Bumping this back to the top to see if we can get any GX7 JPEG shooters to offer their settings. I have the GM1 and am interested in preferred JPEG user settings for that camera, but their are probably not enough of them out their yet.

PLEASE no more recommendations to just shoot raw. I know how to shoot and proces raw files, I am interested in peoples preferred JPEG settings

I would like to apply a profile for sharpening and NR in LR when I import, and not have to bother with more image processing. I shoot in a lot of high contrast conditions and would like to take advantage of the GM1 iDynamic or HDR options but would prefer to do the sharpening and NR in LR. Should I just turn in camera sharpening and NR all the way down to -5. I would basically like to turn these off in camera while letting the camera do other picture processing (color balance, dynamic range adjustments, etc.)

Any suggestions.

I have the GX7.  I'm one of those photogs who happens to like more full color, saturated photos.  I know many of you do not, but that is just my preference.

Settings I use much of the time (not always):  Vivid, Contrast +1, Sharpening 0 (sometimes +1), Saturation +1 (sometimes 0), NR -2.  I want my photos to pop more, so that is why I use these settings.  In good light I also use ISO 200.  As for P, A, S, I will use any of these settings depending on what I am trying to do.  In other words, although I like to shoot in Aperture mode, I do not do that all the time.  Usually iDynamic and iResolution are Standard.
