Everyday Scenes Made Ethereal. There is a lot that is identical between this camera and the standard Ricoh GR IV and one of those features is the lens. Both are 28mm-equivalent with a fast maximum aperture of f/2.8. In the HDF edition, you get the benefit of a built-in high diffusion filter for dreamlike scenes with surreally-soft highlights. In Macro Mode, the GR IV HDF boasts close focusing distances of 2.4 to 4.7" and built-in crop modes simulate 35mm and 50mm fields of view, eliminating the need for extra lenses.

Physical Design and Power. On the body of the camera is a rear Fn button that has been renamed HDF for this particular model. This is where you can toggle the effect on and off as desired. The shutter release button is silver (the base model has a black button) but otherwise the body of the HDF version is the same as the GR IV. There’s 53GB of internal memory along with a microSD card slot. The DB-120 battery lasts for approximately 250 shots and the integrated USB-C port allows for in-camera battery charging and data transfer. This camera lacks a viewfinder but the 3" LCD touchscreen promotes increased visibility outdoors thanks to its air gapless design, and is even brighter when the Outdoor Monitor Setting function is on.

Improved Autofocus, Wide ISO Range. Thanks to a revamped processor, the AF performance in the GR IV set is faster with improved face recognition. Low-light focusing is also faster and more accurate and is aided by a native 160-204,800 ISO range. Further rounding out this feature set is a 5-axis Shake Reduction system. Though designed mainly for photography, you can also shoot 1080p video with this camera.

GR Accessories Available. Amp up your image capture with an array of GR-compatible accessories! Available separately, the GR IV Monochrome accepts the GA-1 and GA-3 lens adapters, the GW-4 Wide Conversion Lens (when used with GA-3 adapter), and the GF-2 External Flash.
