Do not exit · 07:21 PM

I'm attacking my backlog of pictures from 2016, when I was trying to find a pocketable camera I could love. (Spoiler: the answer was always the GR, but repeated instances of dust on the sensor means it's not for me.)

This sign is at the exit of a parking lot near my house. Drivers regularly ignore it.

Does it not have a "sensor clean" function? Periodically I see dust marks on photos taken with my K-30, but they are always gone on photos taken after I've turned the camera off and on {each on/off invokes "sensor clean"}

No. In fact if you search the internet for "Ricoh GR sensor clean" you find a bunch of discussion about taking it apart to clean the sensor.

If there's ever a GR III (or whatever) without this problem, I will buy it and use it forever. The unpredictability of where and when dust would appear made the one I had too frustrating to use.
