The Ricoh GR IV builds on the legacy of one of photography’s most beloved compact series, combining professional-grade performance with unmatched portability. Weighing in at just 262 grams, it’s an ideal companion for street photographers, travelers, and creators who value speed, discretion, and image quality.
At its core is a 25.7-megapixel back-illuminated APS-C sensor, powered by the advanced GR ENGINE 7 image processor. This new pairing delivers stunning image clarity, even in low-light conditions, while minimizing noise and maximizing detail. The fixed 18.3mm f/2.8 GR lens (28mm full-frame equivalent) has been newly redesigned to enhance edge-to-edge sharpness and reduce distortion, ensuring crisp results from every frame.
One of the GR IV’s standout features is its five-axis shake reduction system, a first for the GR lineup, offering reliable handheld shooting and reducing blur in challenging lighting scenarios. Ricoh also introduces a new Snap Distance-Priority AE mode, designed to deliver sharp focus at pre-set distances—perfect for fast-paced street work.
Startup time is blazing fast at 0.6 seconds, allowing you to capture fleeting moments instantly. For video creators, the GR IV includes a new Cinema Mode, applying film-like grain, tones, and color profiles that give footage a nostalgic and artistic feel.
The camera features a 3-inch HD LCD display with an Outdoor Monitor mode for improved visibility in direct sunlight. Built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support seamless connectivity through the GR WORLD mobile app, enabling easy sharing and remote control functionality.
Constructed from magnesium alloy, the GR IV is durable yet light, with a refined grip for added comfort during extended shooting sessions. Other thoughtful enhancements include 53GB of internal storage, anti-stain coatings on the lens, Full HD video recording, and extended battery life for all-day shooting.
Available now for pre-order, the Ricoh GR IV begins shipping this September. Compact, intuitive, and powerful—the GR IV is more than just a camera; it’s a creative companion built for everyday excellence.
