Hi, whats the Best settings for sharp full screen focus for brickwork/architectural deadpan shots? Also can this camera produce quality A0 size prints?

@chrishewson40 5 жыл бұрын

What is positive film? Whats the benefits? And i see you have the sharpness set to - 2 is this making the picture soft focus?

@taneltinnuri8985 5 жыл бұрын

Chris Hewson i think gr raw is too sharp. Thats why.

@SamuelStreetlife 5 жыл бұрын

Probably cose down the aperture to f8 or higher and use a tripod. Image quality wise you should be able to print A0 size prints. But you can't expect enormous sharpness from close distance to the print.

@SamuelStreetlife 5 жыл бұрын

Positive Film is a look that is based on positive slide film. It is usually very vibrant. There are no benefits, it's just a different look than the standard colors. I set the sharpness to -2 because the camera sharpens the jpeg files automatically. "0" doesn't mean the sharpness is off. If you don't want any sharpness added to your files go down to the lowest value. The focus is not affected by this.

I know KZfaqrs say they don't like to do these types of videos but they're extremely helpful for the product. I think I've gotten a lot more use out of my Ricoh just because of this video! somehow when companies try to do this themselves they come across very corporate and are not nearly as direct and straightforward

The target group for this camera is very niche. It is an ugly little camera that shoots high quality photos. There are die hard Ricoh GR fans that love the GR for what it is. It is definitely not for everyone. It's made for photographers who also know how to use it professionally.

This is a great video. I watched this a few months ago when I first bought this camera and used this guide to set up the U1 preset thinking that I would use it occasionally and just shoot my own way first but I find that I primarily shoot in this mode and now can't image not using the FN button to focus on any other camera. Being able to turn off the LED light for focussing and that annoying focussing sound is great too as I'm easily annoyed by such features. I primarily shoot in raw and edit in camera raw via adobe bridge as I really enjoy the ability to add my style to each photograph. For me it's similar to an artist and their distinctive style.

Big Head Taco haha -- I nearly choked on my coffee, hilarious. Excellent video. I'm always fascinated how other photographer's set up their cameras. I'm thoroughly enjoying my GRIII. I set my side movie mode button to be able to quickly change film simulations. I love the Positive Film as well (I might have set mine one more degree of saturation compared to yours). I also think the Ricoh black and white simulations are amazing. Very unique. They are so good that I'm actually finding myself using SOOC JPG's. Something I've never done in my other cameras. Although the DNG files have a lot of opportunity to really push and pull results -- this is a powerful little camera. Better than I had hoped. It's now my take with me everywhere daily camera. Interestingly enough, it has changed how I am shooting in the streets compared to my OMD's and Panasonic's. So much fun! I'm still very much eyeing the Fuji system though... Thanks for all the valuable information you are sharing with us.

This video was incredibly useful for me as I just got the gr3 and felt both overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same time by it. Mainly a manual film shooter, I got the gr3 as a super compact partner to my film photography and for a casual EDC camera but I still want to be in control an not just buy an expensive point and shoot (which the gr3 definitely feels like in default mode) Now that you explained how you use it I think it’ll be a great camera to use. I love the idea of having separate AE and AF buttons! The snap focus will also be really fun to use I bet. Thanks for this awesome video! Been following your channel recently and loving all the content you post! You’re the reason why I got the gr in the first place 🙂

Thank you Samuel for the video. It is perhaps the best how to video I have seen for a camera set up. I had a chance to shoot with the GRIIIX for a few hours. It is truly a professional camera in a housing that looks like a toy!! Fear not, this is a professional grade camera capable of extremely high quality imaging. The image quality can easily compete with my Sony A7RIV and pro grade lenses I use with it. Ricoh has hit a home run with the GRIII/GRIIIX.
