Ricoh GR IV 30th Anniversary Edition Compact Camera In More Detail
Anniversary Design
The commemorative finishes and accessories, including the GR1-inspired control detailing, diamond-cut GN-3 (30th) ring cap, anniversary power-off screen, metal hot shoe cover, finger strap and pin badge set, are exclusive to this edition and do not affect photographic performance.
GR Lens Design
The fixed 18.3mm f/2.8 GR lens gives a 28mm full-frame equivalent field of view. Its optical design uses seven elements in five groups, including three aspherical, high-refractive and low-dispersion elements, plus a large-diameter rear element to improve edge sharpness, suppress chromatic aberration and resolve the full 25.74MP sensor, all within the GR series' compact dimensions.
Sensor and Processing
The back-illuminated APS-C sensor works with the GR Engine 7 processor and an accelerator unit to improve processing speed, reduce noise and maintain tonal gradation up to ISO 204800. Images record as JPEG or 14-bit DNG RAW for extensive post-processing flexibility.
Autofocus and Stabilisation
Hybrid phase and contrast detection autofocus, a redesigned lens drive and faster sensor readout support quicker subject acquisition and an approximately 0.6-second start-up, with macro mode also engaging faster. The 5-axis Shake Reduction system compensates for pitch, yaw, roll and horizontal and vertical movement, providing up to six stops of stabilisation centrally and up to four stops towards the edges under CIPA 2024 testing. An AA Filter Simulator uses microscopic sensor movement to reduce false colour and moiré on repeating patterns.
Creative Shooting Modes
Program Auto Ex allows instant switching between aperture- and shutter-priority control while remaining in Program mode. Snap Distance-Priority AE combines preset focus distances with depth of field for faster street photography, and Cinema image mode adds adjustable colour tone, saturation, hue, contrast and grain for film-inspired results in-camera.
Everyday Carry
The GR IV weighs 262g including battery and memory card. Approximately 53GB of internal memory complements UHS-I microSD storage, and Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connect to the GR WORLD app for wireless transfer, remote shooting and location tagging. The 3.0-inch 1.037-million-dot air-gapless touchscreen reduces reflections, with an Outdoor Monitor mode optimising brightness in bright conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 30th Anniversary Limited Edition different from the standard Ricoh GR IV?
Photographically, no. Both cameras share the same 25.74MP APS-C sensor, GR Engine 7 processor, redesigned 18.3mm f/2.8 GR lens, hybrid autofocus and 5-axis Shake Reduction.

Should I buy the Anniversary Limited Edition or the standard Ricoh GR IV?
