Re: Maxxum 7D

Welcome to the forum , nice to have someone new here !

.

First to answer your question ;

The only colour settings available are Natural: sRGB , Natural+: sRGB and Embed Adobe RGB .

The sRGB settings that you normally use . The difference between the Natural and Natural + is the "+" is slightly richer .

If your shooting JPEG theses can be further tweaked in the Digital FX setting in the menu .

Unlike the D5d there are no other JPEG options ( other than size) and any conversions or processing are to be done on the PC .

.

I still use my D7d from time to time as I like the output and the usability of the camera .

For web use and small prints the 6 megapixel is more than adequate still .

With al my cameras I only shoot RAW to get the best out of the sensor and process in Adobe Lightroom where the camera gives very nice results .

I have the camera set to RAW + Jpeg though as it's the only way to zoom in on an image to review it on the LCD . Shooting in RAW only doesn't allow this .

It takes a bit of space up on the memory card , but at 6 megapixel a JPEG doesn't use much space .

On importing to my PC only the RAW files are imported .
