arthury Posted March 4, 2014 Share #1 Posted March 4, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) All, Why is that I cannot see the Adobe or ACR4.4 under the Camera Calibration? Also, there are no lens profile available. Are these not available when shooting in JPG? And, yes, I have finally succumbed to the M240. -- Arthur Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Jones Posted March 4, 2014 Share #2 Posted March 4, 2014 From a discussion in another thread it seems that the exif does not contain the lens information when shooting jpeg. To answer your other question, if you are referring to the camera calibration option Profile, my M240 in Lightroom only shows embedded as an option for raw files. Hope you are enjoying the M240.

arthury Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the help. You're right. Initial thoughts The camera was set to use JPG by default when I pulled it out of the box. Shutter noise seemed to have quietened by a significant amount compared to the M9. The EVF-2 is such a welcomed help for focusing the Noctilux. Well worth the $180. So far, based on the first 2 hours of using it, I am impressed.

tobey bilek Posted March 4, 2014 Share #4 Posted March 4, 2014 profile the camera with Adobe Labs Profile editor. Then set preferences in ACR and LR to recognize camera by serial number and when you open the file, the profile is automatically applied. That get the color. Just photograph some appropriate subjects with your favorite lenses and record the settings or file them with Adobe for all to use. There is no real advantage to shooting JPEG except smaller files in the computer. The only thing lost if you open in ACR is color temp. That you may want. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted March 4, 2014 Share #6 Posted March 4, 2014 Or just buy a ColorChecker Passport and use the included software to bring the profile into LR. Jeff 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthury Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted March 4, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Exposure with EVF-2 on seems flakey; i.e. underexpose. Had to shoot a couple of additional shots before the exposure is right. Is this also your experience with the VF-2? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted March 4, 2014 Share #8 Posted March 4, 2014 Exposure has little or nothing to do with the presence of the EVF2. Set the exposure mode to classic to have the camera behave like your M9/M8, proceed to advanced to get the benefit of spot and matrix-like metering. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthury Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) I'll try without the VF-2 and let you know what the behavior is like. So far, with the VF-2, I am getting about 60% correct exposures and 40% underexposure (like a 3-stop). Edited March 4, 2014 by arthury Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted March 4, 2014 Share #10 Posted March 4, 2014 if you are using a wideangle with the EVF the reason is in the wideangle. In contrasty situations you need to judge your exposure very nicely. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthury Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share #11 Posted March 4, 2014 if you are using a wideangle with the EVF the reason is in the wideangle. In contrasty situations you need to judge your exposure very nicely. No, I was using the Noctilux. Changing to center-weighted, the underexposures are reduced to more like 20-30% but still giving me unusable underexposed images in, apparently, unpredictable occurrences. Never had this before in the M9. Pulling out the VF-2, gave me the usual 100% correct usual exposures. I cannot put my finger on this issue and I am not trying to raise any alarms here. Also, all my lenses are bare --- no filters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthury Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share #12 Posted March 4, 2014 One thing I noticed is this: after the focus peak occurred and I give it some time to 're-stabilize' the exposure by pressing the shutter release half-way and hold for a couple of seconds, I'd get the usual 100% good exposure. But, if I am in a hurry to grab the shot and immediately expose the shot right after focus peak occurs, there's a 20-30% chance of getting a badly underexposed image. I think I am getting closer to the issue. It may be related to focus peaking and the firmware switching back to full-frame to acquire exposure before shutter-release.

arthury Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted March 4, 2014 I cannot cause it to reproduce this problem without the VF-2 or LiveView. But, with LiveView or VF-2, it is still occurring. And, when it occurs, the exposure is always completed with shutter speed = 1/45sec. Does the 1/45sec shutter speed ring any bells for anyone?
