Ricoh GR III Digital Camera - Diary Edition

The Ricoh GR III Digital Camera - Diary Edition is a compact camera that offers a range of features for high-quality photography. It features a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor, which delivers detailed and sharp images.
The camera is powered by the GR Engine 6, which enables fast image processing and improved overall performance. The lens has a fixed focal length of 28mm, which is equivalent to a full-frame focal length, providing a wide-angle perspective. It includes a built-in highlight diffusion filter that helps to soften highlights and reduce harsh contrast in images.

The camera's 3-axis shake reduction system helps to minimize camera shake and produce sharp images, even in low-light conditions or when using slower shutter speeds. It features a 3.0" 1.037m-dot touchscreen LCD that allows for easy and intuitive operation, including touch autofocus and touch shutter control. The camera can record full HD 1080/60p videos, enabling high-quality video recording. It offers 35mm and 50mm focal length crop modes, which allow for different perspectives and shooting styles.

The camera has a hybrid AF system and a macro mode for precise focusing and close-up photography. It is equipped with Bluetooth LE and Wi-Fi capabilities, enabling wireless connectivity and easy file transfer to a smartphone or tablet. The camera includes a USB-C port and an SD card slot for convenient data transfer and storage. The Ricoh GR III Diary Edition has a textured metallic surface, providing a unique and stylish look. It features a special power-off graphic and power-off information display, adding a personalized touch to the camera's interface. The enhanced smartphone integration allows for seamless control of the camera, remote shooting, and easy sharing of images.

Product Features in Detail

Ricoh GR III Digital Camera - Diary Edition
Making everyday life friendlier and familiar, the RICOH GR III Diary Edition camera features a metallic, warm-gray finish. The appearance and surface texture have been designed to reflect the camera’s reliability and quality and gives the camera an appearance that it is more than an imaging tool, with the warm color helping the camera blend more easily into daily life.  This camera debuts a new image-control mode that provides a negative-film finishing touch and features an original shut-down screen graphic with an embossed product logo against a fabric-textured background.
The GR III Diary Edition includes the GR III camera in the special metallic, warm-gray finish and a natural-silver ring cap that is exclusive to this model.

High resolution and high contrast. Introducing the sharp imaging of the newly developed GR lens
The GR lens with a new lens construction was developed for even better image quality. This lens uses a slim optical system with six elements in four groups while maintaining the 18.3 mm (35 mm format equivalent: 28 mm) focal length and brightness of F2.8. High-refractive index, low dispersion glass and aspherical high-precision molded glass lenses are optimally placed in the lens construction to suppress distortion and chromatic aberration to the absolute limit, delivering a high level of sharpness. This results in images that are sharp and clear across the entire frame even from the widest aperture setting.

NEW The detailed descriptive power of the 24.2 M large APS-C size image sensor
This model is equipped with a high-resolution, wide dynamic range APS-C size CMOS image sensor (approx. 24.24 effective megapixels). It has approximately 1.5 times the pixels of the GR II and an anti-aliasing filterless construction that utilizes the characteristics of the high-resolution lens for high-definition detail reproduction. Both the image sensor and lens are also optimized for the best possible image quality.

NEW Advanced image processing and responsiveness. Meet the new GR ENGINE 6
The imaging processor on this model is the new GR ENGINE 6. It elevates the essential high image quality performance of the GR for an even greater level of detail. Faster processing makes a high pixel count image sensor and multi-level gradation in 14-bit RAW possible. This also contributes to improved responsiveness and functionality for autofocus and movie.

NEW Shooting at ISO 102400 is possible with our original signal processing technology
A high-performance processor “Accelerator Unit” has been adopted on this model as a powerful way to support high image quality. The signal output by the image sensor is sent to the image processor after being optimally handled. This reduces noise, delivering superb resolution and color reproduction across the entire sensitivity range. It also makes it possible to shoot at ISO 102400.

NEW 3-axis, 4-step Shake Reduction for high image quality across a wide shooting range
Camera shake is reduced for crisp images even when taking split-second snapshots. Shake Reduction is installed while making the body size of the GR III more compact than its predecessor model. It minimizes the shake on three axes, including yaw, pitch and roll. Compensation effects deliver as many as 4 steps of shutter speed*.
*CIPA standard.

NEW AA filter simulator for reducing false colors and moiré thanks to Shake Reduction mechanism
The effects of the optical anti-aliasing (AA) filter are obtained with Shake Reduction. Moving the image sensor slightly during the exposure suppresses false colors and moiré. You can choose whether to prioritize resolution or reducing false colors and moiré depending on your subject. Choose [High] or [Low] for effect settings.
● Sufficient functionality may be achieved when the shutter speed is slower than 1/1000 second.

AA Filter Selector
Thanks to the built-in SR system, by using the microscopic vibration of the image sensor unit during image exposure, generates the same level of moiré-reduction effect as optical AA (anti-aliasing) filter. Unlike fixed optical AA filters which always creates the identical result, this innovative simulator allows the user to adjust the level of the moiré-reduction effect from OFF, Type1 and Type2. Bracketing of all those settings is also possible. Depending on your subject, you can chose high resolution shooting or AA filtered shooting.
