GRPS makes it easy to automatically start and stop location sync from your iPhone to your Ricoh GR III and GR IV cameras. Once the initial connection is made, the app will automatically wake up and start syncing whenever your camera is powered on with Bluetooth enabled within range of the iPhone – even in the background! This allows you to reliably get up to date location information in your images without having to interact with an app, set an explicit duration for location updates or excessively drain your iPhone battery. Basically, set it up once, then forget about it. GRPS also allows you to easily sync your photos to your phone library.
NO RAW
This app helps you manage your photo library by identifying and deleting large RAW photo data. It can also convert RAW files to more space-efficient formats like HEIF or JPG, freeing up storage on your device.
- Identifies RAW + HEIF photo pairs
- Deletes RAW data
- Converts RAW to HEIF or JPG
- Frees up storage space
- Simple interface
