Ricoh GR IIIx Urban Edition Digital Camera

Features of RICOH GR IIIx Urban Edition ＊Inspired by street photographers who are in their element on the asphalt pavement,the metallic gray body has a unique texture created through repeated and complex painting processes. It’s smooth but enables excellent grip, a combination of design and functionality. ＊The navy blue ring cap is specially designed to evoke the impression of an azure sky reflected in a puddle after a rain,or neon lights of a city that never sleeps and their reflections. ＊When the power is turned off, the Urban Edition features a special power-off graphic with a street-like background and special logo. ＊Various new functions have been added, 1. A new exposure mode, “Snap Distance Priority Mode” has been added. By setting the snapshot distance and depth of field (DOF) in advance, you can instantly recall the setting. DOF3, in particular, sets the f-stop so that the depth of field is close to pan-focus, allowing you to enjoy faster shooting. 2. “Auto-area AF (Center)” has been added to the the Focus. Auto-area AF works around the center of the frame (9 areas) instead of the entire frame. This prevents the camera from focusing on unintended areas such as the ground in front of you, allowing you more control of your street snaps. 3. “Enable AF” has been added to the Shutter Button Setting. It is now possible, when the shutter button is pressed halfway, only the AF is locked without locking the AE. 4. “3.5m” has been added to the Snap Focus Distance. 5. Long tapping on the playback screen can now recall the Playback Settings.

  Urban Edition Specialized Finish

  The Ricoh GR IIIx Urban Edition Digital Camera is accented by a navy-blue ring around the lens barrel. This color was selected to represent typical street shooter imagery such as deep blue skies reflected in a puddle following a rainfall or the bright neon signs of a never-sleeping city. The camera body is finished in metallic gray, reminiscent of the gritty tones of the urban landscape. This unique exterior finish requires a multi-coat process, which results in the camera's distinctive appearance and smooth texture. The coating also helps make it easier for you to get a firm grip on the camera.

  
  High-Resolution GR Lens

  Equipped with a 26.1mm GR lens that provides a 40mm standard angle of view in the 35mm format, the Ricoh GR IIIx Urban Edition delivers images with a natural perspective and a truthful sense of depth for a completely different type of street photography. High-refractive index low-dispersion glass lenses and aspherical high-precision molded glass lenses are optimally placed in the lens construction to suppress optical distortion and chromatic aberration, delivering a high level of sharpness. The camera also comes equipped with an ND (Neutral Density) filter, which closes the aperture down by two stops to capture high-contrast and high-resolution images with a variety of scenes and subjects under varying shooting conditions. Its nine-blade diaphragm mechanism creates a natural bokeh effect and a truthful sense of depth at open and larger apertures, while capturing beautiful light beams at closed-down apertures.

  
  24.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor and GR Engine 6

  A large 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor pairs with the new GR Engine 6 to produce high-resolution 14-bit DNG or JPEG stills with impressive tonality, natural color rendering, and high sensitivity from ISO 100-102400. In addition to stills shooting, the GR IIIx Urban Edition is also capable of recording Full HD 1080 video at 60p, 30p, and 24p frame rates.

  
  Hybrid AF System

  The hybrid AF system combines a contrast-type AF mechanism with a phase-detection-type AF mechanism ensuring high-speed focusing operation. During autofocus shooting, this AF system detects the subject's face or eye with precision, focuses on it, and indicates the in-focus position on the LCD display using the AF frame. When the camera detects multiple faces, it automatically distinguishes the main subject from secondary ones and indicates this on the focus frame.

  
  Auto Area AF Center Focus Mode

  Instead of covering the entire image field, this updated mode operates only in nine focus zones around the center of the image field, preventing the camera from focusing on unintended elements, such as a grassy field in the foreground of an image.

  
  Snap Distance Priority Mode
