DNG + JPG with less contrast

[cirke]

Advertisement (gone after registration)

I shoot always dng + jpg (b&w) 
I use the jpg as a preview but they have too much contrast and sharpness for my taste

do you know if it is possible to fix it ? I have tried  in the settings  contrast and sharpness low , but I can't see a real difference
 

Of course I know how to process them in Lightroom to get less contrast but I'd like to get what I want directly
I use a WIFI SD and transfer the JPG on my iPad pro, I can show them at once

thanks

The in-camera settings for contrast, and sharpness are subtle. Remember with Leica "less is more".  You might see more effect on the computer...but you've mentioned you can use LR.  I'd be surprised if what you see on the LCD is the same as the LR monitor screen.

Sometimes these subtleties can be too much for me...I can only suggest you keep experimenting.

 

I hope my vagaries, have helped somehow...

it is not for Lightroom or computer I have the dng for that
it is just to show the photos at once on iPad pro without post-processing

I was just wondering with low contrast in M240 settings give the same results than normal contrast

There's no straightforward answer because the jpgs show truncated histogram indicating less dynamic range. I can replicate a normal jpg in ACR by adding 25 contrast, -15 black, +15 white, and reducing saturation slightly.

Thanks for that one Edward.
