Hello everyone. My name is Ziao Ning.
I am currently a Ricoh Imaging (Shanghai) employee, responsible for product education and marketing. If you have recently participated in a GR event in China, you may have met me at the venue.
I joined Ricoh Imaging three years ago (October 24, 2016). I am a heavy user of GR DIGITAL myself. For a long time, I have always carried my GR like a partner and, for me, it is like a necessity for my daily life. That is why I feel a strong sense of responsibility and mission for my current job.
In 2006, when I traveled to Tibet, I saw a wonderful landscape that I couldn't leave without commemorating. So I took some pictures with the GR DIGITAL. At that time, since I wasn't used to RAW development, I shot them all in JPEG. The photos from this angle are taken by many so you can easily see the difference. The GR DIGITAL was not well known in China at the time, but everyone was amazed at how wonderful it was to be able to take such a great image.
Back then, I often surprised others with the GR DIGITAL in this way. According to a Chinese proverb, I was “pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.”

As part of my work, I receive various information and comments fromt the users through the web. In addition to product feedbacks, they have discussions about the company's performance and, one time, they even analyzed the Ricoh Group's financial statement. The GR fans seem to be more interested in the company and knowledgeable about the company’s status than its employees, which is rare to see in other companies. With the GR fans being passionate, I am determined to do my best to make the work truly impressive.
“Passionate Chinese GR fans. Photos from Weibo.”
“Don’t just buy it because a new GR has been released. Use the GR you already have. Use it like a tool until some of its outer parts have been rubbed off. That is our wish." That was the message we sent to GR fans through the web after the announcement of the new GR III last year.
More and more new cameras are released, but for the GR, the most important thing is to use it like a tool. Keep track of your daily life with your GR every day, and those photos will become valuable as the time goes by. The GR is like your important friend that you can trust and always be with.
The small camera GR is an essential part of my life journey. Anyone can become a photographic creator with it because you can easily take it out and enjoy taking pictures.
Go out with your GR now!
I look forward to seeing you at GR events.

大家好！我叫赵宁。
目前是理光映像（上海）有限公司的一名员工，负责产品的培训讲解和市场推广。
如果您参加过理光映像最近几年在国内各大城市举办的体验活动，我想我们一定见过。
3年前（2016年10月24日），我有幸加入了理光映像。
由于我本身就是 GR Digital 第一代的用户，多年来的如影随形，GR 已经成为了我生活的必需品。也正是这样，我对这份工作多了一份仪式感和使命感。
2006年，我带着 GR Digital 去了西藏，拍了这张几乎每个游客都会拍摄的照片。（那时也还没有拍摄DNG格式后期调整的习惯，全部都是直接生成JPG格式）
正是因为大家都会拍摄这个角度，有了比较。毫不起眼的 GR Digital 所拍摄的效果让同伴们为之惊叹！
然而，这确实是那时用 GR Digital 经常干的事情，扮猪吃老虎（中国俗语）。
由于工作的关系，通常会第一时间在网络上收到来自用户方方面面的评价，有关于产品的评价，也有关乎公司发展兴衰的讨论，甚至集团的财务报表也会被用户拿来分析探讨。这种用户比公司员工更加关心甚至了解公司状况的现象也是在普通的公司所感受不到的。但也正是大家这样的热情，才真的会被感染到，也能迫使把自己的工作做的更好。
“不要仅仅因为它是新的 GR 相机而去购买和拥有它，我们更愿意鼓励您去使用您已经拥有的那个 GR ，直到它充满岁月的印痕！”
这是去年 GR III 开发公告发布后我们在网上和用户分享的一段话。
电子产品的更新发展日新月异。对于GR来说，我觉得更重要的是陪伴（使用），你每天使用它，它为你记录人生，随着时间的推移，这些照片会更加弥足珍贵！而 GR 就是你的老朋友，忠实、可靠，随叫随到！
GR 就是这样一台小小的相机，它陪着我一同行走在岁月的旅途中。
也正是随身携带着这样一台小小的相机，所以无论是谁，都能够成为创作者并且轻松愉快的享受摄影带来的乐趣。
带上GR，一路前行。
期待，能在 GR 分享活动上遇见你！
