NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- B&H is pleased to share the Ricoh GR IV Monochrome, a black and white exclusive variant of their much sought-after point-and-shoot camera. While retaining the same compact form factor and exceptional image quality of the original, this version has been designed exclusively for monochrome photography.
This was achieved by removing the color filter from the sensor, which also increases the capabilities of the GR’s built-in lens, delivering richer tonal gradation. In addition to this alteration, a red filter has been added to create a bold and dramatic look to images taken with the camera.

Product Highlights:
- GR IV B&W-Only Recording; No Color Array

- New 28mm f/2.8 Lens (Full-Frame Equiv.)

The creative possibilities are further broadened by the addition of a new high-speed electronic shutter mechanism adopted from the recent HDF variant, which is capable of shutter speeds up to 1/16,000 of a second. This makes it possible to capture images at larger apertures, even when working in bright lighting conditions. For those who already have the original edition of the camera, fret not, as this feature will be coming to the GR IV via a function-expanding firmware update following the launch of the GR IV Monochrome and HDF cameras.
To differentiate the three GR IV variants, the Monochrome edition is uniformly colored to evoke the world of black and white photography. The magnesium body, as well as the shutter button are finished in a matte black with the engraved GR logo finished in a semi-gloss black. The power button illumination has changed as well, now to white to maintain the monochromatic aesthetic.
The RICOH GR IV monochrome is a welcome addition to the ever-changing line-up of point and shoot cameras on the market. For those looking to keep a compact, yet powerful black and white photography tool in their bag or pocket, the GR IV Monochrome is a great option.
