Ricoh GR IIIx Urban Edition Camera

• About the RICOH GR IIIx Urban Edition

With identical features to the GR IIIx, this special edition of the popular pocket camera for street photography enthusiasts features a spectacular metallic grey finish, a blue ring on the lens thread (the black ring from the original model is also included) and the GC-11 case, made of natural leather and with a magnetic closure

• About the GR IIIx RICOH

For the first time in the GR series, RICOH has equipped its camera with a 40mm f2.8 lens. This newly developed luminous fixed lens moves away from the traditional 28mm f2.8 of the GR III and previous models and brings a new point of view closer to that of a standard focal length and therefore to the field of view of the human eye

The new lens features two aspherical elements to minimise distortion and chromatic aberration, while minimising flare and ghosting in backlit shots

Macro mode allows you to shoot just 12 centimeters from the front end of the lens

Built-in neutral density (ND) filter to close the aperture in two steps and capture high-contrast, high-resolution images

Nine-blade diaphragm, capable of delivering a natural bokeh effect and a true sense of depth

APS-C size CMOS image sensor with 24.24 effective megapixels, without low-pass filter (AA) and with GR ENGINE 6 image engine

Capture 14-bit RAW images, with in-camera development capability. It retains the settings after the development is complete, making it possible to re-edit the already developed image more efficiently

Sensitivity up to ISO 102,400

A total of 11 basic image control modes allow you to easily adjust various parameters such as saturation, hue, key, contrast, and grain

Fast and effective hybrid focusing system that combines a contrast mechanism with phase detection AF

New functionality to detect the face or eye of the framed subject, which is indicated on the screen by the focus frame. In group photos it is possible to choose another main subject with a simple tap on the screen

Three-axis RICOH SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism based on three axes to stabilize the image and minimize shake by up to four EV steps. In addition, it allows you to automatically correct the horizon

The stabilization mechanism performs microscopic vibrations with sub-pixel precision to the image sensor during exposure, allowing the low-pass filter to be simulated, providing the same level of moiré reduction as an AA optical filter. It is possible to turn it on and off or adjust it to the desired level

3-inch high-definition touch monitor with approximately 1,037,000 pixels. Because it's touch-friendly, you can easily change the AF box or conveniently review and enlarge images

New monochrome mode for JPEG files. It allows you to fine-tune parameters in color images, such as filter effect, hue, contrast, and sharpness, so you can create monochrome images with the desired finishing touch

Image rotation function in 0.1 degree steps

Equipped with Wi-Fi for easy pairing with your phone or tablet using the free and official Image Sync app. It is possible to send the captured images to the device, view the live image on the mobile screen, change parameters and shoot remotely. It is also possible to upload photos to social networks. All this on the go and without having to go through the computer

New Auto Resize feature, which reduces the size of the image before sending it over Wi-Fi via the Image Sync app

New DOF Priority mode to prioritize aperture through automatic sensitivity control, a feature inherited from PENTAX DSLRs

Moiré Effect Correction Function During Image Playback

Electronic level to check the camera tilt

Time-lapse composition mode, effective for capturing landscapes in the wake of the Moon and stars

The new GR IIIx uses the same DB-110 rechargeable battery as the GR III, which is included with the camera

Measures 109.4 x 61.9 x 35.2 millimeters and weighs 262 grams with battery. It's only 2 millimeters thicker than the GR III and weighs only 5 grams more

Included with the GR IIIx: DB-110 battery, adapter and power cable, USB-C cable, hand strap, GN-2 lens ring (black) and hot shoe cap
