduction remuneration button in a chosen introduction mode, in expansion to the customization of those assignable to the ADJ dial and Fn button
