High Image Quality
Lenses that capture light are the most important elements in ensuring high image quality. It was this idea that resulted in the new 18.3mm (28mm in 35mm equivalent focal length) F2.8 GR lens. Driven by our conventional design concepts and incorporating innovations in optical technologies, we added a large, aspherical high-precision molded glass lens as the final lens in a 5-group 7-element construction. Effective aberration correction improves sharpness from the center area of the frame to the edges. Also, optimal placement of high-refractive index low-dispersion glass lenses and aspherical molded glass lenses which are made possible by ultra high-precision manufacturing technologies result in a slim lens unit. We also developed a new lens barrel that contributes to a shorter start-up time and faster AF.

Excellent Mobility
A camera hidden away in a pocket becomes a part of you when you take it out. The GR IV offers enhanced performance in a compact, slim body. The body (excluding the grip and lens unit) is particularly slim and the grip is deeper for a more secure hold. The shape of this grip and the rear thumb rest have been optimized for a form that naturally molds itself to your hand. The button and dial layout has also been improved and ADJ mode is now available on the dial, delivering enhanced mobility appropriate for a snapshot camera.
The GR IV offers superb imaging that is similar to how the human eye sees. Its AF performance has also advanced significantly. AF speed has been improved thanks to faster lens drive with the new lens barrel and faster readout with the new image sensor. The AF algorithm has also been tuned for more precise focusing. Furthermore, we have also incorporated various other AF innovations, such as improved AF performance in low-light scenes and better subject detection across a wide area thanks to image plane phase difference.
Expressive Power
Capture scenes that catch your eye as images. The GR IV is equipped with two new “Image Control” options for a total of 14 image finishes. These new options are based on the idea of a certain cinematic “look.” [Cinema (Yellow)] gives images a dignified impression, and [Cinema (Green)] lends a cool finish to images. We have also tuned the conventional “Image Control” options. The grain effects that were previously only available in monochrome options can now be set with two “Cinema” options and two “Film” options. Furthermore, it is now possible to set the size of the grain.
“Warmth Priority” and “White Priority” have been added to “Auto White Balance.” You can configure settings to your liking and make photos your very own—choose whether to show a warm atmosphere or faithfully reproduce colors when shooting under tungsten lighting, allowing you to enjoy impressive photographic expressions even with “Auto White Balance.”
Usability
“GR WORLD” is an app developed specifically for use with smart devices. Connecting it to the camera makes importing images, performing remote shooting, and sending location information to the camera easy. The app can also be used to extract and play back images shot with the GR series from those saved in smart devices. It is also a great tool for connecting to a large community through photos.
The GR IV features 53 GB of internal memory. Even without a memory card, there is plenty of space. You can record approx. 3,498 JPEG images (Aspect Ratio: 3:2, Crop: Off, JPEG Recorded Pixels: L), and approx. 995 RAW images (Aspect Ratio: 3:2, Crop: Off). In addition to specifying whether to prioritize saving to the internal memory or the memory card, you can also switch between the two while shooting and copy images between them. These two memory options offer greater flexibility over managing and backing up images.
A robust battery is also important when capturing lots of snapshots. The GR IV is equipped with the high-capacity, 1,800 mAh battery DB-120. Despite the compact body, the battery life has been expanded to accommodate approx. 250 shots* (GR III: approx. 200 shots). It also supports fast charging and power supply from a portable power source. With this new design, you will not have to worry about missing shots due to a dead battery.
