Wow, someone who actually knows how to instruct in a concise, accurate and easy to understand method without the fluff, thanks Dude.

[@mattisulanto]

You're very welcome!

[@WilsonHoPhotography]

I can never explain any photography related things with such clarity to anyone even I am a photographer. :) You're a photographer and also a great educator. First time seeing your content and I love it. Thanks Matti!

[@mattisulanto]

Thank you for those kind words.

[@petertasker_nz]

Beautifully clear. Superb video, thank you.

[@mattisulanto]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for explaining both features.

[@mattisulanto]

Our pleasure!

Thank you very much, it is very well explained

You are welcome!

[@barret8]

GRIII is very capable and customisable camera, even though it looks simple, it's quite complex and feature rich. multiple focus modes and button customisation options make it a very flexible camera.

[@PikPikkabbu]

Thank you very much. I did not understand Distgance Priority before

[@mattisulanto]

You are most welcome.

[@DA-yd2ny]

It is basically like using a manual lens on a SLR or rangefinder ......Thanks for explaining

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks!

[@seaeagles6025]

Focus is an important Mode in photography and it needs to be practiced. Great point Matti when you said to experiment, that's the only way to nail it. Very important subject is Focus and you presented it beautifully. Thanks for this video. 😊.

[@mattisulanto]

Thank you.

[@sophiemillward4515]

Love your video! Are you able to help me with how to edit exposure compensation when adding Ricoh recipes? Do you have a video on this?

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks. I have no video on the recipes but I should probably make one. I think you can't save the exp comp value in a recipe but I might be wrong. After all, exp comp is something you'd dial in after you first evaluate each photo situation. I have a GR playlist, please take a look: kzbin.info/aero/PLkkZKkR0lgqkRwelW-mDgztjsEu3Im5TS

[@francovedovelli2341]

very interesting

[@mattisulanto]

I think so too!

[@sunjaneme]

congratulations, nice video! especially for the idea of ​​experimenting.. I've had my gr3x for 1 week and I would like to make the shots more immediate and cleaner, I still have to understand the snap mode.. Thank you

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks. You may want to watch my GR playlist. It contains many GR videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLkkZKkR0lgqkRwelW-mDgztjsEu3Im5TS

[@caw25sha]

I thought one of the modes you talked about was going to be what some manufacturers call trap focus where you set a distance and the camera takes the photo when the subject is at that distance. It would be handy if the camera could automatically set the focus to the hyperfocal distance for your selected aperture and distance range. That's something I'd actually use.

[@mattisulanto]

You can do that with the Snap Distance Priority.

[@mvchek]

That was very helpful. At this moment I'm thinking to turn my GRIIIx into more like point and shot camera where P mode is not helpful at all. Any recomendations how can I set my camera to being more point and shot?

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks. I don't understand why P mode is not helpful at all. What do you mean by "more point and shoot"?

[@Yves-xe5jw]

Very constructive advices as usual Matti! I love GR III x as well. Just a question Matti: do you know how, in Mode M, changing the EV corrector position from the wheel? My fingers are always touching the wheel and then, changing the EV correction in a un-expecting way..

[@mattisulanto]

You could add exp comp to the ADJ menu. So when you press the thumb "wheel" you can access the exp comp.

[@Yves-xe5jw]

Merci beaucoup Matti!@@mattisulanto

[@mattisulanto]

Thank you for the support.

[@willgreig8912]

I am confused about general AF is af zone suitable for street with moving subjects or is that just af continuous? Confused.

[@mattisulanto]

May I suggest you test what works for you because we all have a slightly different shooting style. What works for me may not work for you and vice versa.

[@djiflyer7577]

What is de difference between SDP and set your aperture manually? When choosing DOF1/2/3 it sets a aperture as well.

[@mattisulanto]

If you watch the full video you should be able to understand. In Snap Distance Priority you choose the DOF you want and the camera sets the appropriate aperture.

[@djiflyer7577]

@@mattisulanto I did watch the full video bit still don't understand it. If you choose snap focus in aperture mode, and i dial in F8, the aperture (distance) stays always the same.

[@rafamorenoc]

Love my GR3's but the rear dial fail on both :(

[@mattisulanto]

So sorry to hear that.

[@rafamorenoc]

@@mattisulanto Fortunately don't need too much for my settings so could use them almost all the time :)

[@Milan-cf1xe]

@@rafamorenoc Thats such a shame. Mine failed too. I blame that on Ricoh. I payed such a high price for this camera and now they want me to pay 200 euros for reparing the wheel.
