Auto Lighting Optimizer or Highlight Priority used? That would easily explain the (big) difference between the JPG and the RAW.

Auto Iso in Manual is fantastic! Well, on a Canon or Nikon... Use it all the time, perfect for sportphotography, events and concerts. But no need for it on the sdQ, I use only iso100. I guess, he ...

Actually I saw the same with the Kalpanika files. It looks that natively it has a lot of noise! Had to shortly dive into Aperture recently, boy do I miss it. But there are too many glitches now. Ye ...

When you first open a Sigma DNG in LR you see a preview with enormous amounts of noise. After the first rendering stage that disappears. (you see it really only briefly) So there is something ...

No not straight out of camera. But after conversion through DNG converter or Lightroom it does.

Thanks Tom, that is a good idea! File size is about half after running them Adobe's DNG conversion. Great side effect is that I can now develop it in more app, like Apple photos. Looked a bit into ...

Was thinking along the same lines but not even SPP can read them. Would be great if it could be some sort of a hybrid.

unfortunately they don't open in DxO :(

Thanks, yep the DNG does seem to leave a bit less headroom on the highlights I learned.

Nope, doesn't work in DxO optics pro. Neither in Apple's Raw developing engine.

Oh yes with Merrill WB is key.

For non critical work at least. Love it that it speeds up the workflow immensely. The files are very easy to develop in Lightroom. And pretty fast considering their enormous size. Unfortunately it ...

Although the lens itself will be quality wise very appropriate I would personally like it a little wider. On my FF body I like to use at least 24mm for the wide angle in concerts, preferably even ...

Although version 5 is indeed out for several years already it is actually updated almost every one or two months with bug fixes and new camera support. Yes they do indeed, i think it runs without ...

Photo Mechanic. Very fast and (very) expensive. But i do already use it in the rest of my workflow for shooting events and sports. So it's a no-brainer for me :)

Get an extra battery (see other answers for alternatives). Although it is considerably better than the DPM in regard to battery life, it still is nothing to write home about. I'm getting around ...

Thanks Simon
