Re: Canon G7X macro really bad - I don`t think so... Samples at 100mm (5)

Here are some sample shots, taken in manual mode using a tripod, manual focus (set on the car windshield / rear wheel), apertures vary from f/2.8 to f/11.

Note that the ruler shows units in centimeters, where the unit numbers don`t show anything particular, except that they may help in observing the depth of field. For those interested, the focus point was actually ~36.5 cm from the lens front element, as close as manual focus allowed at 100mm equivalent focal length.

p.s.I didn`t have anything more interesting at the moment, but I hope this will serve the purpose as well

p.p.s. I keep forgetting to switch image stabilization OFF when using a tripod, not sure if it had any influence on the image sharpness here... :/

First, (slightly) RAW processed JPEGs:

#1, RAW, 100mm (equiv.) @ f/2.8

#2, RAW, 100mm (equiv.) @ f/4

#3, RAW, 100mm (equiv.) @ f/5.6

#4, RAW, 100mm (equiv.) @ f/8

#5, RAW, 100mm (equiv.) @ f/11

And for those interested, here are the same pictures, but straight out of camera JPEGs.

#6, JPEG, 100mm (equiv.) @ f/2.8

#7, JPEG, 100mm (equiv.) @ f/4

#8, JPEG, 100mm (equiv.) @ f/5.6

#9, JPEG, 100mm (equiv.) @ f/8

#10, JPEG, 100mm (equiv.) @ f/11

In the end, here`s an example of what I would consider a "web edit"

#11, RAW, 100mm (equiv.) @ f/4, cropped and resized
