I use ISO 400, P mode and snap at 2.5m most of the time. DOF isnt realy make any obvious difference but sometimes i do adjust aperture in P mode whenever i need.

I shoot jpg + braket b&w and ratio kept at 3:2.

AF assist lamp turn off.

Power button indicator light turn off.

Mute all sounds.

Hi!
Any one keen to pick up some color lens ring for GRDIII/IV?
I'm putting up a 3rd round of orders for a couple of chaps overseas.
Drop me a PM or you can check out the MO thread. Thanks!

If never remember wrongly this is what I custom set on the dial - 16:9 aspect ratio, jpg only. Positive film, low vignet. Aperature priority, auto iso to 3200. No noise reduction. Snap focus. No lights no sound. I also turn off the image stabilizer cuz it kinda sucks battery.

I have almost the same setting from m1 to 3. Just different colors. Cross pro/positive film and bb

Just curious.
Wouldn't saving to both RAW and JPG give you more options to play around with later if the need arise, though it does take a while to save to memory after each shot (or at least that's what happens for my GRD III).

Well, some people may have configured the in-camera processing to their taste and need not be bothered with post processing.

For me, I'm very pleased with the photos in colour and black & white right out of the camera. There are people like me love the photos produced by this camera.

The performance of the camera will slow you down when shoot RAW too.

Really? I haven't noticed that with the IV.

It does show a visible slow down on GRD III.

Actually, I use the photos as is without post-processing. Never had the tools/interest to do that
Should really consider disabling the RAW mode for my next trip as it shows a visible slow down for the GRDIII.

Hi guys! I've just gotten my copy of the Ricoh GRD IV! Really amazing! However is it normal that it produces a certain noise when it focuses? Pls advice me on this! Thanks!

I don't know how they followed up but having me waiting and make me called personally for several times to to find out the status is totally unproffessional. It really pissed me off.

I was the 1st that asked for wooden grip it took them 1 month in total from checking stock with japan, pricing and fixing. Didnt need to call them to chase. They followed up with me whenever got updates. Overall experience was good.

Ooohh... lucky for you then. I envy you got it.

I did not chase them at all. They told me to gave them 1 weeks/ 2weeks but they did not followed up a call to me. Then I had to call them to find out and gave me the same reason no news from HK. I had called too many times until my patience had worn off for them. So that's my unfortunate experience. No luck for the custom grip but gratefully I have no factory defects from any of my Ricoh products so far cos I dun wish to deal with the local agent anymore.

Share a cool toy for Ricoh GRDs. The hot shoe on GRDs is one of the feature that separate the rest of compact cameras.
