Ricoh GR III Diary Edition
The Ricoh GR III Diary Edition is a special edition of the Ricoh GR III. This premium compact camera has a metallic, warm grey finish and is accented with a silver ring cap. The exclusive finish gives the camera a stylish look that suits a modern lifestyle. The grip has a dark brown finish, so it blends seamlessly with the body. The silver ring cap sets off the warm grey finish, giving the model a look of quality and exclusivity.
The camera features a new function based on the visual effects of shooting on film. The result is a beautiful balance between rich colours and slightly shifted tones that give your photos the look and feel of film. Another new feature is that the camera shows the number of shots taken during the day, the total number of shots and the firmware version before it switches off. When the camera is switched off, the Ricoh GR III Diary Edition displays an original closing screen that matches the special finish of this edition.
The Ricoh GR III from Ricoh is equipped with a large 24.24 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, delivering high resolution images with little noise up to ISO 102,400. Combined with the GR Engine VI image processor, you get sharp, high resolution images. The 18.3mm lens has a maximum aperture of f/2.8, so you can still work effectively in low light. The camera also has a hot shoe where you can attach an external flash. At the maximum aperture, you can shoot razor-sharp macro images with a bokeh effect. The automatic macro function has a minimum distance of 6 centimetres. Once the camera detects the distance to the subject, it switches to macro mode.
The Ricoh GR III is lightning fast, so you never have to miss a moment. The Ricoh starts up in just 0.8 seconds. With the switch, you can quickly and easily change between the different autofocus modes. The camera also lets you focus on specific parts of the image, magnify them, or emphasise lines and contrasts.
The GR III has a 3.0" widescreen LCD with a 3:2 aspect ratio and more than 1 million dots. Thanks to the AR coating, you have fewer glare and reflection problems on the screen. This means you always get a sharp image when shooting outdoors in bright sun. With the 'Outdoor View' function, you can easily adjust the brightness of the LCD.
The Ricoh GR III offers various effect modes that let you get even more out of your creativity. With the effect button on the side of the body, you switch the desired effect on or off. You can also choose to add the effects later when you edit the RAW files. You can also switch ND filters on or off automatically and create composite interval shots. The camera also offers extensive automatic bracketing. This lets you select different exposure steps or use several functions side by side, such as two different white balances or effects. When the camera's battery is empty, you can charge it with the supplied USB cable or use an optional charger.
This compact camera has an aluminium-magnesium housing, which makes it feel light and sturdy. Thanks to the rubber grip, it sits well in your hand and is comfortable to use. So hit the road with this Ricoh GR III in black!
