Hello I have just bought a original GR (thanks to the influence of your videos) I am a beginner photographer and love the nostalgic film look the positive film effect offers, other than the effect tweaking you show in this video is there any other settings you recommend I change on the camera for best results. I’ve noticed the autofocus is not the best not sure if there is anything I can do to help with this. I really appreciate your help with this video makes such a big difference and help to first timers like myself.

Dear Jakop, which file (Raw, jpeg) do you prefer while shooting positive effect mode.
@JakobIglhaut4 ай бұрын
Only jpegs store the color treatment of effects, raw is only raw data. So you can only get Positive Film color if you shoot jpeg. I however always shoot raw+jpeg so if I want to make adjustments to the jpeg I can use in-camera raw development. Hope that helps :)

Interesting video. I just sold my GR3 because I far prefer the Positive Film setting from my even older GRD IV. This little trouper released in 2011 has out-survived a GRI I owned, but then very shortly after developed the dreaded 'won't focus or fire' fault. Very depressing how poorly these cameras are built/made. My next pocket camera will probably be an Olympus TG-7. But I will never part with my GRD IV, as it is such a beautiful thing capable of such beauty.

There are the older models with a small 1/1,8" sensor called GR Digital or GRD. This series goes from GRD I to IV. Although they also have their qualities they really feel like older digicams, lower Mp count and slow to operate. Then the GR was released and soon after the GR II.

The difference is caused by pixel density. The same thing happens to Nikon DSLR after the D700. To this day, the D700 produces better color and film-like look.
@JakobIglhaut Жыл бұрын
Partly maybe...but the difference predominantly stems from the way sensor output is interpreted and converted from raw to jpeg from the cameras image processor. The difference is thus rooted in software I believe. Newer sensors might also provide better signal to noise ratio and engineers are likely trying to squeeze every last bit of dynamic range out of those. I guess that results in flat looking images and by aiming for neutrality in colours they also seem more dull. With the new Positive Film effect they seem to have gone for that more modern look too...protect the highlights, save the shadows, don't oversaturate... Love my D700 by the way ;)

Later, if it or I brake it, I'll attempt the 3 (still ridiculously cheap for what it is) for the ibis, suposedly better DR, Mpx count and lower noise. But I can't wait for an hypothetical GR IV, see what they'll come with this time...
Hi, I think my Positive film settings were inadvertently changes in my GR II. Would anyone know what they are supposed to be ? (Saturation, sharpnes, etc. , mine are all at 5.) Thank you for any insight...
Per default they are all set to 5.
@@JakobIglhaut Interesting, thank you. I wonder what the settings are when the effect is set to off...
Hi Jacob, when you say original GR, you mean GR II? Or?
Hi, I mean the first GR with APS-C sensor released in 2013. The GR II is virtually the same camera plus Wifi. Positive film looks exactly the same on the "original" GR and GR II.
