Worth Knowing

About This CameraThe Ricoh GR IIIx HDF camera joins the Ricoh GR III series as the 40mm focal length sibling with a physical button dedicated to a built-in Highlight Diffusion Filter (HDF) filter. It is a genuinely pocketable camera that packs an APS-C sensor inside a slim body, allowing you to carry it around in a trouser or jacket pocket where no other camera would fit. The HDF features a Highlight Diffusion Filter that diffuses highlights for softer light, and this special-effect filter creates a blurred effect along the image's edges, making it possible to capture somewhat nostalgic images resembling those captured in film photography or vintage movies. | |
