Re: GX7- What settings are you using for contrast, Sharpness, Saturation etc.

I shoot manual 100% of the time. Point the camera's spot meter at your highlights and bump up the exposure to +1.75 or +2. This will make your highlights just about purely saturated, but not quite.

I usually use "Vivid". The jpeg sliders vary due to the nature of the scene and lighting. Saturation +1 or +2, Contrast -1 or -2 (to offset the saturation boost, or vice versa), NR -5 always, and sharpen varies depending on lens and/or subject.

The best thing to do is test your settings with whatever subjects you usually shoot. See what you like.

edit: oops forgot to say that I use Vivid.
