Build a Ricoh GR look

Ricoh GR looks are usually built with Image Control and white balance settings. Available effects and ranges can differ by model and firmware.

For Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx family

Step by step

Set it up in four steps

  1. 01

    Choose a GR recipe

    Check the recipe’s camera notes and identify its Image Control base, such as Positive Film or a Custom slot.

  2. 02

    Enter the look

    Set the Image Control values, then copy white balance, color shift, exposure and any other listed capture settings.

  3. 03

    Save it for later

    Register the setup in a user mode or custom setting supported by your camera. Give the preset a clear name if available.

  4. 04

    Make a test photo

    Compare the camera JPEG with the recipe sample. Lighting and exposure can change the appearance substantially.

Good to know

  • Image Control effects are most directly visible in camera-made JPEGs.
  • Custom slots and firmware features vary across GR models.
  • Back up your settings before replacing an existing user mode.

Camera menus vary by model. For exact controls, see the Ricoh GR III support and Image Control ↗ and your model’s manual.
