Very helpful thank you 🙏🏻 Question: when you set up the wireless/movie button to Touch AF do you need to do that for every user setting or should it save for all of them? Thanks in advance.

Beautifully laid out and so helpful. Thank you kindly.

Do you happen to know how something up close (1m distance) in Aperture Priority mode with f2.8 - 7.1 is not in focus while in P mode it selects f4.0 automatically and it is perfectly in focus?

Thank you so much! Exactly what I was looking for. Is there any difference to doing it this way instead of going the recipe route with more settings to change?

Good info, sir. Can you have full press snap focus and also touch screen to focus and shoot both available at the same time? That's what I'd like to do if I bought this camera. I'd mostly touch screen to focus and shoot as you could generally have larger apertures and subsequently faster speeds and lower iso than snap focusing. I'd be very keen to use the phone connection too in order to be able to get street shots when people are very near and would be alerted. I love the idea of being able to get a photo of people lining up to get off the train while they think I'm just looking at my phone. I tried to take one once with my current camera and a guy right in front of me was really angry. Hey ho.Cheers!

Thank you so much !😊

Very well explained. Thank you!

This is very useful for quickly understanding the button layout and functions they perform when you first buy the camera.

Thank you for the video, but I do have one question. What happens if the person that you lock focus on moves, do you have to re-focus before taking the shot? Thanks, Bob

It actually saves not only thumbnail to preview, but whole full size JPEG inside a RAW file. Image viewers on a computer can show it and you also can extract this JPEG using some image viewers or with EXIF tools.

Fantastically useful video, thank you!

Beautiful shots! Thanks for the adapter tip

i have the gr3 and love it. I love positive film effect but i'm having trouble getting the same color profiles in my other cameras. I just got a olympus em-1 mk1 and this helps me get close with a custom profile. but i'm still playing with the colors to get the reds just right between them. The skin tons out of the gr3 are just perfect with good lighting.

You didn't really clarify the upsides to setting the shutter-speed to a minimum of 1/10 instead of the stock 1/40. Would you mind explaining that? Amazing series tho, you helped me tons!

Pretty new to shooting but I don't understand why setting it to 6.3 in the first place? Why not go for the lowest setting even in daylight environments? I only see upsides with going as low as possible (if you are in for the depth of field obviously) - what am I missing?

Thank you so much for these videos. First thing I'm gonna do is reset the camera and start all over. Watched a lot of videos but everyone has their own preferences but at least yours are clear.

Try the Sony /Zeiss 35 f 2.8 , tiny great quality

I also still use my A7R2, fyi , best accessory I ever bought for it is the small grip extension, GP-X1EM, could not believe the difference it made in comfort , I highly recommend it.

Superbly photographed,

If only Sony made a gripless A7 series camera like the fantastic RX1 was or Leica Q or S9 are, or at least a camera with tiny, almost no grip like the Nikon Zf or Fujifilm X-T50! I am absolutely a Sony fan, but I was forced to buy into L mount to get a gripless camera with S9. I hate the left swingout screen, but otherwise it is brilliant hoy to use camera with the small Sigma i series prime lenses.

How interesting, my Siny R1/Leica Q replacement camera is the Panasonic S9 with Sigma 45mm f2.8 fantastic combo. No grip was important to me since RX1 had no grips either. I sacrificed high resolution since the original RX1 was 24M, too. I am a Sony fan, but I couldn't resist the temptation of the awesome sleek minimalist design of S9.

Interesting video, thank you. I had the RX1R and tried the same combo as you with the Sony 40mm. I didn’t like the shutter sound on the A7 though. I now have the RX1Rmkii. Nothing quite like it , even the A7c line is not quite the same vibe.

I was looking for a more modern replacement of the Sony RX1R I had many years ago. And some weatherproofing was desired. Trip to New Zealand with RX1 and I was always hiding it away. I was considering the compact Sony line but was disappointed with pixel count and the higher pixel count was a bit pricey for my needs. Thanks for posting this as I think you found a good value.

Thank you for this. For the first time in my photography Life, I wanted a specific lens instead of a specific camera first. I fell in love with the Sony G 40mm 2.5, and now you have given me the possible camera that gives the rendering I’m looking for!

Or again if you’re in a situation where you can’t spend time composing the shot, but you wanna play with DOF, you could stay in P mode and use snap distance priority. Just lots of options with this little guy!

good day, everytime im on shutterspeed priority and I adjust the shutter speed, my aperture stays at 2.8 no matter what, but iso changes just fine, any way I can make aperture adjusted by the camera?

Thanks for these videos! One area I can imagine P mode being very handy is if you're in lighting conditions where you can't see the screen, and/or are using a viewfinder. You can't really see the settings or anything, and you can basically get your intended shot.

Hey, thanks for answering, I'm a bit late to see that, sorry! What I meant is what you see on the srcreen BEFORE pressing the shutter;-) When your camera is on purpose set for low light or high key, the screen just shows the 'normal' brightness., which is confusing bc you can't tell whether you have put in the right settings for what you are going to do... The outcome will not match the screen... Mayby because i'm using set f en shutterspeed, but auto-ISO (limited) Only in full auto mode you see the intended brightness. I'd appreciate your view on this! Maybe it's normal behaviour with the camera, just to show you what it thinks must be the right settings;-) And yes! Since yesterday we (the Dutch) won the match with Romenia with 3-0, and prepare for the next matches, yey!!!

The mk4 goes to f4 after 100mm👍

Love the illustration! So helpful!

Thanks for your videos! Very helpful. One question. I shoot in M and Av. In M I want the back function button for Face/Eye, in Av I want to use the same Fn-button for AE. I want to keep these settings fixed. How can I do this?

Thanks, this helps me out a lot. Seems a bit strange to me that there is no factory reset option, but every camera has its quirks. I'll be working my way through the rest of your series.

Sorry, in my former message I was confused about the meaning of 'auto gain', because I realise that's a term primarely used for audiosettings and microphones... What I meant to say is I would like to see the lcd-screen reflecting the real image from the chosen settings - before using the shutter, not afterwards by chimping... Any ideas?

Big compliment to you, these series has made my live with the Ricoh GRIIIx so much more fun! But I encounter one big problem: the autogain of the LCD-display. That is tricky, because of the (any) brightness of the screen you don't notice shooting with the wrong settings until it's too late. Chimping for at least 0,5 sec. can be the work around, but that's a hassle. I can't find a method to set it up in such a way that the screen shows the real settings by closing down the auto gain. Have you got any advice?

I have nikon d610 full frame camera with tamron 24-70mm f2.8. Unfortunately so often I have situations when I need a bigger zoom. Now considering to sale my nikon and buy that sony and I would really appreciate it if sony mk4 owners would tell about quality of the picture? And also about camera . Do you still like it ? Many many thx . Kind regards M

So to be clear when you make the changes to the recipe they are exclusive to the preset but when you make the other changes like Highlight correction, noise reduction, WB etc. those are all Global changes that effect all shooting styles. Is that correct?

Hey - great videos. How applicable are these to the original GR, not the GR III? Thanks

Brilliant series! Thank you for your video!

In which mode AV TV .. can i use the image control? thx

I love this series! I just got my gr iii and felt quite overwhelmed since I’ve never really used an actual camera before 😅

Amazing, thank you

Great video. Your voice/accent reminds me of Michael Caine!

I set up mine to be in Av + snap, but with back button focus on fn. This setup allows me to blast randomly with a deep DoF and then focus on a single thing with f2.8 using a single button!

Great content, thanks for sharing! However, I watched the video at 2x speed and it's still too slow.

Hi, what's the 'filtering factor' of the Hoya infrared filter? How many stops does it correspond to? I'd like to use it on a film camera, but I can't find the information anywhere... Could you help me? Thank you very much.

I just ordered the RX10IV, it arrives tomorrow. I originally intended to buy used, but to find one in the condition I wanted it would be about $1200, so I went a head and pulled the trigger on a new one. I figured out that a bridge camera was right for me when I purchased the Fuji X-S1 about 11 years ago, but it's past time to upgrade.

I thought I read that the new GRII or GRIIIx HDF does not have an ND filter any longer. Can you confirm this to be the case? Thank you.

Sony a7CR 60 MP with 40 f 2.5 lens, expensive, or used Sony a7r2 42 Mp 35 mm f2.8 or 40 m f 2.5

What an interesting video. Is there an option to shoot in RAW files with no filters applied? Thank you for making this video

Hello. I do wonder what Ricoh camera is GR 102. I've been looking in internet and it seems that nobody but you knows this model. Please, can you give us (me) more details ? Thank you.
