The lens remains a 28mm (equivalent) f\/1.9 and now has image sensor-shift stabilisation for up to 3.2EV. <\/p>\n<p>Mr Kobayashi, marketing manager for Ricoh?s planning office in Japan, told AP: ?The lens barrel has a new construction to make it quicker and more accurate?. <\/p>\n<p>Shooting modes have been bolstered with the addition of Bleach bypass, positive film and multiple exposure and bulb modes, while the internal composite is designed to combine images for star-trail shots. <\/p>\n<p>A new electronic level offers both tilt and roll monitoring to help ensure a level shot. <\/p>\n<p>The GRD IV will be released in its signature black, although the grip can be replaced for either a wood grain, leather or carbon model by a Ricoh service centre. <\/p>\n<p>A limited-edition white version will also be made available along with a metal lens cap.<\/p>\n<p>The camera is due on sale in October, with final pricing still to be confirmed. <\/p>\n<p>Visit www.ricoh.co.uk\/products\/digital-cameras.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ricoh is set to introduce an update to its GRD range of compact cameras with the launch of the GRD IV. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":330,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"product-category":[],"class_list":["post-15367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-photo-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
