My subject pics. come crisp, clear, with quiet acceptable noise
levels (Standard Deviation of Luminance around 2.2, ISO 80 JPG and
1.8, ISO 80 RAW).
In regards to RAW (.ORF), you will have a 11.5 secs lag (with rec
preview off), from pic-to-pic once your buffer is full. It seems
long, but the actual transfer speed is around 620 Kbytes/sec, which
is the
highest possible troughput that I know the E10's CF port
is capable of (much higher than .JPEG or .TIFF). Stochastically
speaking, if you are going to be shooting every 6-8 secs, in
average, you
may never find your buffer full. If you are going to
shoot at a higher rate, then, I told you so...
Last but not least: SHARPENING to LOW, and CONTRAST to NORMAL. You
may also consider a warmer white-balance setting for better skin
colors (please, experiment).

Okay.. well, someone told me to try setting my F to 8 so that was a
BIG mistake. Now i will try it at F6 or F7. When I meter my
lights though.. what would my "fill" be then??? The same as my
main? Sorry... i am getting super confused now
I will ALSO change my Sharpness to soft? or normal?
and contrast to normal.
In the RAW mode.... how many shots can you take before buffer is
full? that is the 1 prob. with the E10 and the work I do... i need
to be able to take A LOT more pics in a row then 4 or so...
Thanks SO mch
I'll try all of this
PS: how is the new baby?

Some quick comments:
1. Not sure if you really needed f8.0 for this shot. Try between
F6.0 and F7.0, where you should get even more detail (believe me).
2. NEVER, EVER set you sharpness to HIGH. I strongly recommend to
set to LOW (minimal sharpening artifacts) and less noise being
sharpened too. Then, in Photoshop, you can sharpen with "finesse",
the way your camera will never be able to do it.
3. Use NORMAL contrast. I was too strict about setting contrast to
LOW, but I am getting excellent results with Contrast set to
NORMAL, and sharpening to LOW.
4. For max quality, no TIFF, no 2.7 SHQ, etc. RAW (ORF) is probably
the only way to go. Even at higher ISO speeds it is a blessing.
More post-processing work, but it is worth it.
Kindest regards,
Ferenc

Jennie -- was this also shot with your camera sharpness set on
hard? My guess would be yes. I've never gotten skin texture like
that using either normal or soft sharpening.
