I can never explain any photography related things with such clarity to anyone even I am a photographer. :) You're a photographer and also a great educator. First time seeing your content and I love it. Thanks Matti!
GRIII is very capable and customisable camera, even though it looks simple, it's quite complex and feature rich. multiple focus modes and button customisation options make it a very flexible camera.
Rather than set your Ricoh to snap distance priority it is better to choose manual focus, auto ISO, 1/500 of a sec(for example), snap focus and then change the aperture to vary DOF. This to me is better than snap distance priority because it allows you to have snap distance priority by changing aperture at your chosen exposure speed. I do not like to shoot at 1/40 of a sec. This is a common exposure speed the Ricoh will use in snap distance priority. If you use my method it is the same as snap distance priority. Set the camera to snap focus, can choose the exposure speed and the camera will choose the appropriate ISO for your aperture (DOF). This also works if you have a camera set up with back button focus. My Z8 shows me the focus distance in the viewfinder. So, I could set the focus to 3m by manually focusing. Then set the camea to manual, auto ISO, 1/500 of a sec. Then changing the aperture will vary my DOF with my camera set to focus at 3m. This means my Z8 is now set to snap focus priority. Simple if you use back button focus.
congratulations, nice video! especially for the idea of experimenting.. I've had my gr3x for 1 week and I would like to make the shots more immediate and cleaner, I still have to understand the snap mode.. Thank you
Focus is an important Mode in photography and it needs to be practiced. Great point Matti when you said to experiment, that's the only way to nail it. Very important subject is Focus and you presented it beautifully. Thanks for this video. 😊.
I thought one of the modes you talked about was going to be what some manufacturers call trap focus where you set a distance and the camera takes the photo when the subject is at that distance. It would be handy if the camera could automatically set the focus to the hyperfocal distance for your selected aperture and distance range. That's something I'd actually use.
Thanks. I have no video on the recipes but I should probably make one. I think you can't save the exp comp value in a recipe but I might be wrong. After all, exp comp is something you'd dial in after you first evaluate each photo situation. I have a GR playlist, please take a look: ruclips.net/p/PLkkZKkR0lgqkRwelW-mDgztjsEu3Im5TS
That was very helpful. At this moment I'm thinking to turn my GRIIIx into more like point and shot camera where P mode is not helpful at all. Any recomendations how can I set my camera to being more point and shot?
Very constructive advices as usual Matti! I love GR III x as well. Just a question Matti: do you know how, in Mode M, changing the EV corrector position from the wheel? My fingers are always touching the wheel and then, changing the EV correction in a un-expecting way..
Can anyone help me, does the camera's LCD live view shows the proper exposure when changing the aperture or shutter speed? Mine is not showing especially in low light situations.
May I suggest you test what works for you because we all have a slightly different shooting style. What works for me may not work for you and vice versa.
If you watch the full video you should be able to understand. In Snap Distance Priority you choose the DOF you want and the camera sets the appropriate aperture.
@@mattisulanto I did watch the full video bit still don't understand it. If you choose snap focus in aperture mode, and i dial in F8, the aperture (distance) stays always the same.
@@rafamorenoc Thats such a shame. Mine failed too. I blame that on Ricoh. I payed such a high price for this camera and now they want me to pay 200 euros for reparing the wheel.
@@mattisulanto Thank you for responding. If you ever feel like you want to, you can reply under this comment. By the way your content is amazing, and I saw a lot of potential for getting viral.
Wow, someone who actually knows how to instruct in a concise, accurate and easy to understand method without the fluff, thanks Dude.

Thanks. You may want to watch my GR playlist. It contains many GR videos: ruclips.net/p/PLkkZKkR0lgqkRwelW-mDgztjsEu3Im5TS
It is basically like using a manual lens on a SLR or rangefinder ......Thanks for explaining
Thanks!

Thank you.
@@mattisulanto Your welcome Matti 😊
thankyou sir. im loving snap focus . cant fully make use of snapndistance priority cause my wheel dial is broken
Thanks. Sorry to hear your camera is not working properly.
That was a very wonderful and very helpful video presentation. Thank you very much.😊
You're very welcome!

You can do that with the Snap Distance Priority.
Thank you very much. I did not understand Distgance Priority before
You are most welcome.
Thank you very much, it is very well explained
You are welcome!
Excellent explanation and good video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your video! Are you able to help me with how to edit exposure compensation when adding Ricoh recipes? Do you have a video on this?

Great explanation. Thanks!

You could add exp comp to the ADJ menu. So when you press the thumb "wheel" you can access the exp comp.
Merci beaucoup Matti!@@mattisulanto
very interesting
I think so too!
Thanks for explaining both features.
Our pleasure!
Can anyone help me, does the camera's LCD live view shows the proper exposure when changing the aperture or shutter speed? Mine is not showing especially in low light situations.
I am confused about general AF is af zone suitable for street with moving subjects or is that just af continuous? Confused.
May I suggest you test what works for you because we all have a slightly different shooting style. What works for me may not work for you and vice versa.
What is de difference between SDP and set your aperture manually? When choosing DOF1/2/3 it sets a aperture as well.
If you watch the full video you should be able to understand. In Snap Distance Priority you choose the DOF you want and the camera sets the appropriate aperture.
@@mattisulanto I did watch the full video bit still don't understand it. If you choose snap focus in aperture mode, and i dial in F8, the aperture (distance) stays always the same.
Love my GR3's but the rear dial fail on both :(
So sorry to hear that.
@@mattisulanto Fortunately don't need too much for my settings so could use them almost all the time :)
@@rafamorenoc Thats such a shame. Mine failed too. I blame that on Ricoh. I payed such a high price for this camera and now they want me to pay 200 euros for reparing the wheel.
