About This SectionThe Ricoh GR IV is the latest in the popular GR series, bringing a new 25.7MP BSI CMOS sensor, redesigned 28mm-equivalent lens, improved AF and shake reduction, more built-in memory, and a new battery. Ricoh trims the body even thinner with a new APS-C sensor, redesigned F2.8 lens, improved 5-axis image stabilization, and faster startup while ensuring the GR IV stays truly pocketable—the thinnest GR camera yet.

Continuous shooting ⓘThe number of sequential frames per second the camera can write to the memory card when shooting in burst or continuous mode. | 4 fps045 |
Min ISO ⓘRefers to the lowest native (or 'base') ISO setting. Lower ISO are less sensitive to light but make a cleaner image. | 10030200 |
Max ISO ⓘRefers to the highest native (or 'base') ISO setting. Higher ISO is necessary for low-light situations or night photography, but higher ISOs often introduce grain or noise. | 2048003003280000 |
Max shutter speed ⓘThe maximum shutter speed tells you the length inside 1 second the camera will capture. These can sometimes be extended with accessories such as extra external batteries. | 400080032000 |
In-body stabilisation ⓘIn-body Stabilization means the camera has a certain technology embedded that counteracts camera shake. |  Yes |
Viewfinder type ⓘThe viewfinder type is either electronic or optical. Electronic viewfinders will have a small screen in the viewfinder. Optical viewfinders will use prisms and mirrors to look through the lens. | None |
