Ricoh GR: Technical Data

On this page, I present a selection of technical data for the Ricoh GR. Please note that technical data are just one side of the coin, the way you use a camera and its possibilities are the other side...

Technical Data

Below I present selected technical data for the Ricoh GR that I collected from various sources. I cannot guarantee that this data is correct.

Data	Ricoh GR	Comment
Lens	Ricoh GR lens, 18.3mm f/2.8 (corresponds to 28 mm in 35 mm format) 7 elements, 5 groups (2 aspheric elements), 9 diaphragm blades	A wide conversion lens GW-3 for 21mm (equiv.) is available (requires lens hood and adapter GH-3)
Zoom	Crops modes (35 mm, 47 mm equiv.); digital zoom: none	The 35 mm and 47 mm (equivalent) crop modes use less pixels (10.3 and 5.6 Megapixels).
Filter diameter	None	Use the filter adapter GH-3 to attach filters and close-up lenses
Sensor	CMOS Sensor, size APS-C; Color depth: 8 bit JPG, 12 bit RAW; effective/total pixels (total pixels): 16.2/16.9 MP; aspect ratio 3:2; no AA filter	The lack of an AA filter makes Ricoh GR images appear slightly sharper at 100% than those of cameras with such a filter (like the Leica X Vario).
Max. pixels	4928 × 3264 (16 Megapixels, 3:2 format)
Aperture range	From 2.8 to 16 in 1/3 EV increments
ISO Range	Automatic, ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400, ISO 800, ISO 1600, ISO 3200, ISO 6400, ISO 12800, ISO 25600	The Ricoh GR can be used up to ISO 3200 without much image degradation.
Autofocus system	TTL contrast detection auto focus system
Distance setting range	Macro: 10 cm (3.9”) to infinity; otherwise from 30 cm (11.76”) to infinity	The camera has a "macro" setting (button)
Smallest object field	Approx. 11.2 x 7.5 cm (according to own tests - do not take this too seriously)	Magnification: 0.2 (without close-up lens)
Focus metering methods	Multi AF (Contrast AF method), Spot AF (Contrast AF method), Pinpoint AF, Subject tracking AF, MF, Snap, in finity, Face recognition priority (only in Auto mode), Continuous	Snap mode is a Ricoh specialty
Exposure modes	Program AE (P), Aperture priority AE (Av), Shutter priority AE (Tv), Shutter/Aperture priority AE (TAv), Manual exposure (M)	Shutter/Aperture priority AE (TAv) is a Pentax specialty that the GR inherited...
Exposure metering	TTL metering in multi, center-weighted, and spot modes with autoexposure lock
Exposure compensation	±4 EV in 1/3 EV increments
Automatic bracketing	Three pictures in graduations up to 2 EV, adjustable in 1/3 EV increments
Continuous picture series	Approx. 4 fps (DNG or JPG)
Shooting modes	Auto shooting mode, Program shift mode, Aperture priority mode, Shutter priority mode, Shutter/Aperture priority mode, Manual exposure mode, Movie, My Settings Mode
Shutter speed range	1/4000-300 sec, Bulb, Time
Self timer delay time/Interval timer	2 s or custom / Interval: unlimited shots, 5 s to 1 h interval in 5 s increments

LCD monitor	3.0" transparent TFT color LCD, with protective acrylic cover, 160°, LCD Frame rate 60 fps, resolution approx. 1.230K dots	Not tiltable
Electronic viewfinder	None
Optical viewfinder (optional)	External viewfinder GV-1, External mini viewfinder GV-2	Optical viewfinders from other manufacturers (e.g. Voigtländer) can also be used
Video resolution/ frame rate	1920 × 1080 (1080p (30/25/24)), 1280 × 720 (720p (30/50/60)), 640 × 480 (VGA (30/25/24)
Video recording format	MPEG－4 AVC/H.26; audio monaural

Dimensions	11.7 x 6.1 x 3.47 cm / 4.6” x 2.4” x 1.4” (W x H x D)
Weight	215 g / 7.6 oz. (body only), 245 g / 8.6 oz. (loaded and ready)
Connections	Video output: NTSC/PAL, USB: High-Speed USB, HDMI: HDMI output terminal (Type D, Micro port)
Power supply	Rechargeable DB-65 lithium-ion battery, capacity 1250 mAh, approx. 290 pictures	Battery is loaded in the camera (USB charger)
Storage media	SD/SDHC, SDXC memory card, Eye-Fi card (X2 series) compatible
