Ricoh GR
The newly developed GR lens achieves the GR series' best shooting performance in the world's smallest camera body.
This model is equipped with the wide-angle 28mm equivalent in the 35mm format GR LENS 18.3mm F2.8, which achieves both a compact size and high performance. Using uncompromising design with a superior fixed focal length of 28mm, sharp, skillful depictive performance is available from the maximum aperture f2.8.
Sharp depictive performace all the way to the edges of the image, and beautiful defocusing effects.
In addition to a unique, newly developed lens construction, glass with high refractive index and low dispersion qualities were used, along with optimized placement of aspherical high-precision molded glass lenses for aberration removal to the utmost limits, even image quality and contrast from the center to the edges of the image, and high resolution. Coupled with a lens construction that reduces ghosting, and multi-coating on all surfaces, this lens possesses excellent resistance against backlighting. Of course distortion and chromatic aberration are reduced to an absolute minimum, for the best overall optical performance of any GR model. With sufficient aperture efficiency and a 9-bladed iris aperture, beautiful blurring effects to the edges of the image with minimal falloff are achieved. Also equipped with an ND filter that can be manually controlled for a wide range of photographic expression.
A large-format CMOS sensor for image quality equivalent to a DSLR.
Equipped with a high-sensitivity, wide dynamic range APS-C large-size CMOS sensor (Approx. 16.2 megapixels (camera effective pixels)). Improved shadow noise characteristics makes a routine high-sensitivity shooting at ISO 3200 possible (Max: ISO 25600). By making the camera low-pass filter-less, the excellent lens characteristics are used as-is, providing clear depiction all the way to the edges of the image. By designing the sensor and lens to be mutually optimized, and inclusion of a large-format sensor, the GR achieves a compact, slim body, appropriate to its namesake.
The newly developed GR ENGINE V, for remarkable image processing and expressive power.
To accommodate the newly designed APS-C size CMOS sensor, a new image processing engine, GR ENGINE V was developed. High-performance image processing algorithms suppress all types of noise, produce natural, sharp images, and suppress color saturation for specific colors that have the tendency to become saturated.
For even better image quality.
For even better image quality. With the white balance feature Multi-Pattern AUTO, compensation areas are compartmentalized, making it possible to optimize color reproduction even under multiple light sources. Additionally, with the Dynamic Range Compensation function, compensation on the pixel level is improved, and fringing of luminance borders is completely reduced. These facets come from the tireless pursuit of more faithful color reproduction, and making images look beautiful.
Start-up, shooting, shutdown - high-speed operation has been achieved in all facets.
1 second (approx.) high-speed start-up for instantaneous responsiveness. By optimizing the lens drive and AF algorithms, a high-speed AF of approximately 0.2 second focusing speed is possible in Contrast AF. Release time lag has been shortened to the absolute minimum. 4 fps sequential shooting. Even the pursuit of high-speed controls has not been overlooked by using a lens barrier mechanism so that it is no longer necessary to use a lens cap. With these features, you'll never miss another sudden photo opportunity.
The GR design hasn't changed, making high quality images available in a pocket-sized model.
A simple design that fits perfectly in the hand, with a grip that is easy to hold. Even though equipped with a large-format sensor about 8.9 times larger than the area ratio of the 1/1.7 type sensor, the GR design was emulated for a body size equal to that of the GR film camera. Magnesium alloy is used for the body material, making the camera lightweight and extremely tough. The GR is designed as a reliable and durable tool to meet the expectations and love of those who own it.
Full-featured AF functions, for a perfect match with your shooting style.
The rear of the camera is now equipped with an AF function switching lever and button. With a press of the lever, you can easily switch between Continuous AF, and AE/AF Lock. With your thumb you can switch from AF to Continuous AF, with the lever you can switch to AF Lock, and after AF lock with the AF button, you can switch to AE lock with a halfway press of the shutter release button, expanding your shooting possibilities. This model is also equipped with the Full-Press Snapshot function, for skipping AF and shooting at the set distance when pressing the shutter button all the way down at once. You will never again miss that moment that you want to capture. AE tracking speed has also been improved. This model will respond accurately even to fast camera work, making sure you'll always capture that important moment beautifully, at the correct exposure.
Never miss a moment with Full Press Snap.
This model is also equipped with Full Press Snap for high-speed sequential shooting at the set distance when pressing the shutter button all the way down at once. By selecting the focal distance beforehand (1 m, 1.5 m, 2 m, 2.5 m, 5 m, infinity), shooting can be completed without activating AF, for snapping away whenever the mood strikes and never missing a shot.
The high-resolution, 3.0 type, 1.23 million dot LCD screen is now easier to see, and tougher.
The LCD screen now uses a new protective cover. The screen is also equipped with an automatic brightness adjustment function, and can be relied upon even in punishing outdoor use. The screen also features beautiful and easy to read multi-tone scalable font characters, full-color for smooth graphic display, and a highly visible display for smooth shooting.
The GR is now equipped with a new, unique exposure mode, as well as shutter and aperture priority modes.
The TAv mode (shutter and aperture priority AE mode), which was traditionally only included on Pentax brand DSLR cameras, is now included as an exposure mode. In this mode, the ISO speed is automatically adjusted according to your preferred aperture and shutter speed settings. With these features, expressive performance is available that only a GR with vastly improved high-sensitivity qualities can deliver.
The aperture preview button lets you check the photo before you actually shoot it.
The new aperture preview button is located on the side of the camera body. With this button, you can check the depth of field before shooting. Not only can this be used from image setting effects, but it is also available from the third function button, continuing on from the conventional second function button.
Focus Assist and Move Target assist in more accurate focusing.
With these functions you can specify any portion of a subject to meter, and then lock the focus. You can also magnify a portion of the screen, emphasize outlines or contrast, and focus more accurately.
Equipped with an Electronic Level
The camera is equipped with a built-in Electronic Level. With this feature, you can check the inclination of the camera in the horizontal, forward and backward (tilt) directions while shooting. The level is displayed at the bottom of the screen, making composing a shoot and shooting easy.
Eye-Fi card link function, for easily importing images to smartphones.
Image import to smartphones and other devices is simple with an Eye-Fi card. You can check the connection destination, transfer selected images, and send two reduced sizes.

AF is also available while recording a movie. Effects can also be set for movies so that various creative expressions can easily be added.
Macro mode lets you shoot up to 10cm away from the end of the lens.
By using an overall feed system for minimal performance change due to shooting distance, sharp image quality and beautiful blurring effects are possible even at maximum aperture in macro mode. This model is also equipped with the Auto Macro function for shooting from 10 cm away from the end of the lens without switching to macro mode.
ND filter with manual and auto control.
The GR is equipped with an ND filter for use with maximum aperture (f2.8). The ND filter's ON/OFF settings can be used whether in manual or auto modes.
In-camera RAW developing is possible, for high-quality image processing without a PC.
Various adjustments to RAW images can now be made on the camera after shooting and saved as a new JPEG file. You can also apply image effects after processing is complete.
The 35mm Crop mode expands expressive capabilities.
This mode makes it possible to shoot at a 35mm equivalent focal length. Angles of view are divided by theme for an expanded realm of shooting expression.
The dedicated 21mm wide-angle conversion lens makes super wide-angle shooting possible.
This is a newly developed wide-angle conversion lens designed with GR lens properties in mind. This lens makes full use of the GR's mobility for super wide-angle photography.
Effect mode offers various ways to expand shooting expression.
In addition to the positive reputations of Positive Film Tone and Breach Bypass, Retro, High-Key, and Miniaturize have been added. Detailed settings are possible, expanding the possibilities of photographic expression even further. These effects can also be applied during in-camera RAW processing.
Full-featured Auto Bracketing.
Not only does this feature take care of exposure bracketing, but it brackets for various functions such as two types of white balance, effects, dynamic range correction, and contrast.
Interval Composite has been brushed up for even better performance.
Interval Composite, the popular function that continuously shoots a night sky for a specific interval, and then extracts and merges only highly bright image data for capturing the light trails of stars and the moon along with scenery, has been improved. Shortest, is available as a new interval setting, making it possible to connect even finer light trails. This function is not only available from M mode, but can be activated from Av, Tv, and TAv modes.
Multi-Exposure for enjoyable creative photography.
Multi-Exposure can merge up to five images. Detailed settings are possible such as the automatic adjustment of exposure amount for the number of shots, saving each image before merging, saving images each time they are merged, etc. Because images can be retaken right after they are shot, it is easy to create exactly the image you have in mind.
