The Ricoh GR III is a new APS-C compact camera with a 24 megapixel sensor and 28mm fixed focal length lens.Here’s an interesting perspective on rear panel versus viewfinder composing from a friend and semi-retired pro photographer, Robert Morehead. Robert told me that since switching out all his pro DSLR gear for point and shoot cameras a few years ago, he has found himself paying closer attention to the composition on the rear panel and little to no time in cropping his images in post. center-weighted, spot and the new highlight-weighted metering, which as the name suggests prioritises getting the exposure right for the highlight parts of the image. Note that this distortion is something to consider when shooting with any wide-angle lens — it’s not a flaw in the Ricoh lens, which has excellent performance specs. This thoughtful composition thing is a learning curve and part of why photography is such fun. ISO 200 f/2.8, 1/100sec ISO 200 f2.8, 1/320sec ISO 640 f/2.8 1/100sec Not a hybrid shooter Incorporating an 18.3mm f2.8 GR lens, the GR III provides phenomenal image quality in a compact and lightweight body. With an angle of view of 28mm (in the 35mm format) and fast F2.8 maximum aperture, this compact camera is able to produce clean and sharp photos, even in low light. A minimum focusing distance of 6cm also allows for some macro capabilities with a natural bokeh effect.

And before you go off on how terrible this is… Those 175 shots might be over 4 or 5 hours of shooting. So it’s not like the battery is unusable.

Hands down, my favorite feature of any GR camera is the Snap Focus mode. In a nutshell, Snap Focus mode lets you set a fixed focus distance and use aperture to create the amount of depth of field you need to get your subject in focus. The camera comes with no fewer than ten image filters - which are all customisable. Of more interest will be the HDR function, and an intervalometer that allows you to shoot in 10 minute increments for up to 24 hours. There is an multiple exposure mode, that Ricoh tells us you can overlay up to 2000 images on the same frame. The Ricoh GR III once again offers Full HD movie recording, but this time around does so at 60p as well as at 30/24p. During recording the camera can be set to continuously focus on the centre of the frame (manual, snap and infinity focus options are also available). Various image Effects including Retro and Bleach Bypass are available during movie recording, and the white balance can also be set, but annoyingly you still can't set the aperture or shutter speed, just like on the GR II, so you'll have to rely on the camera's exposure system when shooting video. It's fair to say that video really isn't this camera's strong point. As the GR III doesn't have a viewfinder (unless you buy and add the optional viewfinder that slots into the hotshoe on top of the camera), being able to move the focus point by touching the screen whilst holding the camera at arm's length is something of a revelation, for the GR series at least. 1080p Video To have a camera this small with the highest quality, you are able to take pictures everyday and anywhere. And it was through taking pictures everyday with the GR that I developed my photographic eye. And now being comfortable with the camera, I feel that I can work with any kind of camera because I now at least have developed a personal style.
