Mind sharing your preferred jpeg tweaks for the G80? I picked up one recently as well but haven't really used it yet. I plan to mostly use it for video of the grandchildren, but I'd love to have good jpeg output as well.

Sure. I use jpeg fine, standard or portait color mode.

In standard mode, contrast is set to -1, saturation to -3, noise reduction to -5. All other effects turned off. Same for the portrait mode, except contrast is set to 0. Also, exposure compensation is set to -1/3 or -2/3EV.

I noticed that in standard mode under natural light (mostly in the shade), people tend to have magenta lips, which doesn't happen in portait mode. Portait mode is slightly warmer which suits those subject better. Note that contrast is reduced in portrait mode and the picture is slightly brighter.

Thanks.
