Ricoh GR IV compact camera held in a pair of hands.

Ricoh has released new firmware updates for its popular GR IV compact camera that was introduced last year. The update adds the promised electronic shutter funciton and 1/16,000sec top shutter speed. Both these were premiered on the more recent GR IV HDF and GR IV Monochrome variants of this popular APS-C sensored street camera.
