Street Edition | Ricoh GR III

• Unique "asphalt-like" surface textured camera body, which is achieved by a multi-layer spray process that provides a smooth-but-non-slippery feel.
• A striking yellow-orange, reminiscent of traffic lines, has been chosen as the accent colour on the camera’s ring cap.
• The Street Edition features a special power-off graphic with a street-like background and special logo.

Full Press Snap Feature

In addition to the cosmetic differences, the GR III Street Edition also includes a Full Press Snap feature, which lets you instantly shift the focus point of the lens to a preselected position when the shutter release button is fully pressed. This function can also be assigned to the rear LCD, where you simply tap the touchscreen to quickly change focus, and ignore the standard AF process, to help intuitively capture fleeting moments.

Firmware Expanded functionality

The GR III keeps evolving with the latest firmware updates. The expanded functionality firmware is provided to add new features and setting operations.

Flexible customization
Frequently used functions can be assigned to the ADJ lever and Fn button. Other controls can also be customized for fine-tuning camera operation, making the camera easier to use and to match your shooting style.

Image Control & JPEG image adjustment
The GR III features many selections of advanced image creation functions. Image adjustment parameters have been redesigned to 10 Image Control options for shooting. During playback, image tones of JPEG can be adjusted and saved as a new file.

24.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor and GR Engine 6

The Ricoh GR III Street Edition 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.

• Newly-developed GR ENGINE 6 imaging processor delivers further improvements in high image quality performance, elaborately detailed imaging across the entire sensitivity range, and superb colour reproduction.
• 24.2 M APS-C size image sensor deliver high image quality, and an anti-aliasing filterless construction delivers high-definition rendering even in the finest details.
• Low noise and high sensitivity from ISO 100-102400.
• 14-bit RAW recording is supported for rich tonal reproduction.
• Crop modes, 35mm at 15MP and 50mm at 7MP, let you simulate the look of working with longer focal lengths.
• Full HD 1080 video recording at 60p, 30p, and 24p frame rates.

High-speed hybrid AF

Image plane phase-matching AF delivers high-speed AF and contrast-detection AF offers superb focusing precision. The best of these two types are combined to make a hybrid AF. The common issue of searching for focus peaks in contrast-detection AF has been significantly reduced on the GR III. The hybrid system delivers faster autofocus and greater precision.

Shake Reduction with up 4 steps of compensation

The GR III uses sensor-shift type Shake Reduction mechanism delivering effective compensation on three axes.

AA Filter Simulator For Reducing False Colours and Moiré
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 an 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.
