Advertisement Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Hi stump4545, Take a look here 246 camera settings. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
EoinC Posted February 18, 2016 Share #2 Posted February 18, 2016 I have all Off. I only use the RAW files. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle123 Posted February 18, 2016 Share #3 Posted February 18, 2016 Raw files for me too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akaki Posted February 18, 2016 Share #4 Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Also OFF. Only DNG. I try once just to see how it works. Edited February 18, 2016 by Akaki Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump4545 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted February 18, 2016 Thank you for fast replies. Anyone else move from the original MM? this type 246 feels heavy. anyone here prefer the original MM over the 246, or does the 246 just take time getting used to?

That means there is no cookbook recipe. BTW you are talking about JPG settings here. I would advise you to use DNG and postprocess the images to your liking. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jvansmit Posted February 19, 2016 Share #7 Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you for fast replies. Anyone else move from the original MM? this type 246 feels heavy. anyone here prefer the original MM over the 246, or does the 246 just take time getting used to? it took me a while to get used to the slight form-factor difference with the M246, and I even contemplated swapping back to the MM1. I've got used to it now, and prefer it to the MM1 It also took me a while to develop a workflow in LR6 compared to the MM1. I routinely underexpose by at least 2/3 of a stop, and the jpegs are nowhere close to my intended output.

Joakim Posted February 19, 2016 Share #9 Posted February 19, 2016 It is worth pointing out that the settings that the OP mentions can also be relevant for us shooting in raw only since they are applied to the thumbnail image that is displayed on the LCD. Increasing sharpness and contrast will result in a chrisper image to view but be warned that when you increase contrast you will push the the white tones in the jpeg which can lead to the histogram and clipping warnings inorrectly showing burned highlights even though the exposure is fine since they both are calculated from the jpeg data, and the same goes for the blacks of course.

250swb Posted February 19, 2016 Share #10 Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) All OFF!!!!!!!! Even if I used JPEG (which I don't) all the settings that interfere in the photograph would be set to OFF. It then allows me to interfere (by dealing with contrast, toning, sharpness, etc.) with calm reflection when I'm post-processing the image. I don't want to start post-processing with one arm behind my back because the tiny camera brain has screwed up things like contrast and sharpening when Photoshop can do it so much better.

Giulio Zanni Posted February 19, 2016 Share #11 Posted February 19, 2016 As others, I shoot raw, so settings do not matter much. There is so much that you can do with the MM files in post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciaren Posted March 7, 2016 Share #12 Posted March 7, 2016 Always shoot in RAW for myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Lowe Posted March 7, 2016 Share #13 Posted March 7, 2016 I shoot RAW+JPG but I leave the JPG settings at default. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akaki Posted April 5, 2016 Share #14 Posted April 5, 2016 I shoot DNG mostly and never touch settings, also when I work with JPG. once I did and I don't like it was to much artificial for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBHewee Posted April 6, 2016 Share #15 Posted April 6, 2016 I find using raw+jpg helps me at least have a good idea of what I shot when I'm travelling. I download pictures from my SD to my iPad and it doesn't deal with RAW files at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmlord Blakk Posted May 2, 2021 Share #16 Posted May 2, 2021 On my monochrom typ 246 - Off, but the contrast setting can only go to low, not off, so it’s set to low Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
