Ricoh - GR IV HDF Digital Camera - Black

Designed to faithfully evolve the core values of the GR-series-high image quality, quick responsiveness, and portability- the RICOH GR IV is equipped with newly developed key components, including lens, image sensor, imaging engine and enhanced image stabilization. It delivers high-quality, high-resolution images with intuitive, responsive snapshot operation, making it an excellent choice for snapshot photography. The GR IV features a newly developed back-illuminated APS-C-size CMOS image sensor for higher sensitivity and reduced noise with the new GR ENGINE 7 imaging engine. The new GR lens delivers exceptional imaging performance. The newly designed lens barrel lens barrel and optimized start-up sequence reduce the start-up time to approximately 0.6 seconds- the shortest in GR-series history.For greater operability and usability, the connectivity has also been upgraded, with a dual-communication system combining Bluetooth and wireless LAN, plus operation with new applications. The GR IV's body has been thoroughly redesigned, offering enhanced performance in a compact and slimmer body, while layout of control buttons and dials have been redesigned, improving the camera's functionality. A new, high-capacity rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides improved battery life. A host of new accessories are available for the GR IV, including the new RICOH GF-2 External Flash. With a maximum guide number of 3 (at ISO 100/m), this super-compact, ultra-lightweight accessory flash unit provides an auto flash function when mounted on the camera. Features Newly designed, super slim, high-performance GR lens The GR IV incorporates a newly designed GR LENS 18.3mm F2.8, which delivers exceptional imaging performance with a slim design, while retaining the 28mm angle of view (equivalent in 35mm format) and large F2.8 maximum aperture. Consisting of seven optical elements in five groups, the latest optics incorporate glass-molded aspherical lens elements - including a large-diameter element used as a final lens - and high-refraction, low-dispersion glass elements to deliver high-contrast, high-resolution images with edge-to-edge sharpness, while minimizing distortion and chromatic aberration.High-quality, high-resolution imagesTo enhance image resolving power, reproduce rich gradation and upgrade sensitivity, the GR IV features a newly designed, back-illuminated APS-C-size CMOS image sensor for higher sensitivity and reduced noise with an upgraded GR ENGINE 7 imaging engine. With super-high-resolution images assured by approximately 25.74 effective megapixels and improved image processing performance, the GR IV produces exceptionally high-quality images rich in resolution and gradation.The GR IV also features the RICOH-original accelerator unit, designed to optimize the high signal-to-noise ratio image data captured by the image sensor and deliver it to the imaging engine, making it possible to assure top sensitivity of ISO 204800 for super high-sensitivity photography. More advanced SR mechanism The GR IV incorporates an updated version of the original SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism built into the camera body, enabling it to effectively compensate for camera shake at the time of shutter release. Assisted by a much-improved compensation algorithm, this five-axis mechanism minimizes adverse effects caused by pitch, yaw and roll during normal shooting, as well as shift shake during macro photography, by as much as six shutter steps. Advanced AF system with reduced start-up time and high-speed autofocus operation The GR IV's newly designed lens barrel and optimized start-up sequence reduces the start-up time to approximately 0.6 seconds-the shortest in GR-series history. This combination also reduces the time required for switching to the Macro shooting mode and during lens-storage action, greatly enhancing the camera's quick-shooting capabilities.The camera's high-speed lens driving mechanism and the image sensor's high-speed data readout also assure high-speed focusing operation and improve autofocus precision. The autofocus speed in low-illumination ranges and the precision and coverage area of the image-plane phase-matching AF system have also been optimized to greatly improve the GR IV's overall AF performance. Compact, slim and functional body design To improve the camera's quick-shooting performance, the GR IV's body has been redesigned to be compact, slim, and functional-key elements required in a snapshot camera.
