As usual, great ideas for my next trip

would be great if you add the "mode" you'r shooting like Aperture/Shutter Speed or fully manual to get some feeling what of the shown data in the pics is handled by the camera or by the photographer. As always a very informativ and stimulating episode.

Thank you! I didn't include it because for it to be relevant then I'd have to add tons of other info (Auto or Manual ISO, the metering mode, and the exposure compensation). But I can tell you for sure, that if the shutter speed is 1/250 or faster, then I am using Av + Auto ISO. If you see the shutter speed below 1/250, often 1/60 or slower, then I am using M + Auto ISO. Those are my two main 'modes' of shooting, as I once covered in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eKmqx7KDqsS5mNo.html

So sharp with long exposures!!! That camera is powerful!

I didn’t know Liam Neeson is a street photographer..🤭🤭🤭

I’m stuck between getting the GR iii or the GR iii x. I grew up shooting on my dads Contax t2 so I’m use to using a 35mm lens. This will be my first digital point and shoot and I’m having a very hard time choosing, it’s all not cheap. I also know the 28mm lens on the GR iii is the classic lens for gr cameras so I don’t know if I would be missing out on that front . Any reasons to go one way or the other ? Or if there is one that is more user friendly I like shooting people but I also like shooting landscapes as I travel often .

My 8.1 megapixel GR digital camera has a 5.9mm lens, also because of the tiny sensor, its a 28mm equivalent. Huge depth of field

So with regards of the focal length, would you suggest gettin the gr iii rather than the gr iiix since you can crop to 35mm but you can't "uncrop" to 28?

what does the !AE warning mean?

Woah, the perspectives in the first three locations are so cool! Thank you for unlocking them for us. (And, yes, the math is off. A crop factor of two - i.e. same field of view as a 56 mm equivalent focal length - reduces resolution to six megapixels.)

How does the math work? I've never been able to grasp sensor size with field of view and pixels per inch from a CMOS sensor to a full frame.

@@AlexsaurusRex If you look at the size of a full-frame sensor and an APSC sensor you can compare the dimension. APSC is about 22-23mm wide, while full-frame is about 36mm wide. 23 * 1.5 is (not quite, but close to) 36. It's actually closer to 1.6x crop factor (23 * 1.6 would be about 36). Basically, the full-frame sensor is about 1.5x bigger than the APSC sensor. So a given focal length would have that much more FOV. So, conversely any lens on APSC has an FOV that's 1.5x tighter. Since FOV is a consequence of focal length, we can just multiply the focal length by the same factor and get corresponding FOVs. So, a 20mm lens on APSC has the same FOV as a 30mm lens on Full-frame (more or less). And finally, cropping is the same thing. If I crop an image an image from a 20mm lens by 30% I will get an image that's about what a 30mm would have produced. For the pixel pitch, you need to also square the change because then you're considering the area not just the length/width of a side. So, imagine a 16 pixel sensor, it must be 4 pixel on a side (4 x 4 = 16). If I make the sizes halve as long, it's now 2 x 2 which is only 4 pixels. So a 50% 'crop' results in 1/4 the resolution. I think explained this very poorly, but it's the best I can do without diagrams. :)

@@AlexsaurusRex For geometric relations, it’s best to approximate the lens as a pinhole. Now think how the FOV changes when you double the focal length. Replicate that field of view by cropping. A quarter of the sensor’s area will be used. In the case of the GRⅢ, that’s six megapixels. Unfortunately, I cannot add drawings here, but you can take a ruler and a pen yourself.

Are you in snap focus at what length?

@EYExplore

2 жыл бұрын

When I use snap focus (which is not always) I typically use either 5m of 2.5m.

um.. f/8 s: 1/250 and ISO 1600 at the daylight? Isn't it too noisy?

@EYExplore

2 жыл бұрын

Not really. I don't know which shot you're referencing, so maybe it would have been fine to shoot at f/5.6 and 800 ISO, maybe 1/125 and 800 ISO, but anyway, 1600 ISO on the GR3 is perfectly fine. :)

I shoot the X-70 even though I like it less than the GR, only because flip screens are a deal breaker for me in street. I wish I had snap focus or some of the other benefits of the GR, but I basically live at f5.6 and hyper focal at about 2m, so I can get the 1.5m to almost 3m.

Flip screens are nice thing to have, but I personally prefer the tiny size of the GR. Anyway, it's great to have different cameras for different situations! :)

I always wanted a Fuji X70 because of it's field of view which is also a 28 millimeter equivalent and tilt screen, but ended up with an Olympus EPL 5. Paired with the Lumix 14 mm. It's a great little combo.

@@photomorti As for the scarf, I imagine he`s more comfortable with that than a regular mask. I agree I'd rather wear one like this if using the LCD screen for shooting. I did this for a short time when visiting Kyoto last November. Using the viewfinder of a camera can cause the finder to fog up when exhaling, though many/most regular masks cause the same issue. There are some masks that do not do this though. But as for the mask itself, why to wear one, he probably felt that he'd make too many others uncomfortable if he didn't have anything. In Japan, you think of everyone else more than you think about yourself, basically. It's nice in many ways, but in Japan, honestly, it is to a fault. I wear a mask many times when I know it's completely stupid (I actually feel it's always stupid) because it will make others uncomfortable. If I wasn't in Japan where it's normal to inconvenience yourself for others, I wouldn't. Edit: I guess the cold weather is a key factor as for fogging the viewfinder though. In Kyoto in November it was an extreme annoyance until I found a mask that didn't cause the issue. Until then, however, I wore a scarf much like the one he is using here. Generally preferable to other types of masks, though they all suck.

why you need mask???? camera wont catch corona hahaha

This street photography in tokyo topic/theme is getting very boring. Always the same area, always the same boring photos. Already seen 100 times by 100 photographers. Nothing independent, nothing original. Are you running out of ideas at Ricoh?
