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

I am  JPG shooter. Because I am colorblind, I do not have a lot of success working with RAW files.

I just did some testing with my 3-week old GX7. My first pics were taken with standard out-of-the-box settings. My initial reaction was not good when comparing ISO 800 pics to my Canon 30D. In low light, hair looked like a watercolor painting.

So, I did a little research and set the camera with Sat +1, Sharp +1, Contrast +1 and NR -3. I took a few more pics at ISO 800. I was still seeing a little too much noise reduction. So, I set NR to -5, and I am much happier. Compared to my 30D, the noise is finer and less blotchy. My wife also says that the colors are much more true on the GX7.

I have not had time to do much more than this, but I initially thought there was no way I could go to anything higher than ISO 800. Now, I look forward to seeing how the higher ISOs are handled.
