Re: OK - so where to begin.

Hi Ben: Thank you, very useful. I will have a play with the in camera image settings. In terms of exposure I'm finding that I need to dial in about +1/3 of a stop.

In Lightroom 6 I use the Highlight and Shadow sliders a lot and usually adjust Black level for these are all very useful in my Olympus images. EX2f images don't respond to Black level adjustments so well. Agree on Sharpening, it is easy to overdo it. I've been setting Sharpening at 40, radius 1.5, and Detail about 70ish. At ISO 80 I've been setting Luminance around 40 +/-. I must look at the Colour Noise although I haven't noticed too much. I have noticed the need to Defringe quite a lot. I find that more Clarity is useful.

I find it odd that the image adjustments in camera actually do things to the Raw file, never come across this before - Raw files are supposed to be raw!

A weird thing happens with digital zoom which I played with. It appeared to work when I imported the image into Lightroom, but then the image suddenly reverts to the optical zoom size. I.E, digital zoom doesn't work properly in Raw. I will investigate further for I've never had Lightroom change the metadata like this before.

It's a fun little camera and it is a great pity that Samsung quit. Anyway, you have given food for thought and I will continue working away at getting things the way I want.

Thanks.

Donald
