I haven’t been using my Ricoh GR III much so I got it out to practice on.  I haven’t been using it due to the fact that I keep accidentally shifting the exposure since my thumb tends to turn the exposure adjustment when I hold the camera in my hand.  In addition it doesn’t have a viewfinder so it is hard to see the composition and settings in bright sunshine on the LCD. 

I have been using the camera in “P” mode, carrying it in a pocket, and pulling it out and making quick images.  I think that is my problem.  I use it like I was on the street making quick photos and not taking the time to check the aperture, shutter speed, and exposure setting.  This morning I used it on a cloudy day when I could see the LCD easier.  If I do that and take the time to check the settings, including the exposure adjustment, it works fine for me.
