Ricoh GR IIIx Digital HDF Compact Camera

The Ricoh GR IIIx HDF Compact Camera adds the ability to capture beautiful mellow images with diffused highlights by activating a filter with a single click while retaining the sharp and bright 40mm lens. With the HDF's single-action toggle, users can seamlessly switch between two distinct visual styles – the trademark sharpness of the Ricoh GR series, and the soft, mellow tones achieved with the new HDF. This flexibility enhances your creative expression and pushes the boundaries of everyday snapshot photography. You can also select the Ricoh GR III HDF, which includes an equivalent 28mm wide angle lens, rather than the standard 40mm equivalent in the GR IIIx.

High-Resolution Images

The updated camera includes a large APS-C format CMOS sensor with the anti-aliasing (AA) filter removed, and the GR ENGINE 6 imaging engine. This combination provides high-resolution 24.24MP images at the best possible quality.
You can record images in 14-bit RAW for a wider dynamic range and enhanced editing options, and the accelerator unit has been designed to optimise image data providing ISO 102400 for super-high-sensitivity photography.

Hybrid AF System

For faster-than-ever focusing capabilities, the RICOH GR IIIx includes a hybrid AF system combining a contrast-type AF mechanism superior in focusing precision with a phase-detection-type AF. Ricoh has added Face and Eye detection with excellent results that are selectable in the touch-screen LCD.

HD Touchscreen LCD

The GR IIIx features a 3.0-inch high-definition LCD monitor with approximately 1,037,000 dots with intuitive operation to control AF frameshift, menu selection and image advance/magnification during playback. A protective cover made of reinforced glass effectively reduces reflections for improved visibility and there’s an outdoor setting to adjust monitor brightness.

Image Control Function

You can take creative control directly in the camera with 11 basic Image Control modes including saturation, hue, key, contrast and graininess. These can also be assigned to a custom setting for quick workflows.

Bluetooth And Wireless LAN

Wireless LAN provides easy pairing with mobile devices to transfer images, display a Live-View image and control the camera remotely using Ricoh’s Image Sync application. You’ll also get GPS data embedded from the mobile and Auto-resizing for quick image transfers.
