Oh so that's what it means, because I tried looking into the manual but I don't see anything in reference to that

Finally I purchase a Ricoh GR II such a great camera, I'm a learning how to use my camera by reading guides and the manual as well. I noticed that when I am focusing I get an icon on the screen that I don't know what it means, I tried to look on the manual but I don't see it anywhere. I hope you guys can help to figure it out, here is a link of it:

What is focus peaking? How do you use focus peaking? when do you use it?

I'm going to buy that book I have a simple one in where he explains what it means the dials on your camera what aperture, shutter speed and all that. The book I have is "BetterPhoto Basics: The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Taking Photos Like a Pro" by Jim Miotke. I like it so far.

I noticed that it does work but when is too dim it doesn't work quite swell but anyways I need a good tripod.

I was watching some cheap remotes at Amazon and also I was watching some cool manfroto tripods I was reading that you need a tripod so your pics don't get blurry

That's what I've been doing lately some of my pics are really dark or too bright, I keep playing with the settings until I get the optimal pic or what I think is the optical picture.

But for me I take pics when the sun is going down because is not too hot and also everything looks cool hehe a lot of sign light turn on, cars light and other stuff. Also I like to shoot at night, what are some good tips for shooting at night?

I guess I'm the same sometimes people ask me why do you always have your camera with you? is because I'm learning photography.

That's what I want to learn, I want to learn about exposure, aperture, shutter speed and all those things. I don't want to use always auto mode I want to know about the f stops and so on. Thank you for the book and for all the info you have been providing not only you but the other people that has contribute to this thread.

I might need to look into those forums, because I was doing some research into that camera and it's nice but I was wondering about battery life

I know I need to keep playing with my camera take lots of pictures and look for that picture that gathers my attention. As it right now I'm enjoying my Q system .

Is it a good thing to have AA batteries on a camera or disadvantage? Because I noticed that the Pentax K100D super has 4 AA batteries.

Indeed that is true I need to look up for tools for this hobby that is growing day by day no matter what is the situation I always like to be prepared and this won't be the exception. As for that KR camera I'm going to look for it right now that's going to develop more my skills I guess since it has more control over the av, tv, p, m, and all those dials on the camera. How did you guys LEARN about photography? by school, hobby like me or how?

Thanks I was looking at something like this I wanted to compare the fish eye with the other lenses. Like you said the 01 lens is very expensive I think I'm going to get a Used Q system with a 01 if I can find one.

I like the idea of buying a second hand DSLR because right now I'm on budget, like you mentioned before if the camera lacks video I don't mind. My Q has video and I never use it I only use it to take pictures, going back to the DSLR that you mentioned before they're in a considerable price because I've seen some DSLR going up to a 1,500 or more.

Thanks Denny for your great response that gives me another point of view of how to look at things now, you been in this field longer than me and I respect people with experience because you can learn a lot from them. Usually what I do with my Q system is go out and take pictures of people, signs, buildings or something that gather my attention. I usually shoot on the street like in my local farmer grocery, on the bay area or downtown. This may sound silly but I carry my Q all the time except for work but besides that it's always on my and since it's so small it doesn't bother me at all. I have been developing a thing for photography I read all the time about photography or watch pics that you guys post on the forums, they're very unique and interesting. Again thanks for all the experience you provide.

Wow you have a lot of information, by any chance do you guys have a thread in where they show the different type of q lenses and pics taken by them. What would be a good starting DSLR a K3 or is way out of my league Hehe, I'm not going to buy it soon but I would like to know. Because as I am learning I would definitely want something with more features. BTW thank you for the info I'm going to do a little research in those lenses and adapters.

I know that's true but for instance that I'mm learning what camera should I buy next? I simply do this for hobby, but I would like to learn photography well.
---------- Post added 09-12-14 at 09:27 PM ----------
Sometime in the future I would like to upgrade to a DSLR camera by that time I hope I learned all the basics so I can understand all the bells and whistles of a DSLR camera.

I really like the 02 lens but I need a more wider lens I want to capture more stuff, even though I'm planning on buying all the lenses I would like to know if I can put other type of lenses with a mount converter or something like that and if there is one can I see some examples ?
Thanks

I was reading the review on that lens and I think I will buy that one and the fish eye later. Also I would like to get the 08 but it is way out of my budget right now.

Hello I pick up a Pentax Q7 and it came with a Standard zoom lens, I want something more wider and I was thinking on buying a Prime lens or the Fish Eye lens. The question here is what should I buy first the 01 or the 03 lens ? ;)
