The GR IV is small enough to carry all day, but its menus and controls can take some time to sort out.
This guide walks through the camera from the settings that affect everyday shooting to the features you'll use when things get more demanding.
You'll learn how to set up Snap Focus, Face and Eye Detection, Auto ISO, minimum shutter speed, metering, RAW and JPEG recording, white balance, Image Control profiles, User Modes, and more. It also covers the GR IV's silent shooting options, crop modes, continuous shooting, bracketing, interval shooting, multiple exposure, and external flash settings.
The book also spends time on the little decisions that can make the camera easier to use:
- Choosing the right focus method for street work
- Building a practical exposure setup
- Setting ISO limits for changing light
- Comparing RAW and JPEG files
- Creating User Modes for different situations
- Getting Positive Film, Negative Film, Cinema, and Monotone profiles working the way you want
- Setting up Snap Mode and Full Press Snap
- Working through common focus, exposure, file, and menu problems
There are also field-test examples throughout the book, so the settings aren't presented as isolated menu options. You can see how they come together for street portraits, high-contrast scenes, changing light, and other everyday situations.
If you're new to the GR IV, use the book as a starting point. If you've already been shooting with it, use the reference sections to fine-tune the setup and find the controls you haven't explored yet.
