![]() ![]() but I have a reservation about starting with a custom white balance, as it effectively neutralizes your color. You just have to make your usual custom white balance with a support created for your specific camera, that will deliver consistent results. Untill the tests will be ended I prefer to not reveal all the particulars.Īnyway, for the user there's nothing exceptional to do, there isn't any hacker firmware or snake oil or something like that. If the system works as expected this would be re-usable also with SD15s, DPs and SD1s that show un-natural casts. ![]() If you got any suggetion or hint please share them with me. The shots has been taken around the sunset. The following shots are simply converted to jpeg in SPP without any colour correction.Įnjoy'em (these are "test shots", just taken to test proupose) ![]() Whishing there are still SD14ers out there that will enjoy this hard work! I asked a couple of e-friend to beta-testing a way to resolve the issue for any SD14 (in my objective just 6 raw files from a camera will be enough to solve the problem) Who has used extensively an SD14 knows that AWB and Custom WB gives images that are not usable without caring the colour correction in SPP. When I got this little camera new, in a so-called “Creative Set” with the wide angle adapter and add on viewfinder, it felt like a compromise from the start – I didn’t really want yet another compact camera with a wide-angle lens, I was much more interested in an entry level DSLR such as the Nikon D50 with a nifty-fifty.īut a friend of the family – and more importantly also my father – managed to convince me that the Ricoh GR Digital was a truly extraordinary miracle and it would be a wiser choice for me to step up to it.įollowing on from Hamish’s thoughts shooting his recently discovered Ricoh GR Digital, I asked him if I could share my story of shooting one from new in 2007.After months of research and tests PROBABLY has been found a way to fix "in camera" the colour casts that ruin SD14 shots and that enhance the noise blotches in high iso shots, as well as render un-natural sky and skin tones in some images. In retrospect, they were right, but initially, I was quite disappointed. All I really wanted is shallow depth of field, but I ended up with a wide angle lens paired with a tiny sensor which was anything but a bokeh machine. I had to learn to compose with the 28mm equivalent lens, accept the limitations of the camera, and use it to my advantage. Over time, I grew with this camera and started to like it for many many reasons. The camera was truly pocketable with a brilliant control layout – I found I could operate it with a single hand… and I don’t just mean that it is possible to take pictures with one hand, but in fact, all important settings are reachable single-handedly. I became a huge fan of the button layout and customisation options the camera had to offer. The Ricoh GR Digital is also made of magnesium alloy and so it felt premium in my hand.Īs a result of the small size and practical use, I took this camera literally everywhere with me, and used it for every possible photography scenario I could come up with. I took it hiking, skiing, parties, concerts and all kinds of business and personal trips. It survived -25 degrees Celsius at the Niagara Falls where mist from the falls got instantly frozen on any surface. I took it out at night for long exposures or for flash photography. I used it for panoramas, and experimented with HDR as well.Īll in all the GR Digital served well for many years of heavy use and tackled all the situations I threw it into.įirst of all, this camera shoots DNG. For the first 2 years, I had no idea about post-processing and about the benefit of shooting RAW.
