Spending £8300 on an M11 Monochrom camera to produce "sooc JPEG files" 🤯  is not everyone's 'cuppa T' ....In fact in my book it's 'plain bonkers'  – I'm tempted to write something 'stronger' but doing so might risk a forum ban. Much of the enjoyment of digital photography is in coaxing the best images from DNG files for subsequent further processing – which can take time and effort and imagination. And optimising the exposure before pressing the shutter is another prerequisite for obtaining usable image files. Live view histograms (and when possible, adjustments thereto) can be a very good guide to correct exposure.

BW, dunk 

Yeah ! and you have to do the main adjustment once and the you can apply the preset to all your images. The idea of the M11M was to widen the range! That’s why you need to adjust the raw files. I would ask somebody that knows a little photoshop or some other program to give you some lessons , maybe with a cup of tea? And you will be amazed of your own images. This camera is endless!
