Product description
AnnouncedJun 17, 2015
Discuss in the Ricoh Talk forum
The pocketable RICOH GR II features the same core specifications as the older GR, which means the same excellent 28mm equivalent F2.8 lens and 16MP APS-C sensor. The white-balance algorithm of the Mark II has been tweaked to improve the precision of Auto White Balance control and fine-tuning of the compensation program to prevent high-sensitivity noise. It has also been designed to accommodate a wider variety of scenes and subjects by adding new creative tools, including six effect modes and a wireless flash discharge function in combination with an external flash unit. The GR II is also the first GR-series model to feature Wi-Fi and NFC (Near Field Communication) functions for easy pairing with smartphones and other mobile devices.
