Can someone do a video about in-camera RAW development with the GRⅢ? I use it all the time. So it would be interesting to see how others approach it. For me it’s a very important feature of the camera.
@@EYExplore niiice. I loved my III so much I found and purchased a mint II based on yours and Samuel's videos. There is a lot to love between both models. It's nice to see GR II content still and proves the longevity of Ricoh's product design philosophy.
Another really good video, thank you. Be good to have a video on the different shooting modes for people who have just got the camera, maybe one on the ND filter, and maybe one on the special or lesser known features like the highlight weighted metering, the different image control settings etc
All good advice. I look for street bollards, rubbish bins and window sills to use as ad-hoc 'tripods'! I also sometimes put a mini table top tripod in my other jacket pocket, in case I want to stand the camera near the ground. Personally, I prefer the Av setting and manually set the ISO to 100. I don't worry too much about the length of the shutter speed as long as it's under 30s. Self timer set to 2 seconds is useful to avoid movement when pressing the shutter.
This makes perfect sense. Sometimes when I'm just getting a quick shot like this, I also use Av exactly as you describe. I only use Manual when I know I'm going to be taking many shots of the same scene and want a very consistent exposure.
Thanks for the inspiring video! I like to take city scapes with my GRⅢ on night hikes in Hong Kong. One problem that I run into sometimes is visible banding in dark areas of the sky. I develop RAW in camera, and I think I found two remedies: 1. turn off vignetting correction, 2. select white balance to match the sky (to not waste precious bits in dark areas)
Both very good tips! I never tried developing raw photos in camera, so I don't have any experience with banding like that. It does not happen so much when editing in Adobe Camera Raw unless I really push the shadow a crazy amount. :)
really like your videos! cityscapes are great but try some landscape too please. that would be awesome. did a few landscape shots with the gr2 myself....
Thank you for all the wonderful work you do. You look like you enjoy it. I was wondering if the GR can be be used by a person with limited right hand dexterity. In other words can the camera be controlled left handed, like maybe upside down. TYI JB
This is the first time I've watched one of your video's and it was a very well thought out and informative video! I have thought about getting a used Ricoh GR to have with me at all times. My question would a used GRii still be a good camera for 2020 or should I look for a used GR iii? Best of luck in your photography journey.
Thank you!! I think the GR II is still definitely relevant and a great deal in terms of costs. But if you can get a GR III, I would say it offers quite a bit more flexibility since it is much more capable in low-light situations! :)
There is a 'custom self-timer' setting in the shooting menu. I'm pretty sure this is it. But I honestly rarely use the self-timer on my GR. It's very easy to push the shutter release without moving the camera, so I just go for a light touch. :)
Once I had all Leica’s- Canon’s- Olympus etc And altough GR II is far from «perfect», but man it is such a fun camera and I love mine and it gonna once die in my arms😅🤣 #HighContrastB&W😍
What settings do you use for noise reduction? Thanks for your videos! I have been living in Japan and Okinawa, in and out, for about 5 years. Now in Korea. Love Japan! The best for photography! I went to the Ricoh/Pentax Store and Gallery in Ginza and purchased the leather case for my GR11.

Please, send this man GRIII 🙏🏻😁
I was about to leave the same comment haha. He's like a ninja compared to his Nikon setup.
He could probably hand hold the 1 second shutter speed with the GR III as well.
Actually, spoiler: Ricoh sent me one! We will be making videos with it soon! :)
@@hendrixg The GR III definitely makes this easier with its stabilization. :)

Is it just me or did you guys feel super anxious too when he just left the camera on the rather thin railing?
GR II content
8:59 looking like a "oops" moment :) I wwould to afraid to drop my gem

Thanks for this I tried out a couple of long exposure just the other night with my GRiii, they can out really great.
Awesome! Glad to hear that! :)
Great video. I also carry with me often a small Manfroto Mini or table top Tripod as it doesent take much space. Just in case.🙂
This is a great idea! I tend go shooting without even a bag, just the camera in my pocket, so I go extra light and then just improvise when needed. :)
Thxxx for all 🤩🤩 this griii is awesome. Thx for the help 👌😊
Lukasz @EYEexplore... you are the man. Thank you for the great, informative content. You are a great teacher👊
Great video, thanks!
Brilliant, well explained 👍 you teach things in a simple , understandable way
Glad to hear that! :)
Your video presentations are always so interesting and instructive. I absolutely love them 👍🏾

Great video thanks.
Thanks for the tips. It really helps to demystify cameras and shooting in general.

Highly valuable. Thanks
I'm slowly catching so thank you for this informative video because I don't have a GRIII
Always an excellent video. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
And GR GRii & GRiii all have a flat left side to shoot in portrait without a tripod. Some times I jam that side against at wall or pole.
I learned a lot from you mate 🙂
shiki, Saitama 🇯🇵
Glad to hear it! :)
Suppose it’s time to go shopping. I’ve been contemplating this long enough now …
Just interesting to get why one is asking me to like the video before I even started to watch it?
Because I forgot to do that part.... haha :)
Nice shoots, thank you so much.
Thank you for all the wonderful work you do. You look like you enjoy it. I was wondering if the GR can be be used by a person with limited right hand dexterity. In other words can the camera be controlled left handed, like maybe upside down. TYI JB
Thank you , i love the long exposure, what metering do you use for this.
This is the first time I've watched one of your video's and it was a very well thought out and informative video!
I have thought about getting a used Ricoh GR to have with me at all times.
My question would a used GRii still be a good camera for 2020 or should I look for a used GR iii?

Dear Lukazs do you know how to use low pass filter in order to get star trails pictures with the ricog gr iiix ? thanks! love your pictures
I did feel a bit sick when he put the camera on the railing... but would have been a good excuse to get the griii
Hahah, I got a little paranoid too!! Especially since waving my hands around while explaining things. But Ricky survived to shoot another day! :)
Great video, thanks for sharing. Quick question, do you use the self timer on GRII? If yes, do you know how to change the custom self timer setting?
There is a 'custom self-timer' setting in the shooting menu. I'm pretty sure this is it. But I honestly rarely use the self-timer on my GR. It's very easy to push the shutter release without moving the camera, so I just go for a light touch. :)

That red bus at 11:06 is cute as hell 😊
Hi, is the TAv option in gr 2 equivalent to Tv in GR 3?
1st rule of this video: move to a city with 365 days Xmas lights all over 😅
DO NOT LET YOUR CAMERA IN THE RAIL LIKE THAT!!!! If it falls there would be a lot of tears! ;-)
