希望理光能够提供更加个性化的结束画面更换功能

目前的固件理论上完全支持用户自行上传个性化的结束画面到相机,只需要在app中增加一个图片尺寸格式规范化的流程即可,希望理光可以提供这一个性化功能

Great cameras, terrible app

One of the Worst Camera Apps I’ve Ever Used — Absolutely Embarrassing

The GR WORLD app is a spectacular example of how to ruin an otherwise excellent camera experience with absolutely terrible software. You would think that a company selling premium cameras could manage to develop an app that reliably connects to its own products and transfers photos without turning the process into an exercise in frustration. Apparently, that’s asking too much.

Connecting to the camera is an exercise in patience. Transferring images is unnecessarily complicated, unreliable, and frustrating. Connections fail, transfers stall, and what should be a simple, seamless process becomes a tedious troubleshooting session. Instead of spending time enjoying photography, you’re wasting it fighting an app that seems determined to make even the most basic functions difficult.

What makes this especially infuriating is that wireless image transfer is hardly some revolutionary technology. It’s a basic feature that photographers reasonably expect to work. Yet the GR WORLD app makes it feel like you’re trying to establish communication with a spacecraft using equipment from the 1990s.

The user experience is poor, the reliability is questionable, and the overall performance falls embarrassingly short of what should be expected from a modern camera manufacturer. Judging by the complaints photographers have raised about connectivity and image transfers, this is not simply a matter of one person having a bad day with their phone. These are fundamental problems with a feature that should work consistently.

Ricoh deserves credit for making cameras that photographers genuinely enjoy using. But the software experience is another story entirely. A great camera paired with terrible companion software is still a frustrating experience, and no amount of excellent image quality excuses this level of inconvenience.

My verdict: Completely unacceptable. Ricoh needs to stop treating its companion app as an afterthought and start delivering software that actually works. Fix the connection problems. Make image transfers reliable. Simplify the process. Test the app properly before pushing it onto customers.

Until then, GR WORLD feels less like a useful photography tool and more like an obstacle standing between photographers and their own photographs. If you’re considering a GR camera and expect a dependable wireless workflow, consider yourself warned.

Great cameras. Terrible app. Ricoh, do better.

GR2只能传照片

显示GR2可以使用,确只给传输照片,传照片我还需要单独下一个软件吗?索性直接别让GR2用咯

已经蛮好了

能不能把图传开了,还有如果软件可以直接给保存在手机的raw更改风格滤镜再转出jpg就好了

酷いですね

画像を転送するという基本性能ですらままならず、サードパーティ製のアプリに劣ります。
アプデはこのような状態で放置されてながら、カメラは抽選販売。どこに向いてビジネスをされてるのか心配になります。
カメラを実際に使い、撮影する人に向けた事業展開を求めます。
