Mounted on the RICOH GR IV with the camera set to ISO Auto Flash, the GF-2 enables automatic flash control that adjusts both effective guide number and ISO sensitivity to match subject distance. This smart pairing helps you keep exposures consistent as scenes change, without digging through menus or guessing power levels.
The GF-2 runs on a dedicated, rechargeable lithium-ion battery and charges via a USB Type-C terminal. Because the flash has its own power source, recycle performance stays stable even if the camera battery is running low—ideal for longer shoots and fast, candid moments.

• When used on other GR-series models (non-GR IV), the GF-2 operates only in full-discharge mode due to different contact alignment (except the X-sync contact).
