Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 Portrait Photography Detailed Analysis
Large APS-C (23.6 x 15.7 mm) sensor
Large sensors provide shallower depth of field and a nice blurry background for your portrait shots.
RAW shooting capability
RAW files contains more color information compared to JPEGs, so it is easier to get a natural skin tone and colours during post processing, which is very important for portraits.
External Flash Shoe
Use of External flash creates many creative lighting opportunities for portrait photography. Techniques like bounce and fill-in flash will make your portraits stand-out from the crowd.
Manual Focus Mode
You have to nail the focus perfectly for a good portrait shot. Compact cameras are not great at focusing at low light and complex lighting conditions, so manual focus mode is very useful at these times.
Manual Exposure Mode
A correct exposure of portrait model is crucial. Even though modern digital cameras features advanced algorithms to calculate the right exposure, they still may fail some difficult conditions. Manual exposure mode in these conditions helps a lot in order to achieve correct exposure.
Average Resolution Sensor: 16.0MP
Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5's 16.0MP resolution is not the best in its class but you can still manage relatively large prints of your portrait shots and crop without losing too much detail.
Average Ergonomics&Handling
Good handling and existence of well placed physical controls on the camera body is very important during portrait shooting. It is faster and more intuitive to change the camera settings with dedicated buttons and knobs instead delving into the menus on the LCD.
No Image Stabilization
Due to the lack of sensor based Image stabilization, Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 users have to rely on lenses with optical IS in order to maximize the sharpness of their handheld portrait shots. Currently there are native mount lenses with Image Stabilization for Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5.
