Well, many thanks to you for tipping us all off about some additional interesting applications of the HR & HHHR modes as well as your kind words. It’s all much appreciated!

Well, the quantum efficiency figures you mention refer only to that fraction of light that has passed the color filter array and the presence of the CFA is not mandated by the laws of physics. ...

On the E-M1.2 I just bought (new), the anti-shock shutter mode was not available in the Super Control Panel although the feature was turned on in the menu system. Just turning it off and then on ...

To me equivalence simply means that a lens design with focal length x shot at f-stop y on MFT has the same effect as the same design scaled upwards to focal length 2x and shot at f-stop 2y on FF ...

What’s the problem with that? Sure, there was lots of discussion that might not have been all that interesting to Marie but interesting to other people, including me. I learnt a few new things ...

1. See what I already said about access. 2. Few things are quite as simple as creating a histogram so even the most narrow-minded of chips should be able to do it even though (for reasons already ...

I tried early on. What’s wrong? Marie seemed pleased. ;-) https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/65293902

Well, for a mirrorless camera, pretty much everything you do when shooting depends on the raw data from the sensor: live-view, metering, AF, post-capture jpeg creation, and so on. It follows that ...

OK, I see what you mean, although the black-level drift we are talking about is of very little significance to the approximation formula I provided. Still, it's a good thing to be aware of this ...

I don’t imagine anything. I know it. The raw data are the very first stage of the pipeline you are talking about. Hence, they are by definition as easily accessible as they could be.

Sure. The raw data must be read and stored as part of the live-view feed since they are the basis for the converted data ultimately displayed. Hence, I can’t imagine it’d be much of a problem using ...

To my mind, both raw data and jpegs are representations of images. Neither can be viewed without processing and the main difference aside from the fact that jpegs are compressed is that they have ...

Something like that might well be the case, yes.

You are most likely right that the live-views histograms and highlight/shadow warnings are based on the live-view data and that these are not compressed. But what I think most people have in mind ...

The hidden premise behind your conclusion is that the MFT sensors currently used can be read, in their entirety and at full bit depth, at a rate faster than 1/60 s per frame. Otherwise, the ...

Not sure if and how this relates to the topic of this thread. But FWIW, here are some observations from black-frame shots with my own copy of the E-M1.2. 1. By "measured black level" I assume you ...

Beware of red herrings . Your repeated use of them just reveals your lack of valid arguments. What we are discussing is whether Olympus can do subject recognition and I proved your claim in that ...

Well, it’s cherry-picking season and for some reason you missed out on that big lovely cherry known as the E-M1X. Seems your subject recognition wasn’t up to the task of catching it.

No. I told you what I knew. But as you said, you don’t remember. I have a life and a pretty good one at that so don’t you worry about me. But your behavior makes me concerned, not about you but ...

Why would there be any surprise? Olympus/OMDS buys sensors as well as image processing engines (hardware-wise). Their camera engineering, their optical engineering, and their software engineering ...
