The amount of work that you have saved me in guiding me through the bowels of this camera is worth far more than the few dollars I paid. You have made photography accessible on an artistic level.
Thank you for sharing your settings. I recently bought a GRIIIX HDF as an every day carry and to supplement my main camera. I’m still figuring out the right setup for it. It is a deceptively powerful camera. Looking forward to more content from you with that camera.
Hi Peter, Greetings from the New world! The rude comments motivated me to send a small gift to your pay pal account. As a long time follower of your RU-vid channel I appreciate the work you do to educate and inspire your fellow photographers. Thank you !
Thank you very much. It is a bit slippery slope when making this content on RU-vid. It takes a lot of work and there are people who like it and it helps many.
In my personal experience, a minimal shutter speed of 1/400s or even 1/500 has worked out the best, with only rare moments when I did not capture an image without blur. During the evening or in lower light, it might be OK to lower the speed to 1/320s, or even 1/250s which freezes most normal movement. I am using auto focus, and will half press the shutter button at a distance, but guess work, where I most likely will be taking an image, just to get to a closer range. That way, when I press the shutter, it usually finds the target, focuses and locks in well. I love how fast and accurate Lumix GX9 is, with most of the MFT lenses. The Leica 15mm is great on the street. I use Nikon, and other cameras the same way. Always try to help the auto focus be close to where it needs to be. For portrait and architecture I agree, the 1/125s, is enough. Glad you like the Gr IIIx, a light carry! - Loren
Hi Peter, Thanks for your explanation. I use Olympus PEN-F for street photography and I customized C1 to C4. It is a nice and small camera. You were used to Olympus for many years. I'm wondering why you have chosen for GR3X in stead of Olympus PEN-F, or for instance OM-D E-M10. Would you comment on that?
@@johnstephen2869 The PEN-F was introduced in 2016. So the technology is now somewhat dated. Nevertheless, it is a pretty fast camera. And small, fits in a jacket pocket. And in any case much smaller than the OM-1, which I also use, and OM-5 probably.
Im more inclined to go GR3 but im curious on the GR3 vs the x100VI but i did buy my daughter the x100-6 and it is pretty awesome. More of a JPEG monster and fun
Fuji X100VI is a great camera. I have not tested it, but I did test the X100V and I suspect that the experience is quite the same. X100VI has one important upgrade that is very important, IBIS. For me X100VI would propably be too big. I like a small and not so fancy looking camera. Smaller camera is easier to carry around and it makes me invisible too. But I do agree that X100VI is a great choice for many. Fuji has really hit the nail with its newest camera.
@ForsgardPeter the main reason I want the Ricoh is its truly a pocket able camera with great image quality. From holding the x100VI, you need a big coat pocket. Everyone is waiting on a GR4, and if that happens, my om1 gets sidelined for nature only. I won't need my 18mm, 20mm, or 45mm anymore, lol. It's just too big, and I feel like a dumbass walking around for everyday photography with an OM1.
Hi. Thanks for the video :-) I wondered what the rectangular hood you have on the Ricoh is please? The one on Amazon is expensive and gets bad reviews for falling off the camera
Hello! Thanks for the helpful video! One question as I just received a GR3X today. In my AF settings, I do not have "Zone Select AF" as an option, any ideas on why?
@@ForsgardPeter I was just asking, it was confusing to me. As I see later that the shadow lightens by going positive numbers and highlights vice versa.
HEY! I love snap focus on my Ricoh Gr IIIx. Lets me capture so much that I would have missed otherwise. I just put out a short where I use it to catch cool shots of my wriggly dog who cannot sit still lol. Check it out if you got 56 seconds to spare. Love your black and white work man. THat stair shot at the end was slapping! Subbed =)
I am sorry, because RU-vid makes me watch too many unwanted advertisements I am stopping to follow RU-vid channels. While the infestation with advertisements might be a good message for RU-vid shareholders, but for me it is a waste of time.
Sorry to hear you go. The content is free and a small support is something that makes it possible for me to make the free content. If you watched the video you propably know that I offer the settings pdf for free.
disjenmgn: Lol who are you? You're acting like you leaving is something horrible for Peter. Like he's going to pace around his house with the lights off and playing the song Mad World all because you left his channel. Gtfoh man, you're not important
