GR

High-speed response and controls that work in concert with inspiration

Start-up, shooting, shutdown - high-speed operation has been achieved in all facets.

1 second (approx.) high-speed start-up for instantaneous responsiveness. By optimizing the lens drive and AF algorithms, a high-speed AF of approximately 0.2 second focusing speed is possible in Contrast AF. Release time lag has been shortened to the absolute minimum. 4 fps sequential shooting. Even the pursuit of high-speed controls has not been overlooked by using a lens barrier mechanism so that it is no longer necessary to use a lens cap. With these features, you'll never miss another sudden photo opportunity.

The GR design hasn't changed, making high quality images available in a pocket-sized model.

A simple design that fits perfectly in the hand, with a grip that is easy to hold. Even though equipped with a large-format sensor about 8.9 times larger than the area ratio of the 1/1.7 type sensor, the GR design was emulated for a body size equal to that of the GR film camera. Magnesium alloy is used for the body material, making the camera lightweight and extremely tough. The GR is designed as a reliable and durable tool to meet the expectations and love of those who own it.

Full-featured AF functions, for a perfect match with your shooting style.

The rear of the camera is now equipped with an AF function switching lever and button. With a press of the lever, you can easily switch between Continuous AF, and AE/AF Lock. With your thumb you can switch from AF to Continuous AF, with the lever you can switch to AF Lock, and after AF lock with the AF button, you can switch to AE lock with a halfway press of the shutter release button, expanding your shooting possibilities. This model is also equipped with the Full-Press Snapshot function*, for skipping AF and shooting at the set distance when pressing the shutter button all the way down at once. You will never again miss that moment that you want to capture. AE tracking speed has also been improved. This model will respond accurately even to fast camera work, making sure you'll always capture that important moment beautifully, at the correct exposure.

*[ON],[OFF] can be selected. Only available when[Focus]is set to [Multi AF],[Spot AF],or[Pinpoint AF].

Never miss a moment with Full Press Snap.

This model is also equipped with Full Press Snap for high-speed sequential shooting at the set distance when pressing the shutter button all the way down at once. By selecting the focal distance beforehand (1 m, 1.5 m, 2 m, 2.5 m, 5 m, infinity), shooting can be completed without activating AF, for snapping away whenever the mood strikes and never missing a shot.

The high-resolution, 3.0 type, 1.23 million dot LCD screen is now easier to see, and tougher.

The LCD screen now uses a new protective cover. The screen is also equipped with an automatic brightness adjustment function, and can be relied upon even in punishing outdoor use. The screen also features beautiful and easy to read multi-tone scalable font characters, full-color for smooth graphic display, and a highly visible display for smooth shooting.

The GR is now equipped with a new, unique exposure mode, as well as shutter and aperture priority modes.

The TAv mode (shutter and aperture priority AE mode), which was traditionally only included on Pentax brand DSLR cameras, is now included as an exposure mode. In this mode, the ISO speed is automatically adjusted according to your preferred aperture and shutter speed settings. With these features, expressive performance is available that only a GR with vastly improved high-sensitivity qualities can deliver.

The aperture preview button lets you check the photo before you actually shoot it.

The new aperture preview button is located on the side of the camera body. With this button, you can check the depth of field before shooting. Not only can this be used from image setting effects, but it is also available from the third function button, continuing on from the conventional second function button.

Focus Assist and Move Target assist in more accurate focusing.

With these functions you can specify any portion of a subject to meter, and then lock the focus. You can also magnify a portion of the screen, emphasize outlines or contrast, and focus more accurately.

Equipped with an Electronic Level

The camera is equipped with a built-in Electronic Level. With this feature, you can check the inclination of the camera in the horizontal, forward and backward (tilt) directions while shooting. The level is displayed at the bottom of the screen, making composing a shoot and shooting easy.

Eye-Fi card link function, for easily importing images to smartphones.

Image import to smartphones and other devices is simple with an Eye-Fi card. You can check the connection destination, transfer selected images, and send two reduced sizes.

*The transfer function can be set to[on]or[off] in the menu.
