atlneo Posted November 4, 2016 Share #1 Posted November 4, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi folks, This is my first post here. I just bought a M240 with a 35mm. I noticed that the color viewed from the LCD display on the back of M240 is different from the "true color" (on my calibrated display). I'm not sure if this is bad copy. Here I attached a picture shot with my iPhone. I know the white balance may be a little bit off. But you can see the LCD is very different from my display. It's kind of yellowish and less saturated. (I tried to mimic this effect in photoshop, but it's tricky. I couldn't duplicate this effect). Do you guys think if this is a bad LCD? Thanks Welcome, dear visitor!

jdlaing Posted November 4, 2016 Share #2 Posted November 4, 2016 No. It is not a bad LCD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted November 4, 2016 Share #3 Posted November 4, 2016 Don't expect a camera LCD screen to be calibrated. M240 LCDs come in two flavours: too cool and too warm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertknappmd Posted November 4, 2016 Share #4 Posted November 4, 2016 Also, LCD picture is a camera processed jPG... Accounts for difference... Albert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted November 4, 2016 Share #5 Posted November 4, 2016 Also, LCD picture is a camera processed jPG... Accounts for difference... Albert Almost correct. It is a simple sidecar jpeg file just for the purpose of showing a thumbnail. If you were to,shoot a raw plus jpeg with the camera settings the real jpeg file is different when downloaded and viewed.

earleygallery Posted November 4, 2016 Share #6 Posted November 4, 2016 You cannot calibrate the camera's LCD and given that it's only for review purposes why should you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlneo Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share #8 Posted November 4, 2016 Thank you guys! it's a great relief. By the way, in the single shot mode, it takes 1 to 2 seconds to be able to push down the release button. Is this normal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. the jpg and the raw look the same, but different from the on camera preview image. Although it's yellowish, I do find them more pleasing in many cases.

I found the advanced metering quite accurate. How much it would be different if I turn off the advanced metering? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlneo Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share #15 Posted November 5, 2016 There is only one way to find out. Do it. I turned off the advanced metering. It's really fast now. Got to see how the classic metering works in a real shooting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted November 5, 2016 Share #16 Posted November 5, 2016 I turned off the advanced metering. It's really fast now. Got to see how the classic metering works in a real shooting. You should understand why it's faster. Advanced metering is off the sensor, so the shutter needs to open and close for metering before the actual exposure, then open and close again to take the picture. Classic metering is off the shutter curtain, hence the shutter doesn't need to open before exposure. And I trust you understand that there are different metering pattern options, too. Your manual is your friend. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
