Ricoh Announces Monochrome Gr Iv Camera Version B&H announced 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. Product Highlights: GR IV B&W-Only Recording; No Color Array; Built-In Red Contrast Filter; 25.7MP APS-C BSI CMOS Sensor; New 28mm f/2.8 Lens (Full-Frame Equiv.) Improved AF and Low-Light Focusing; 5-Axis 6-Stop Shake Reduction System; 3.0" 1.04m-Dot Touchscreen LCD; 53GB Built-In Memory & microSD Card Slot; Full HD 1080/60p Video Recording; Snap Distance Priority & Focus Limiter. 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, worry 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.

Ricoh Announces Gr Iv Hdf Digital Camera, Preorder Gr Iv Camera At B&H Photo Ricoh announced the GR IV HDF - Highlight Diffusion Filter, a new variant of their much sought-after point-and-shoot camera. While looking largely the same, this unique model offers new features that give users more creative control, and a new accessory hand strap. The Ricoh GR IV HDF retains the exceptional image quality and compact point-and-shoot feel that put the GR line on the map. Where it differs begins with the addition of a familiar face to longtime fans of the RICOH GR series of cameras. Product Highlights: Built-in Highlight Diffusion Filter; 25.7MP APS-C BSI CMOS Sensor; New 28mm f/2.8 Lens (Full-Frame Equiv.); Improved AF and Low-Light Focusing; 5-Axis 6-Stop Shake Reduction System; 3.0" 1.04m-Dot Touchscreen LCD; 53GB Built-In Memory & microSD Card Slot; Full HD 1080/60p Video Recording; Snap Distance Priority & Focus Limiter; GR WORLD App for Updates and Control. Enter the HDF, or the Highlight Diffusion Filter, which was last seen in similar models of the GR III and IIIx. This filter adds a diffusion effect to the images, especially around highlights. The resulting images have a vintage film/cinematic look often achieved through the use of other tools like digital presets or black mist filters. The creative possibilities are further broadened by the addition of a new high-speed electronic shutter mechanism that 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 standard edition of the camera, worry not, as this feature will be coming to the GR IV via a function-expanding firmware update following the launch of the GR IV HDF. Other differences between models include the shutter button. While the standard GR IV features an all-black color scheme, the HDF model features a grayish silver shutter button to set it apart. Out of the box, the Fn (Function) button has been set by default to HDF ON/OFF setting. This can be changed to other functions if you wish. Note that the built-in ND (Ne Neutral Density) filter found in the GR IV will not be available in the HDF model. Lastly, can't go without mentioning the new accessory, which will be available for both versions of the GR IV camera. To keep with the compact and portable form factor, RICOH has designed the GS-4 Finger Strap that comfortably fits the user's hand for easy carrying. It's less bulky than a full neck strap, and quite minimal in design. As the vintage film look continues to boom in popularity, The company expects to see many cameras adopt fun and creative features simulating the effect.

If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses.

Ricoh Announces the Global Debut of the RICOH Pro Z75 Digital Press Ricoh announced the global debut of the RICOH Pro Z75 Digital Press, the first B2 perfecting (auto-duplexing) sheetfed inkjet platform using aqueous ink, accelerating the shift from offset to digital with higher print quality, faster turnaround times and fewer demands on staff following successful in-market testing. The press will be officially available for public orders in North America as of November 15, 2023, with orders for immediate placement expected based on strong interest across international markets. In June 2022, Heeter Printing – a Pittsburgh area full-service secure marketing provider for highly demanding industries like insurance, retail, and gaming – teamed up with Ricoh to serve as the official beta site for the iF DESIGN AWARD winning B2 sheetfed inkjet press platform. The RICOH Pro Z75 delivers the advantages of a sheetfed platform with the low running costs and high productivity of inkjet. It offers print speeds of up to 4,500 sheets per hour (SPH) in straight printing or 2,250 SPH in duplex /perfecting printing. Stainless steel piezo print heads bring 1,200 dpi native resolution at all speeds with 4 Color (CMYK) pigment-based inks, while the proprietary drying system greatly reduces cockling and waviness ensuring high-quality results ready for immediate finishing. The RICOH Pro Z75 also expands substrate flexibility, handling uncoated, inkjet treated and offset coated media up to 400 gsm (24pt) with a max sheet size of 23 x 29-inches. Beyond the high print speeds and automatic duplexing capabilities, the press incorporates significant automation solutions and an intuitive control panel to reduce the need for operator intervention and improve shift efficiency. A heavy-duty, offset-like build quality and advanced, durable printheads are designed to maximize press uptime and availability. Attention to detail from the air-assisted sheet feeding that minimizes feed and paper transport issues, to a configurable high-capacity stacker that delivers accurate, flush paper stacking, streamlines the entire job process. Designed for print businesses managing high volumes of jobs that require reliable uptime and significant throughput capacity, the new production inkjet platform is backed by Ricoh's global organization that is committed to customer success. Customers will have access to Ricoh's best-in-class proprietary workflow automation solutions, such as RICOH TotalFlow™ Producer, RICOH TotalFlow BatchBuilder™ and RICOH Supervisor™, plus consulting services and full-service marketing solutions such as MarcomCentral®, to maximize return-on-investment and business value.

New Risk • Jul 05
New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 21% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Large one-off items impacting financial results. Duyuru • Jun 28
