About this product
Achieving the ultimate in monochrome expressionThe RICOH GR IV Monochrome is exclusively designed for monochrome photography. With the exceptional image quality, quick response, and outstanding portability that the GR series is known for, the GR IV Monochrome incorporates a monochrome-dedicated image sensor. By eliminating the color filter used to acquire color information, as well as the interpolation process required to generate color images, the camera can fully draw out the capabilities of the high-performance GR lens, delivering refined rendering and rich tonal gradation.The built-in red filter enables more distinctive monochrome photography, and new Image Control options - dedicated to monochrome imaging - provide deep and diverse monochrome expressions.Language InformationThe GR IV Monochrome will launch with regional language support in English, Spanish, and French.Monochrome Image Sensor - Faithful light capture with Monochrome-dedicated CMOS image sensorWith the pursuit of the ultimate monochrome expression, the camera incorporates a monochrome-dedicated APS-C CMOS image sensor. The brightness information acquired by each pixel is applied directly to images without interpolation processing. This achieves nuanced detail, high resolution, and exceptional reproduction of tones for outstanding monochrome rendering.Monochrome Image Processing - GR ENGINE 7To maximize the performance of the monochrome-dedicated image sensor, a new image- processing engine was developed. It performs none of the interpolation processing that is indispensable in color image sensors, allowing it to make full use of the brightness information captured by each pixel. This delivers high-definition and nuanced detail as well as rich tonal depth.Monochrome Design - Unified overall color and texture evokes the world of black-and-white photographyThe magnesium-alloy body, as well as the shutter release button and ring cap, are finished in matte black, with subdued sheen, deep texture, and a soft tactile feel. The semi-gloss black front GR logo, the white illumination of the power button, and other design details express the monochrome worldview throughout the camera.Built-in Red Filter - Contrast control with built-in Red FilterRed filters can produce images with strong visual impact, for example, by darkening the tones of a blue sky to enhance contrast with clouds, or by rendering red subjects brighter to make them stand out more clearly. A red filter incorporated within the lens unit enables expanded image expression through the use of color even in monochrome photography. Intuitive User Interface - An Intuitive Gateway to MonochromeFunctions you will want to use most in monochrome shooting are placed where they can be accessed most directly and comfortably. The Fn button is assigned to switching the red filter on and off. The down button of the direct keys is assigned to Image Control which unlocks a wide range of monochrome renderings.High Image QualityWhen every ray of light is captured to its limit, a compelling drama emerges. The imaging system is engineered exclusively for monochrome photography.Optics That Truly Shine in Monochrome F2.8 GR LensThe camera features the 18.3mm (28mm in 35mm equivalent focal length) F2.8 GR lens. While inheriting the established design philosophy and incorporating successive advances in optical technology, the lens employs a 5-group 7-element construction, with a large, aspherical high-precision molded glass lens added as the final lens. To fully realize the performance of this lens, the imaging system has been optimized specifically for the monochrome-dedicated GR. The monochrome-dedicated image sensor is not equipped with a color filter and performs no interpolation processing, enabling the GR lens's outstanding optical performance to be captured in its entirety. The result is exceptional resolution extending to the edges of the frame, rich gradation, and low distortion. The true potential of the GR lens is fully revealed in monochrome.Faithful Light Capture - Monochrome-Dedicated CMOS Image SensorTo pursue the highest level of monochrome expression, a dedicated image sensor was developed. It does not use a color filter to acquire color information; instead, each pixel captures the brightness information of the subject and directly translates it into a monochrome image.

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.
