The GR IV records Full HD with a built-in stereo microphone. Ricoh’s interface list is USB-C for charge, MTP, and DisplayPort — not a microphone. There is no 3.5 mm jack. A VideoMic on the shoe has nowhere to go. The 2026 kit is a Zoom H1essential in the other pocket: 32-bit float, X/Y stereo,…
The GR IV carton is one DB-120, a USB-C cable, and a hand strap. The cell is new: a GR III DB-110 will not power this body. Ricoh’s CIPA line is 250 stills. There is no pop-up. The door is microSD, and about 53 GB already lives in the camera. The 2026 first spare is…
