Photography enthusiasts, get ready! Ricoh has announced the latest addition to their GR series lineup, the new Ricoh GR IV HDF. This exciting new compact camera is packed with features designed to elevate your photography experience, and at its heart is the Highlight Diffusion Filter (HDF), a tool that brings a nostalgic, dreamy vibe to your shots with just a single touch. With its compact design, cutting-edge tech, and endless creative possibilities, the GR IV HDF is a must-see for anyone passionate about capturing the world through their lens.
Taking a closer look at the new Ricoh GR IV HDF, it offers the same exceptional image quality, flawless point-and-shoot operation, and outstanding portability that the GR series is known for, but expands with its built-in Highlight Diffusion Filter (HDF). This unique feature softens highlights and adds a subtle blur to the edges of your photos. Whether you’re looking to recreate the feel of classic film photography or add a cinematic touch to your shots, the HDF makes it happen with one simple press of the Fn button. This creative versatility expands the visual boundaries of snapshot photography, giving you the option to shoot high-resolution, high-contrast images with accuracy and precision, or softer, expressive images that create a sense of depth and emotion.
Next is the high-speed, electronically controlled shutter mechanism, capable of intentionally raising the shutter speed up to 1/16,000 second. This means you can shoot in extremely bright environments without compromising on aperture settings, giving you even more control over your compositions. For current GR IV users, this electronic shutter will be available via a firmware update, coming soon.Â
The GR IV HDF also features a little design refresh, with the shutter-release button now being a sleek greyish-silver that sets it apart from the standard GR IV model and symbolizes the camera’s ability to instantly shift the image’s visual expression. All these elements come together to create a camera that balances style, portability, and power.
