Plan on setting up my Ricoh to your specs. Quit using DLSR years ago due to logistics. And iPhone worked so well. However, reached a point where when traveling I want something light and easy (check) but with the ability to us Shutter or Aperture priority or a simple Manual set up. Something not full auto but not slow and cumbersome to take both quick pics and set up pics. Hoping your settings get me there to start. Thanks for sharing and trying to take away complexity.

Great video and explanations, really like some of these practical tips. I've just picked up the Ricoh GR3x yesterday to use on an upcoming family vacation as a EDC point and shoot. I just might have found a new hobby. Thank you for posting this - subscribed

Thanks for the video - good advice about the display, I think I’ll change my settings accordingly. I prefer to use my GRiiiX as a Snapshooter, so that (for me) generally means P Mode. I use P Mode in conjunction with the different Snap Focus distances in U1/2/3. That allows me to react immediately to all photo opportunities. Because I generally shoot in P Mode, I often have the display off - that’s even more discreet….and extends battery life.

i’ve always been a full manual guy. but i started using auto iso with the xpro2, and haven’t gone back. the xpro2 had that weird iso dial, which made it annoying to change, so i went with auto.

with the gr it’s the same. auto iso. iso doesn’t affect the image creatively, and i can use compensation to change the iso if i want to. i tried messing with a priority mode, but i kept finding situations where i wasn’t able to get things the way i wanted. if im on the street it probably wouldn’t matter, but i like manual with auto iso. it’s great, and it keeps me from missing a shot because of a quick change in lighting

My opinion: P mode is superior to manual or aperture priority for almost any situation. You can change the shutter speed/aperture combo with the front wheel and do exposure compensation with the +- switch on the back. And of course the ISO can either be left on auto or quickly changed with the rear dial. I have set a max ISO of 6400 and a min shutter speed of 1/60 sec. I also like to remove info from the display. I set up the DISP button such that pushing it gives me either all info including histogram and grid lines, or no info whatsoever. 95% of the time I shoot with no info.

Have you tried shooting RAW+JPG in B&W or in color with filter look? I find no reason to not use Aperture Priority along with a Minimum Shutter Speed or 1/320 or 1/400s . I usually leave the sound off -- doesn't this camera have a manual shutter? Let know is you ever experience dust or rear dial issues over time. I believe you have my email address. Seems like over time using the monitor to compose a shot feels more natural, but I do wonder if an EVF is still essential when that monitor washes-out in the sunlight, or you just want to clearly see what the camera is seeing? With my Canon RP or Lumix GX9, I have that option. One thing I find annoying is trying to use the flippy screen on the RP. I just do not like the use of articulating / swing-out screens anywhere, and especially on the street. I think a simple tilt screen on a GR would be a nice thing to have. I am trying out PortraitMode now for posting photos. They are just starting out on their journey, and not famously used, like Instagram, but we all start somewhere. Have fun, Loren Schwiderski

Hiya, thank you for your video. Could you please tell me what software do you use for editing Raw? I've just bought gr3x and found that my C1 22 pro doesn't support this camera properly. It's frustrating that is I have to buy newer version of it.

What I don't understand is you talked about complexity, but yet you shoot in Manual mode, giving you 2 possibly 3 more settings to adjust. Wouldn't "AV" or "TV" or even "P" mode be less complex?

[Kids]

Av for day, Tv for night. I’m a beginner.

Thank god - I have no idea what they are talking about
