Manual exposure mode in these conditions helps a lot in order to achieve correct exposure.
Manual Focus Mode With the manual focus mode, you can make fine adjustments to have the perfect focus.

RAW shooting capability RAW files contains much more color information compared to JPEGs, and gives you more room for post processing without significant quality loss. They provide wider dynamic range and option to recover shadow and highlight clipping to some degree.
Large APS-C (23.7 x 15.7 mm) sensor Large sensor in Ricoh GR II ensures a good low light image quality compared to smaller sensors, and it also provides higher pixel quality compared to smaller sensors.
Average Resolution Sensor: 16.0MP Ricoh GR II's 16.0MP resolution is not ideal for landscape photography but you can still achieve large prints with good framing and technique.
