starshipstu Posted April 11, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 11, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) What are recommended settings for i.exposure and i.resolution on the Leica D-lux 5 for jpg shooting? I have been really happy with the output but just wondering if I should be using those settings, and if so, at what level. Thanks, Stuart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted April 11, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 11, 2011 Stuart, Welcome to the forum! I shoot RAW so I can't use I.Exposure but it appears to be the camera's version of High Dynamic Range where, for shots with bright highlights and dark shadows the ISO is increased in the shadow areas only to provide detail. I prefer to make these decisions myself in Photoshop where subtle blending is easily done. If I used it then I'd probably set it to Low so that I'd retain some control because after you've used it you can't 'un-use' it. Similarly I don't use I.Resolution because it's a form of in-camera sharpening and I'd rather have the control to sharpen as I need during post-processing. If I was to use it at all I'd likely use it sparingly. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macjim Posted April 13, 2011 Share #3 Posted April 13, 2011 Better shooting in RAW mode and make your adjustments in Lightroom 3. In full auto the D-Lux 5 takes very nice photographs but RAW gives you more control. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
starshipstu Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks. Appreciate the comments. Not trying to get into a RAW vs. jpg discussion Assuming that I know the difference between RAW and jpg, and that I want to operate the Leica D-lux 5 in jpg mode, just wanted to know the best settings to use for i.exposure and i.resolution.

macjim Posted April 13, 2011 Share #5 Posted April 13, 2011 Well, if you shoot with the camera set on automatic it will set that for you leaving you to get on with taking pictures. There's no best to choose as it will depend on the conditions and available light at the point when you are about to shoot. You can set the camera to i resolution etc. I can't think of anything else that may help you, anyone else able to answer ? Best regards Cheers, Macjim.

farnz Posted April 13, 2011 Share #6 Posted April 13, 2011 Macjim, In the menu I.Exposure can be set to low or high, and I.Resolution can be set to low, standard or high. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macjim Posted April 13, 2011 Share #7 Posted April 13, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ok. I tried to change that setting and couldn't change it - sometimes it's best to let the camera do its thing and enjoy your photography. Thanks for the info Cheers, Macjim.
