Had to say, the app is fantastic. So glad I decided to buy the Ricoh gr3 and gr3x, they make photography fun. Plus the print quality is very special, considering the size of them.
That was really useful, thank you. I was anticipating being able to upload recipes from the app to the camera, but for some reason i quite like having to set them up in camera. Bit of a chance to experiment and tune them to suit my tastes.
This is such a great video show casing the color capabilities of the GR. I've trying to find info like this for so long to decide between fuji or GR. You sir, are a hero.
@@elliottball9898 After having the X100F, I purchased a GRIII. I am so impressed with the Ricoh that I sold the Fuji. The ricoh files are just awesome to handle with in edits. also I feel the JPEG settings customizability is on par with Fuji or better. (compared to older fuji models) 👀
I have had the GRIII since it first arrived, and love it! So nice to travel with, fits right into the pocket without losing a lens cap! I've been shooting 95% of the time with "Positive Film" simulation and love it.... But I am only NOW looking closer at the other film simulations.
Greetings from MALAYSIA (next to Singapore) Excellent video! Always loved your refreshingly unique perspective on things, coupled to your own narrative. Keep up the great work!
Thanks very much Luke. You have a new subscriber. I have had my GR III for 18 months and didnt know about that Ricoh app even though I am a regular on Fuji X Weekly, since I also own a Fuji X100V. Creating and saving film simulations in- camera is really no more tedious on the GR IIL than on the Fuji, but the Fuji X Raw Studio app makes creating and swapping out film sims so much easier.
@@emir6110 Hi. "Better" is rather subjective. If we are talking technical performance, I don't feel there is a lot of difference. Both the 27mm (GR) and 35mm (Fuji) (full frame equivalent) lenses are really excellent. Love them =both for different reasons. The GR is so small and ensures that I can always have a camera with me and sometimes the 27 mm is what I really need. The X100V is just so beautiful and a delight to hold and operate. Again, sometimes the 35 mm is what I need in a given situation. Both cameras have qualities that keep me going out to shoot. I have a small camera bag so usually carry both. If we are talking better photos from an aesthetic or artistic point of view, there is, of course, no difference. Looking back over the years, some of my best reviewed (critically acclaimed, ha ha) photos were taken on an IPhone 4 or a Canon S90 (a great little camera). I still use my IPhone SE a lot. All cameras suit my style of photography I just love great technology and looks even if they are not a necessity.
Thanks and after c. 15 years of a GR I am starting to fiddle with these settings. It’s to bad you can create many settings but on;ly map t one of the 3 U1/U2/U3 settings. Keep up the GR love!
I recently purchased a GR3x so I'm wanting to try the sim recipes. Thanks for the setup instructions it is a bit more complicated then the fuji sims then I expected but I'm wanting to experiment with them.
Yes, Fuji definitely has a more streamlined setup, but after a few tries with the Ricoh you'll get a lot faster. I can adjust a recipe rather quickly now that I've done a few.
Didn’t know this camera had film simulation. I’ve been seeing a tone Fuji film simulation stuff recently that’s been very enticing but I like smaller compact cameras. I think a found my next camera. Thanks for the video
Glad to see GR get some love. I had the first digital version and it became my favorite camera among all my digital cameras I owned including most film cameras. I had to sell everything to move but will pick up GR III at some point. People used to laugh at me using that camera. Was the best
I liked the photographs with Americana Color. I have the first Sigma DP2, which has a similar lens to the Ricoh GR III, but the use of a computer is mandatory as the camera has not enough computational power to set correctly white balance and all the data of its special sensor. Although the Ricoh has a Bayer sensor seeing how can set so very creative JPEGs without computer is amazing, and thanks to the recipes : D I have seen examples with the positive film mode and they look nice too.
Does the Dp2 use the foveon sensor? I've heard people rave about the sigma colors. I almost bought one on ebay a few months back (I can't remember the exact model) but I ended up not doing it.
@@LukeTaylorPhotography It has the foveon sensor. To my personal tastes the colors are in theory beautiful but sadly they shift when there is not enough light or it is underexposed, or get too electric due to the sensor clipping highlights too fast for not much dynamic range (and I live close to the equatorial line which has harsh sun) It is like its usability is limited to a soft late afternoon diffuse light. And the beautiful colors are 99% of the time only available processing the RAW in the Sigma software which is painfully slow, and even so I then process them in the LensDistortions app. 😅
So if you save it as box 4 how can you access it then if not with the U3 wheel? Also, does that save setting save the changes you made in the menu, like no noise reduction? Just got a GRIII X so trying to figure it out. Thank you!
I AM GOING TO BE A GR3 OWNER NEXT WEEK - BUYING IT OFF A BUDDY OF MINE! I HAD NO IDEA, THAT RICOH HAD FILM SIMULATIONS!!! I CANNOT WAIT TO GET THE GR3 IN MY HANDS!!!!! I REALLY DIG YOUR VIDEO AND HOW YOU WENT THRU THE CAMERA SETTINGS EASILY EXPLAINED! SUBBED!!!🤘🏾🤘🏾
this is great, but how do I recall the settings in Box4,5,6? I can save to them but how do I recall those it when I already have u1, u2 and u3 already in use.
I enjoy setting custom color and monochrome simulations using my Olympus Pen-F. It has a color wheel, levels of saturation and contrast for both color simulations and monochrome filters. Nice to use a color wheel instead of various menu items. Not a big fan of the standard Olympus Art Filters…. but the PenF’s color/mono wheel is great!
I wonder if the e-m1 has something similar. Maybe I haven't looked in the menu deep enough. I'll take another look. Other than the standard art filters, I love my Olympus.
Awesome video mate, I could listen to you all day, you have a really nice demeanour. Still tossing up between this camera and one of the Fuji's for the film sims, does seem a lot easier on the Fujis but I like how small the Ricoh is.
Thoroughly enjoyable and very helpful! Thank you for sharing! You shouldn’t be too critical of your photography skills. I saw some great shots! Keep going and just stay away from flag poles on stormy days! Lol
I saved a Monochome Profile on Box 4 because I wanted to save the U1-U3 for other profiles. How do I apply the filter I made when shooting without using the dial?
i am struggling with reproduce my look from the internal JPEG on the RAW file with my MAC Foto Software (Capture One). Any tipps/tuttorial/websites that help ? thanx...
Thanks Luke... How to get back my original "positive film"? it seems the royal supra settings become my new positive film... i cant find way back to original setting
Thanks for that, v helpful! I'm a big fan of the Ricoh GR, the perfect pocket-camera. Also very much like the reportage pictures, fascinating and well taken.
amazing video i enjoyed it a lot, but if you would filter out the white noise it would lift it to the next level it is really distracting and it's an easy fix
Thanks for putting this out here. It has intrigued me. I just use the presets on my GRiiiX and did not find anything to complain about. So am I correct to say this only works for the jpeg files and not the RAW files?
You can save 6 settings and then use the "Recall" menu item to assign your 6 saved settings to one of the U1, U2 or U3 positions on the dial. So a bit more storage for custom settings, but not a lot!
Hi Luke, thanks for the video that is very interesting and also helpful! I can't understand one thing tough: if I save more than one recipe in U3 (for instance), how can I switch then between those different recipes under U3? Thankssss!
Some people don't like to post-process their photos. They prefer to use their JPEGs straight out of the camera. But yes, the same thing can be done in Lightroom.
I found that out of camera sandard shots from Fuji were not satisfactory, so i needed to play with sims. Then I got the GR3X and the standard profile is excellent, maybe a tweak here and there to contrast and WB when needed, but the colours are very natural in the standard profile so i don't really look to use sims with Ricoh in the same way that I did with Fuji
Really interesting, especially on how to enter the recipes. Have you tried Develop Raw which allows you to modify Raw image in camera and create a jpeg once you finish your modifications?
Thanks G N... The choice between the GR III and GR IIIx is a tough recommendation. I really don't think you can go wrong with either camera. I don't mind the wider focal length on the 3 because I can crop in to 40mm if I want. I have a feeling I'd miss the wide angle if I didn't have it. For me the GR III seemed most utilitarian, but if you prefer a camera with a little more reach, the GR IIIx would definitely offer more. I haven't personally tried the GR IIIx but I have a feeling i'd love it just as much as my GR III
GR III is more "forgiving" that GR IIIx (as wider focal lengths are). Anyhow, I picked the GR IIIx because cropping to 40mm doesn't give you the same perspective than shooting with 40mm lens (face proportions, etc), and I want the camera to document my family live, trips, etc... With small kids I love to be able to shoot a little far away so I can get candid moments.
Thanks for the explanation. I like the in camera colours but would be nice to experiment. Are you just resetting the settings after you’ve saved in U1, U2 and U3 to get the original Ricoh colours back?
I typically keep U1 set to my everyday profile for shooting RAW with the standard Ricoh settings. I put the film simulations on U2 and U3 and save over them when i'm ready to try some new recipes.
@Dee Seejay you can have 6 custom sims that I remember, but you only have 3 options in the dial for quick access (which should be allowing you to store some other things apart from the film sim
hi, I'm GR ii users and looking for this recipe directly from the web. for some film, they mention vividness and i can't find vividness scale on my camera. perhaps you know it?
I own a Fuji X100V and a Ricoh GRIII. My favourite cams. I value the Fuji film simulations as much as I do the Ricoh ones. The Fuji ones are very tasteful, the Ricoh ones are more In Your Face. But positive film (these reds) and high contrast black and white on the Ricoh are just great. In this regard Ricoh is as good and important as Fuji.
Didn't know ricoh had this. I might have to sell my x100v and buy me a Ricoh GRiiix. One thing that stops me from changing to another camera system is the fuji colors.
I had Gr2 and the coluors are unbeatable. Now I have Fuji Xf10 that is a beast!!! But Ricoh is better, indeed cost double, so, in the end Fuji Xf10 deliver much more. We need a Gr4 with more Mp and a 2x zoom
@@LukeTaylorPhotography thanks. Shame, cause with new sensor , new battery and new anti dust system, Gr4 could be sold for much more and be the diamond of any amateur photographer in the world
Great video - thanks. Do you use Snap Focus and is it effective? - I’m probably going to buy the 40mm equivalent GR…..but it’s a hard decision - Peter.
Hi Peter... Yes, I use snap focus all the time. Its a feature I never knew I wanted until I had it... I love it. I haven't tried the 40mm GRIIIx but I have a feeling I'd really enjoy it.
You're a great photographer and, might I say, the sexiest man alive. A cross between a young Elvis and Ryan Gosling. Just sayin'. Setting up those color profiles look antiquated and watching all the damn buttons you had to press gave me a headache. That's O.K., but do you think Ricoh will have a GX lV someday?
Hi I'm trying to decide between the GR iii and GR iii x. I think I want to go with the wider lens which is the GR iii. Is there anything else I might be missing out on? Also, this is a great video. Great to know those simulations can also be done on the Ricoh.
Такое чувство, что видео и фото сняты на телефон 2010 года выпуска. Ни деталей, ни цвета, ни динамического диапазона - вообще ничего нет, что выдавало бы камеру за $1000
IMO, these are all merely FILTERS, albeit being given more sophisticated names. Of course, there are filters that aesthetically produce the trendy type of colours and looks advertised by social media and hence, lusted after by enthusiasts who’re very busy within photography social media. Fujifilm cleverly exploits its users by making them enthuse, advertise and create continued hot news and hot debates over Fujifilm’s filters called “Film Simulations”. I have been using Fujifilm and GR3 since 4yrs ago. The above is the USP of Fujifillm. Ricoh cleverly plays a different game. Instead of enthusing about filters (exclusively done by Fujifilm), Ricoh exploits its Key Opinion Leaders, many of whom are unemployed, to enthuse, promote and talk about street photography, fun & compact size, snap focus etc. In the end, they are all merely FILTERS. I would like you to try 2 apps: FILMROLL ProCCD Imo, they are wonderful and convenient in capturing the analogue film look. Based on your pics taken in Albania, im very sure the 2 apps will give you stunningly lovely results in Albania. Currently, im hooked onto both apps and loving them to bits🤩🤩
Hey JK Low! Thanks for the input. Yes, I agree, the "film simulations" are essentially glorified filters. I'm excited to try out those apps you mentioned. I've not heard of them. I'm going to download them today.
Trash talks about fuji and ricoh film simulations being 'merely filters' while in the end promoting apps that add analogue film filters to photos... the irony is not lost.
Learn to have an open mind, to explore all avenues with no biasness. Fujifilm and Ricoh are good stuff, but they are not everything. Its just that both brands have been cleverly advertised on English-based American social media. If you explore other non-English based photography sites (which Im sure you dont) the situation is very different. So, most English-based photography enthusiasts are confined within their own English-based playground where the “star” is often the X100V, GR3, newer Sony stuff etc, where M4/3 are bad-mouthed etc. Its the same old game.
I have a Ricoh GRIII and I legit had no idea you could add film sims like this!!
Had to say, the app is fantastic. So glad I decided to buy the Ricoh gr3 and gr3x, they make photography fun. Plus the print quality is very special, considering the size of them.
Yes, the image quality/size ratio is unbeatable.
what size do you typically like to print?
That was really useful, thank you. I was anticipating being able to upload recipes from the app to the camera, but for some reason i quite like having to set them up in camera. Bit of a chance to experiment and tune them to suit my tastes.

Great video, very helpful! One question, I wasn't sure in the video whether you ended up chucking the Moody Monochrome setting?
It never really caught like the Fuji X sims because with the latter cameras is way easier to set it all up.
Cool stuff. I'm going to play with this today.
Have fun!

Are the U modes on the dial the only way to save custom recipes ?
Hi Luke,
How do I save a new setting to U4, U5, U6 since are no option for it on the dial? I appreciate your guidance. Thanks.
You can save 6 settings and then use the "Recall" menu item to assign your 6 saved settings to one of the U1, U2 or U3 positions on the dial. So a bit more storage for custom settings, but not a lot!

Is there a benefit of using these recipes rather than getting a similar effect in Lightoom with a preset perhaps?
Some people don't like to post-process their photos. They prefer to use their JPEGs straight out of the camera. But yes, the same thing can be done in Lightroom.
Awesome effort ! Thank you

What if you want to save more than 3 presets? Can you assign to other function buttons?
You can save 6, but only 3 can be assigned to the U1..U3 buttons.
@@rccasgarI’m really not happy about that, only 6? I want to save more than that! But oh well
You're a great photographer and, might I say, the sexiest man alive. A cross between a young Elvis and Ryan Gosling. Just sayin'. Setting up those color profiles look antiquated and watching all the damn buttons you had to press gave me a headache. That's O.K., but do you think Ricoh will have a GX lV someday?
Amazingly small but i prefer a7c for street
I haven’t tried the a7c yet... it definitely beats the GR III in the autofocus department
Hi I'm trying to decide between the GR iii and GR iii x. I think I want to go with the wider lens which is the GR iii. Is there anything else I might be missing out on?
Also, this is a great video. Great to know those simulations can also be done on the Ricoh.
The only difference is the focal length
Did you get the 3 or 3x? You happy with it?
Without an EVF, Fujifilm will always be the winner😊
You set your white balance wrong, it’s the opposite of what you did.
No he never it was done correctly
Not bad at all but quite different from fuji
Такое чувство, что видео и фото сняты на телефон 2010 года выпуска. Ни деталей, ни цвета, ни динамического диапазона - вообще ничего нет, что выдавало бы камеру за $1000
Because the camera doesn’t look vintage
Lots of babbling on. Why can’t you guys be like the Brits and Europeans; just get on with it.
🦅'merica
Europeans talk a lot of crap and act like experts on everything. 😂
Bro stop talking so much and get to the point
boo hoo hoo...
IMO, these are all merely FILTERS, albeit being given more sophisticated names.
Of course, there are filters that aesthetically produce the trendy type of colours and looks advertised by social media and hence, lusted after by enthusiasts who’re very busy within photography social media.
Fujifilm cleverly exploits its users by making them enthuse, advertise and create continued hot news and hot debates over Fujifilm’s filters called “Film Simulations”. I have been using Fujifilm and GR3 since 4yrs ago.
The above is the USP of Fujifillm.
Ricoh cleverly plays a different game. Instead of enthusing about filters (exclusively done by Fujifilm), Ricoh exploits its Key Opinion Leaders, many of whom are unemployed, to enthuse, promote and talk about street photography, fun & compact size, snap focus etc.
In the end, they are all merely FILTERS.
I would like you to try 2 apps:
FILMROLL
ProCCD
Imo, they are wonderful and convenient in capturing the analogue film look. Based on your pics taken in Albania, im very sure the 2 apps will give you stunningly lovely results in Albania.
Currently, im hooked onto both apps and loving them to bits🤩🤩
Hey JK Low! Thanks for the input. Yes, I agree, the "film simulations" are essentially glorified filters.
I'm excited to try out those apps you mentioned. I've not heard of them. I'm going to download them today.
Trash talks about fuji and ricoh film simulations being 'merely filters' while in the end promoting apps that add analogue film filters to photos... the irony is not lost.
@@SIQmai
They are filters.
If not, what are they?
@@macallanvintage apparently it got lost on you. It's ok, it's really not that important.
Learn to have an open mind, to explore all avenues with no biasness.
Fujifilm and Ricoh are good stuff, but they are not everything. Its just that both brands have been cleverly advertised on English-based American social media.
If you explore other non-English based photography sites (which Im sure you dont) the situation is very different.
So, most English-based photography enthusiasts are confined within their own English-based playground where the “star” is often the X100V, GR3, newer Sony stuff etc, where M4/3 are bad-mouthed etc. Its the same old game.
