Reggie, you're a genius! I'm just about to ditch my X-T and look for the tinier GRIIIx, but I feared to miss your Fuji recipes (Portra is my fav). Now, I can get them again. Many thanks!

You can save up to 6 Custom Profiles - 3 User slots & each one can have 2 individual Profiles, just don' forget to save the User Slot before turning off the camera or switching User slots.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yup

[@JoshCameron]

You’re killing it dude, best video I’ve seen out there on Ricoh sims , and arguably the best sim I’ve seen so far (at least for my tastes!)

[@pedestriantactics]

FYI the shading part that you skipped is a vignette around the edges. You can make it lighter or darker with that setting.

[@Sam_Fu]

Thank you for sharing this! Can't wait to test it out!

[@Simpaiii]

Just went out with my brand new GR3 for the first time today. Packed all 6 Banks full with different recipies and l have to ask you... what kind of sorcery did you use on this recipie,dude?! LMAO. While some others worked quite well on some fotos, everytime I went "WOW, this one turned out beautiful." it was taken with your recipie. So long story short: THANK YOU, man!

[@kbstabs5982]

Thanks Reggie. This looks very nice.

[@Reggiebphoto]

It indeed does :)

[@sayhowling]

hey um i recently commented on one of your videos, saying im waiting for the perfect time to get the GR3. and you said now or never, guess what- i got one for $670! insane. thankyou for the push. will be using this recipe!

[@jpocruzz]

Hey Reggie, thanks for the video! Absolutely love your recipe. I just got a GR3 to use as a daily camera sort of thing, and I would LOVE if you could do a quick video going over your settings, shooting mode and any other tips that could help people who are new to the Ricoh cameras. Thank you so much!

[@Reggiebphoto]

Hoping to do that down the road. What settings are your curious about?

[@jpocruzz]

​@@Reggiebphoto I'd love that! I believe a quick overview of what camera settings you use (exposure metering, auto iso, etc) and then a bit more about what shooting mode you use (Av, Tv, full manual, maybe some custom modes if you use them) and some tips about how you get your photos to look like they do (what you try to look for while shooting, what you try to adjust, how to shoot indoors or outdoors, etc) I'm sure these are things I'll end up figuring out eventually and with time, but it would be REALLY helpful to get some insights into how people with more experience are already doing it, especially because you have some gorgeous pictures. I have basically zero experience with photography, so I'm sure something like this would help a lot. Thanks a lot!

[@AntonicontHandmadeLures]

I second this request. Those photos may be among the best on KZbin when it comes to Ricoh GR III. We truly need to know how you set up this beautiful camera. Looking forward to it!

B&W Recipe please. This color recipe is great! Thanks for sharing.

[@CMSigua]

very informative video about Ricoh. so far Thank you!

[@natehynson1081]

The Shading setting adds (or subtracts) vignetting. You mentioned setting the Shadow Contrast to -1 to preserve some shadow detail, but that's going to darken your shadows. The Shadow Contrast setting is a bit counter-intuitive, e.g., negative numbers make it darker (possibly crushing details), while positive numbers make it brighter. +1 for B&W recipe video!

[@Reggiebphoto]

🙏🏽

[@loushared6602]

+ 2 for the B&W recipe video!

[@yawarlol]

Does that mean setting shadow contrast to +1 is better?

[@natehynson1081]

@@yawarlol if the intended effect is to bring back more shadow detail, then yes, positive numbers will achieve that. I find it helps to think of it like exposure compensation that only affects shadows (or highlights if you're adjusting highlight contrast).

[@Reggiebphoto]

No means I just explained it wrong lol. My settings were right

[@lionelmessi-kv7ye]

i dont like the negative usually, but i love this one. thank you!

[@pierre-yvesbaranger9674]

[@DJsColoringArt]

Do you also have a recipe for the positiv film? I have the Ricoh gr III and everytime I try to get the update for the negative film the update fails so can't use that one.

[@dibrindisigiuseppe]

Is there any similar alternative for the GR II?

[@AndG463]

Thank you. Seeing your recipe in this video pushed me over the line to get a GRIIIx. I have a newbie question. After changing the image control settings, you also changed white balance, noise reduction and dynamic range. Can these changes also be stored with the image control settings as C1? Or should it all be saved to a box/U1?

[@Reggiebphoto]

They are outside c1 a so it gets saved globally

[@MrEcruz70]

love it! The filter you use is a 10 or 20% density?

[@mariog1441]

Yes. We need the B&W. Thx

[@JJ-ni3qo]

Is it right ya can get fuji sumulations with that ricoh????!

[@Reggiebphoto]

Not Fuji simulations. But yea Ricoh has film simulations

[@1234eyes1234]

Hey people, do you use an uv filter to protect your camera - what do you prefer: the one to put directly on or the one with an adapter? Thanks!

[@Reggiebphoto]

You can’t put one directly on without using adhesive thst could possibly risk damage of the front lens housing

[@1234eyes1234]

@ thank you. That indeed sounds cruel.

Reggie this preset looks amazing, massive thanks for this! One question - lots of your shots you showed as examples here look like you used highlight weighed metering on them, was this actually the case? if not what's your preferred AE mode to shoot jpegs in? Thank you!

[@gregparish743]

Hi Reggie, Great video. I shot on a GRii and just getting more into recipes. Do you happen to have a recipe for this film simulation for a GRii? Thanks

[@Reggiebphoto]

[@HarrisKiakotos]

Reggie you forget the B&W man!!!! Cmon

[@ChrisBrogan]

I wonder if Ricoh could poll their GRIII and IIIx users' devices just how many have u1 set to Reggie's Portra and your B&W on u2.

[@Reggiebphoto]

I don’t even use mine this way lol. U1 2 3 is for different minimum shutter values for auto iso

[@ChrisBrogan]

@@Reggiebphoto - ohhhhhhh. Well sugar!

No scroll wheel issues. I have dust in my gr iiix not my gr iii: you can see examples of the dust spots at the end of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXLTo2RofaabZ80si=slTQ3e3celPrnE-w

[@samdecock1496]

Love it. Thank you for sharing this! I’m looking forward to trying it out. I’ve mainly shot and edited raw files on the Ricoh and while I absolutely love the raw output and flexibility, it somewhat clashes with how I use the camera. Would love to see what you’ve been using for B&W. I’ve been using a fairly contrasty recipe thus far that works, but I’ve loved the light/style you shoot in. Registering my interest and appreciate the time you put into this video!!

[@bitbloggist]

Thanks for the video, Reggie. Is there a reason you don't save your presets to U1,2 or 3?

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yes because I use u1 u2 and u3 to save different minimum shutter speeds for auto iso

[@RobertVanderStelt]

Great video! So what Ricoh do you find picking up more often? The 28mm or the 40mm?

[@Reggiebphoto]

it's 50/50 tbh.

How did he you do the last step where the back button becomes a shortcut to 5 settings? Thanks!

Interesting. Do you shoot with negative exposure then? -1 stop?

Changes based on the shot. I’m always altering my exposure comp or shooting in manual

great Recipe! why don't you use different profiles for switching (the wheel on top of the camera), but rather different settings and the menu?
