High quality, high resolution

The GR III incorporates a newly developed 18.3mm f/2.8 GR Lens, which harmonizes exceptional imaging performance with a slim design. The optimal positioning of a high-refraction, low-dispersion glass element and a glass-molded element allows the lens to deliver clear, sharp images while reducing distortion and chromatic aberration to a minimum. It also minimizes the generation of flare and ghost images when shooting against back light. The GR III incorporates a large APS-C CMOS image sensor and a newly developed 6 imaging engine. With approximately 24.24 effective megapixels, this image sensor assures super-high-resolution images that are rich in gradations. It is also compatible with multi-tone 14-bit RAW image recording. 

Hybrid AF System

The RIcoh GR III features a hybrid AF system combining a contrast-type AF mechanism superior in focusing precision with a phase-detection-type AF mechanism assuring high-speed focusing operation. Taking advantage of both mechanisms, it assures fast, responsive autofocus operation.

Compact, functional body design

The Ricoh GR III is designed to be extremely compact and functional, providing outstanding portability. It provides user-friendly features such as a short start-up time of approximately 0.8 seconds, the control dial conveniently positioned next to the four-way controller, and effortless touch-screen operation, to enhance operability and allow users to swiftly react to once-in-a-lifetime shutter opportunities. Its exterior frame is made of highly rigid magnesium alloy to improve dependability and durability.
