Ricoh GR III HDF Digital Camera

Discover the latest evolution in compact photography with the Ricoh GR III HDF and Ricoh GR IIIx HDF cameras. Embracing the foundation of the RICOH GR III and RICOH GR IIIx models, these premium cameras are designed to push the boundaries of creativity and precision in photography.

Highlight Diffusion Filter (HDF)

The Ricoh GR III HDF and Ricoh GR IIIx HDF stand out with their newly developed Highlight Diffusion Filter, a groundbreaking feature that transforms ordinary scenes into extraordinary snapshots. By diffusing highlight areas and softly blurring the edges of your images, the HDF brings a unique, expressive quality to your photos, reminiscent of the nostalgic charm found in film photography and vintage cinema.

This special-effect filter enables photographers to explore the visual spectrum between sharp, high-contrast images and softer, more emotive compositions with unparalleled ease. Conveniently, switching between visual styles is seamless, thanks to the quick engage-disengage mechanism of the HDF.

Zone Select AF and White Balance Settings

The cameras are equipped with a new Zone Select AF function, enhancing focus precision by automatically identifying the optimal focus point within the shifted 3x3 focus area.

Additionally, both cameras come with the ability to pre-program up to three white-balance settings, allowing for instant adaptation to varying lighting conditions, ensuring your images are not just captured but are brought to life exactly as you envisioned.

Shutter-release and Customizable New Fn Button

The functional elegance of these models is further highlighted by the refined design changes, including the dark silver shutter-release button, differentiating the HDF models from the GR models. At the same time, the default setting of the Fn button now acts as a quick toggle for the HDF, making it simpler than ever to switch between the filter’s engaging effects.
