Ricoh GRIII Camera Settings for Street Photography

Quick Guide to My Ricoh GRIII Camera Settings

The Ricoh GRIII is a really simple camera once you get it setup the way you like it. There’s so many menus that it can seem a bit confusing at first, but the beauty of this is that it allows for lots of customization for each photographer to find what’s best for them. I set my camera up simply so that the only buttons I use is the shutter and the adjustment lever on the back to set my exposure compensation for moments when I photograph towards the sun. Feel free to follow along with this video or slideshow with screenshots below!
