Ricoh GR3 GRIII Crop mode explained - It's awesome!
Ғылым және технология
Hi everybody,
In this video I would like to shine some light onto the Ricoh GR3's crop mode. This feature of the GR3 and its sister model GR3x is underrated in my opinion and deserves a closer look.
Please help my channel grow. Like and subscribe. Have fun with your photography. I wish you always good light :)

Thank you for the helpful video Herb!

Fuji XF10 crops and upscales in camera. Very nice

Yes, just like the X100F did. The problem with upscaling in the camera is, that you always will end up with a jpg and you are locked in what the camera software can do. If the camera would turn out a cropped raw file, you can choose an external upscaler (like Gigapixel or similar) and those get better as time goes on.
I'm surprised that more people don't talk about this mode. I didn't realise that it was unique to Ricoh that it cropped the RAW file instead of a jpeg. Love this camera!

It's not unique to Ricoh. Leica does it with the Q, I think. But it is definitely the best way a crop mode is implemented. The GR3 is fantastic!

Is there really a difference? Or just crop in lightroom later...

@@DoKaTS There is no difference in image quality between the internal crop modes and during post in light room later if you shoot raw (DNG). I find the internal crop mode more convenient as I can compose in real time during the photoshoot and don't have to replicate it in post.
It depends which processing software you use. For instance DXO photolab shows the cropped DNG file, while Affinity photo opens an uncropped DNG file.

Good info. I have never worked with Affinity photo. I use Lightroom 5.7 and shows a cropped DNG file. I assume the new Lightroom versions do the same. I definitely prefer the cropped DNG file to work from.
Can you do the same explanation with the GRIII X

It is exactly the same on the GRIIIX. As I explained at the end of the video it's only the cropped focal lengths that change. You have a equivalent of 40mm to start with, 1st crop mode will be 50mm and the second 70mm.

This is an excellent overview. Thank you. In built crop vs 50/70mm lens. Won’t that just crop it too?
