Ricoh GR IIIx HDF

Ricoh GR IIIx HDF

The new RICOH GR IIIx HDF - a top-of-the-range digital compact camera - with a new integrated Highlight Diffusion Filter (HDF) for soft, diffuse expressions, especially in bright areas of the image

.

This camera capitalizes on the fundamental advantages of the basic model - exceptional image quality, flawless operation and outstanding mobility - and allows

the user to use the new Highlight Diffusion Filter (HDF).

It enables the user to activate the newly developed, integrated Highlight Diffusion Filter (HDF) with a single touch of a button, which provides a soft and diffuse image reproduction in addition to the clear and sharp images known from the basic models.
This filter allows the user to give the captured images a special visual expression depending on the subject or creative intention

Easily use the new, integrated HDF to create images with a soft and diffuse image impression

The GR IIIx HDF features the newly developed Highlight Diffusion Filter (HDF), which emphasizes bright highlights and creates soft and diffuse images

Because the HDF can be turned on and off with a single button press, users can effortlessly switch between two different visual expressions depending on the subject or creative intent - clear, sharply focused images typical of the RICOH GR series, and softer, more diffused images captured by the HDF model. This creative versatility pushes the visual boundaries of snapshot photography

*No ND filter is installed in this camera and is replaced by the HDF
