Storage: ~53 GB internal + microSD \/ HC \/ XC UHS-I. No internal flash; shoe \u201ccompatible with dedicated flash\u201d; output AUTO \/ 1\/1 \/ 1\/4; P-TTL not supported. Leaf shutter 1\/4000\u201330 s (1\/2500 at f\/2.8). USB-C charge \/ MTP \/ DisplayPort. DB-120, 250 stills CIPA, ~240 min playback. 262 g with battery and card. Carton: DB-120, I-USB198, O-ST198, shoe cover O-HC198, ring cap GN-3 (BK). Optional list (ricoh-imaging accessories + FAQ): DB-120, BJ-12, D-AC166 \/ K-AC166J, GF-2, GA-3, GW-4, GV-1 \/ GV-2, GK-2, GC-11 \/ 12 \/ 14, GS-2 \/ GS-3 \/ GS-4 \/ ST-2. FAQ: DB-110 and DB-65 are not compatible. GA-3 is dedicated to GR IV and is required for a 49 mm JIS filter or GW-4; remove GN-3 first. GW-4 is 0.75\u00d7 \/ 21 mm equiv.; camera shows WIDE; 72 mm filter on the converter; GW-1\/2\/3 will not mount. GA-3 will not mount a GR III. GT-2 is GR IIIx only. No wired cable release \u2014 GR WORLD over Bluetooth. GF-2: GN 3 (ISO 100), ISO Auto Flash on GR IV, USB-C pack, ~19 g; GW-4 not supported on that head.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>The GR III drawer is the trap, not a kit:<\/strong> New cell, new adapter, new card shape, new flash contacts. A DB-110, a GA-1, and a full-size Extreme PRO from the III are three skips. 250 CIPA on a street compact is why Overall is a second DB-120, not a $400 wide converter. 53 GB internals hold ~995 26 MP DNGs \u2014 the card is overflow (UHS-I, Class 10 \/ V30), not a V90 UHS-II. No pop-up is why a cheap center-pin or the GF-2 exists; P-TTL is still not this shoe.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>The box you actually buy:<\/strong> A spare DB-120. A dedicated Extreme 128 GB microSDXC, formatted in the GR IV. An iM30 if you want fill without the GF-2 price. Add GF-2 when you want the rangefinder-linked Auto Ricoh wrote. Add GA-3 when you want a 49 mm CPL or the GW-4 21 mm path. Skip BJ-12 until two cells and a nightstand matter. Skip GV-1 as the first purchase \u2014 it occupies the shoe. Skip GC-14 as \u201crequired protection.\u201d The built-in ND already covers two stops; do not buy GA-3 only to mount an ND you already have in the lens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2>Best Accessories for Ricoh GR IV: Detailed Reviews<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"top-recommendation\" id=\"best-overall\" data-badge=\"best-overall\">\n  <div class=\"top-badge badge-best-overall\">\ud83c\udfc6 Best Overall<\/div>\n  <h3>Ricoh DB-120 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Ricoh+DB-120&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"title-amazon-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">View on Amazon<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/search?Ntt=Ricoh+DB-120&#038;BI=8941&#038;KBID=10361&#038;SID=12345&#038;DFF=d50\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"title-bh-btn\">View on B&#038;H<\/a><\/h3>\n  <div class=\"product-highlights\">\n  <div class=\"highlight-item\"><span class=\"highlight-label\">Best For:<\/span> A second 250-shot walk on the only legal cell<\/div>\n  <div class=\"highlight-item\"><span class=\"highlight-label\">Key Feature:<\/span> Official GR IV pack \u00b7 not DB-110<\/div>\n  <div class=\"highlight-item\"><span class=\"highlight-label\">Rating:<\/span> <span class=\"star-rating\">4.7 \/ 5.0 \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/span><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <table class=\"spec-table\">\n  <tr><th>Cell<\/th><td>DB-120 \u00b7 same pack as the carton<\/td><\/tr>\n  <tr><th>On GR IV<\/th><td>250 stills CIPA (23 \u00b0C, LCD on) \u00b7 ~240 min playback<\/td><\/tr>\n  <tr><th>Charge<\/th><td>USB-C in the body (PD adapter or computer; empty \u2248 2.5 h).

DB-110 (GR III series) and DB-65 (older GR) are not compatible. Charge the new cell in the body over USB-C, or use BJ-12.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Can I use the GR III GA-1 adapter or older wide converters?<\/h3><p>No. FAQ: GA-3 is dedicated to the GR IV and will not mount a GR III. GW-4 on the IV requires GA-3 (remove GN-3). GW-1 \/ GW-2 \/ GW-3 will not work. GT-2 is a GR IIIx tele and will not work.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Do I need a memory card on day one?<\/h3><p>No. About 53 GB is already in the body (~995 26 MP DNGs). A microSD is overflow. Full-size GR III SD cards will not fit. UHS-I, Class 6+ for video; V30 is the comfortable 60p card.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Is there a cable release?<\/h3><p>No wired release. Ricoh: use the GR WORLD app over Bluetooth for remote firing.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Does the GR IV have a built-in flash or take Pentax P-TTL?<\/h3><p>No pop-up. Dedicated shoe; P-TTL is not supported. GF-2 is the Auto unit on this body. A center-pin gun still fires if you set power. Leaf shutter already syncs at 1\/2500\u20131\/4000 \u2014 do not buy HSS for noon fill.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Final Verdict<\/h2>\n<div class=\"conclusion-module verdict-box\">\n  <div class=\"verdict-picks\">\n  <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n  <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83c\udfc6 Best Overall:<\/span>\n  <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>Ricoh DB-120<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 The only cell. 250 CIPA.
