Ricoh GR IV Monochrome compact camera

Ricoh GR IV Monochrome compact camera

The Ricoh GR IV Monochrome is a top-of-the-range compact camera for photographers who shoot primarily in black and white. Its monochrome APS-C sensor, 28 mm angle of view and in-body image stabilisation make it a powerful tool for street photography, documentary photography and expressive black-and-white imagery.

A sensor designed for black-and-white photography

The back-illuminated APS-C CMOS sensor is designed without an anti-aliasing filter or colour filter. As the sensor records the brightness of each pixel without any interpolation, the images feature sharp details, clean edges and smooth tonal transitions from highlights to deep shadows.

Creative black-and-white settings on the body

The built-in red filter can be activated using the Fn button to create classic contrast effects. The ‘Solid’ image mode offers a high-contrast look, whilst ‘Grainy’ adds a cinematic graininess whilst preserving the tonal range.
