    • @chrishewson40

    • @SamuelStreetlife
      @SamuelStreetlife  5 лет назад +1

      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
      @SamuelStreetlife  5 лет назад +1

      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.

      @SamuelStreetlife  5 лет назад

      I meant touch to release the shutter. No autofocus before that. It's not possible on the GRIII. I often prefocus and then wait for the moment. By just touching the screen to take a photo I could be more stealthy when shooting street.

    Thanks Samuel for this very instructive video! I am curious about the film simulations and modifications that you do to those (saturation etc), which look very interesting.

    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.

I'm only able to resolve this by setting the shutter button to AF+AE lock. Still, the video is a very nice walkthrough of camera settings.

  • @timur7381
    @timur7381 5 лет назад +10

    Question - I can't seem to setup full press snap when I'm using the Fn button for triggering auto-focus, and setting shutter button to only lock AE. Is there a setting I'm missing? Full snap seems to work fine if I'm using the shutter button for triggering AF, it jumps to whatever distance I set for it. But with Fn button being the AF trigger, whichever way I press the shutter button it stays on the point I focused on with the Fn button ignoring the snap distance.

    @Samuel: i really do not get this snap focus topic and maybe you can explain it to me a little better.
    I have 2 scenarios.
    1. i set AF to back FN button and exposure to shutter button:
    - so if i focus in infinity with back FN button and lock exposure with shutter button how do i then take a snap? Do I need to release AF back button and shutter button and quickly press (without half press) shutter button even if shutter button is set to Exposure lock only?
    2. i set shutter button to AE+AF lock:
    I guess i need to release half press shutter button and quickly press it again (without half press)?

    Help! How do you use snap, when you're on AF and focusing with your Fn-Button? When I now push the shutter (without pressing Fn first) the image is not sharp at all. Does the shutter have to do the focusing? (Am I stupid?) Why is it beneficial anyhow, to focus with your Fn-Button and not with the shutter-button?

    • @SamuelStreetlife
      @SamuelStreetlife  4 года назад +1

      unfortunately the snap focus mode doesn't work when fn focus is activated... But it also wouldn't make sense because you usually use back button focus to hold a focus so that you can take multiple pictures even when subjects walk infront of your scene and it won't affect the focus point. If Snap focus would be available then, you would have to hold the FN button while using the shutter button. You could also do that with the regular shutter buttom by holding the shutter half pressed (once you focused on subject) and take pictures while in half press mode to hold the focus. Then do the full press shutter for snap focus. This is a easier way to use snap focus. But it would be nice if it would also be available for back button focusing.

    • @NemesGabor83

      @@SamuelStreetlife Hi and thanks for the great videos. I found the work around to have full press snap focus and Fn button autofocus at the same time:
      1. In Still shooting menu:
      -'Focus' to Snap
      -'Full Press Snap' to On
      2. In Customize settings menu:
      -'Shutter button setting' to AE Lock
      -'FN Button Setting' -> 'Fn button' to Enable AF
      -'FN Button Setting' -> 'Focus settings' to Select AF (or whatever apart from 'Same as shutter' or ' Snap')
      This way you have the ability to autofocus with the FN button while retaining snap focus ability by full pressing the shutter.
      Keep up the good work and stay safe! Cheers

    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.

    Fantastic review, extremely helpful, thanks!
    Just one question: If you use the fn button to lock AE instead of back-button focusing, you can operate very similarly with locking the exposure and then recomposing to centre-focus, but you don't have to disable the shutter to work both for snap focus on full press and normal focusing on half press. Is that not a better way of doing it (you would still leave the centre-weighed exposure metering of course)?

    • @Lehmannbeat
      @Lehmannbeat 4 года назад +1

      @Paul Fensome Yes, it works very well, I just tested it for you. Be aware that you have to keep the Fn button pressed to achieve AE lock, but that's not really a problem (other cameras give you a menu option to press to lock and press again to unlock, which I prefer, but that's a minor issue).

Thus I am disappointed in the GRiii, given its long and legendary history that the only book I can find is in Chinese and can not find any complete run thrus on how to set up the camera menu. You do a pretty good job here and on a podcast you did with a guy in a striped shirt, but it still leaves questions. Took me the longest time to figure out where the other 3 user settings were for example!! (recall). I know it would be a boatload of work for you or someone, but I would certainly appreciate a COMPLETE video on settings, perhaps even a downloadable pdf or website. Maybe some day when there is another lock down and you have the time???? Your knowlege of the GR seems the best I have seen on the web...is there another source I could go to? Thanks for any support.

    I recently got to know about the brand RICOH. A genuine question. Why is the GRII still appreciated and used in 2020. It is a 13 year old camera. What makes it special ?
    Thanks..

    For a settings nerd like myself, the amount of customization that Ricoh offers is awesome if not a tad overwhelming. All standard film presets with fully customizable options, plus additional custom settings, and then multiplied by 4 for U1, U2, U2, and standard drive modes? Sheesh.

    When you said that you would love Ricoh to let you shoot by touching your screen ... I think it does have it in that same screen you showed at 14:42 (AF Point + Focus + shoot )

    Great video. You covered a lot of stuff at high speed but kept it very clear. I had to use the back button quite a lot to reinforce some of the points but that's just because I am new to the GRIII.

    Hi Samuel ! Your videos are huge help for us.
    By the way, i think I having hard time to understand about back focus technique. You said you like to focus middle and recompose the angle so you use FN button for focusing and press shutter button for capturing the image. But why do you need to use FN button as focus button when you can easily use shutter button as focus button by pressing it half? Is there any benefit from using Back button focus techniques ?

    • @MrWiseinheart
      @MrWiseinheart 2 года назад

      He has his set up so that a half press shutter button locks the exposure, so first you want to focus by placing the focus box area on the subject you than press the FN button locking the focus, than you point to an area that you want the auto exposure to meter from than you half press the shutter to lock the exposure, recompose the shot and click all the way the shutter button. This way you have total focus and exposure control whole composing a shot the way you see fit

    THanks for a great video. Newbie question: I noticed in Manual mode once I select shutter speed and Aperture with Auto ISO my shutter speed does NOT stay at my selection as I move the focal point around. That confuses me as I thought those were locked into my selections in Manual Mode. Is there a setting I need to change via the menu?

    Man, you put some much pressure on me by your videos that I had to drive to Manhattan camera store in a middle of all this Coronavirus craziness, and buy GRiii in emergency mode. I tried it yesterday going to Bronx. Tons of bad photos but several that I really I liked. I realize that this toy needs to be studied and practiced. Huge thanks to share your knowledge. The main challenge to me is the lack of EVF. In bright light I basically shoot in blind. Any idea how to help it? Your admirer forever. Irina.

    • @SamuelStreetlife
      @SamuelStreetlife  4 года назад +1

      Hello Irina, that is wonderful to hear! Congrats to your GRIII. It is a great documentary camera for these crazy times we are in right now. Not having a Viewfinder can be a problem sometimes but for me the highest brightness setting is usually bright enough. Ricoh also made two optical viewfinders that you can attach to the hotshoe. They are very plain viewfinders with no communicating to the camera so I would only use it if I absolutely cannot see anything. That's all the options you have unfortunately. And I agree with you, the GRIII is camera for photographers with some experience. But once you set it up the way you like it, it becomes very intuitive. Even I learn new ways of using the GRIII almost every day :) Happy shooting & stay safe, Samuel.

    Superb video thanks, Just upgraded my beloved GR Digital II with a GRIII. Really informative as to the differences and the personal settings is most helpful. Only had a chance to take a few pics so far - all by P mode with very light editing in Lightroom and the results are sumptuous!
    Different type of question: I intend to use the optical viewfinder, old GV-1, with my GRIII and wonder do you have an appropriately sized camera bag/pouch that fits the GRIII with the GV-1 attached?
    Danke.

    Note : The highlight priority is available on most of the Olympus camera. Got an OMD EM10 mk2 before getting the GR, and it was present (since 2014) with highlight and shadow mode.
    And I guess it's not specific to Ricoh to have this feature.

      I hope you have concidered it well because the camera that is right for me doesn't need to be right for everyone. You also cannot compare a system like fujifilm with lot's of different camera bodies and lenses to a single compact camera that has a fixed 28mm lens :) The GR can be a great addition to a fuji kit. Just don't want to be give a false image and want everyone to make their own decision :)Because I love 28mm, the GR is ideal for me.

    How do you use Full Press Snap and back button focus? If I set shutter button to only do AE lock, that basically disables Full Press Snap. No matter how fast I press shutter button, it will just take photo at current focus distance. Which is what you generally want with back button focus.

    • @SamuelStreetlife
      @SamuelStreetlife  5 лет назад +1

      The thing is the snap focus doesn't work anymore when you set your shutter to AE lock. It is really frustrating to me as well. That's why I had to set up my user mode 2 for snap focus so I can switch between back button focusing and snap focus. I hope Ricoh will fix this in the future.

      @jaroslavsladek3367 5 лет назад

      @@SamuelStreetlife, thanks.
      You can also have on of the buttons set up to quickly go to snap focus mode, instead of dedicated mode. But then you're using extra button.
      Personally, I gave up on back button auto focus because of this. But I have my drive button set up to take my to MF when needed and use it a lot. I also have my Fn button set up to perform Select AF no matter what mode I am in. So I'll be in MF mode, using Fn button to focus via Select AF, and when I need another focus mode or Full press snap, quick press on Drive takes me to last mode used, which is usually some AF mode and FPS works. A bit clunky, but one thing I like about MF mode is that I get the distance scale at all times.
      Let's see if Ricoh does anything, though I don't really know how that would work.

Thank you for sharing so much of your experience. Very impressed with your cool walk through of your settings …

  • @xnajx
    @xnajx 2 года назад +1

    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.
