Ricoh GR IV recipes

Every recipe on the site works on the GR IV, and on the GR IV HDF too - the HDF is the same camera plus a highlight diffusion filter, so recipes apply identically.

Some of these looks were designed on the IV; most come from the GR III era and dial straight in. Treat cross-generation recipes as a starting point rather than a guaranteed match: the IV's newer sensor renders a touch warmer and brighter, and if a look runs warm, a small white-balance nudge toward blue brings it back.

The IV also adds controls older bodies don't have, like separate grain size and intensity and a custom B&W filter mix. Where a recipe uses them, its page says what to pick on a III.

Still deciding between bodies? Which Ricoh GR should you buy compares the III, IIIx, IV, both HDFs and the Monochrome. And the Image Control guide explains every mode the IV has, including the two Cinema modes the older bodies lack.
