Everything I've read says not to (at least without some sort of filter). However I don't always do what others tell me not to do (just ask my wife).
Dusk last night I decided to see just what the Sony Nex-7 IR would do if I used the onboard flash. The good news is it works. The bad news is I'm hooked...
f/16 1/160 ISO 200 processed into black & white using NIK Silver Efex Pro 2
Original file, after running the false color action in CS6; f/16 1/160 ISO 200
Same file after processed into black & white with Nik Silver Efex Pro 2
f/16 1/160 ISO 200 processed into black & white using NIK Silver Efex Pro 2
My workflow now is to open the files in Sony Image Date Convertor, saving the files I want to work with to Tiff before opening them in CS6 where I'll run the false color action and Silver Efex if processing to black & white. Slightly longer workflow than with my IQ160 however I'm getting used to it.
Once again I have to thank Guy for selling his Nex7 and Life Pixel for the excellent service.
