EX2F - Capable little Infrared tool - even HANDHELD!

One reviewer said that when you use Raw it turns into an entirely different camera.

If you look at Techradar's Noise and Dynamic range charts the difference between Raw and Jpeg is amazing. It is strange when this camera does not really seem to have been built for the purist enthusiast.

They should make it a law that noise suppression can be switched of in all cameras. I far prefer luminance noise to the dreadful orange peel I get in my 18mp Panasonic TZ40 and pretty much any silly mega pixel small sensor. Imagine what the Raw from these would look like which is why they do not have it when pixels soar.

Really just a test image. It certainly wasn't thought out at all

The key is finding some decent settings in Lightroom. For IR it isn't too difficult as the color noise that degrades EX2F jpeg's isn't an issue.

I wish the Samsung engineers had spent more time on the camera demosaicing & noise reduction. It's not very good at all. The normal color jpeg's could be so much better if they left a little more luminance noise and did a better job with the false color.

That's why mine is always in Raw+ mode.

Disabled or at least controlled. The EX2F is indeed a different camera in RAW. I wish Samsung had paid Olympus or Pentax to do the Jpeg engine. The Samsung engine is rather bad and unfortunately that becomes the perception of the camera for most.
