We know since earlier that the G1 does something wit the raw files depending on the noise reduction settings in the film mode. That was hard to see with the eye but was there. With the GH1 it was easy to see.Louis, I'm finding very nice performance at high ISOs as well with the GH2... it's a really impressive camera. I was trying some Film Modes for movies and found they were also influencing my RAWs (I only shoot in RAW). Apparently in P, A, and S priority, the Mode setting does have some influence on RAWs (coding telling the RAW converter to make some changes "under the hood"). My understanding (still quite limited) is that in M priority, the coding from a Film Mode doesn't get passed along to the RAW converter... anyway, I changed my Film Mode to Standard and have been shooting M and I'm very happy with the RAWs now. Still not a lot of use with the camera yet as I work with other cameras as well and I've been a bit distracted playing with legacy primes - AND rediscovering my GF1. (...)
Jonas... see Terry's post #252 above. You must have missed that part of this thread.We know since earlier that the G1 does something wit the raw files depending on the noise reduction settings in the film mode. That was hard to see with the eye but was there. With the GH1 it was easy to see.
The above was independent from the raw converter settings, it could be tried and confirmed by using a raw converter not reading the processing instructions from the raw file's EXIF values (plain dcraw for example). So, the raw files were different.
What you describe is a raw converter reading the EXIF values and trying to mimic the in-camera settings, no? That is not the same as the raw files is depending on the camera setting.
I haven't followed the GH2 discussions very close. Are there reports on the raw files really getting manipulated differently depending on th ecamera settings?

Hi Don,Just a quick snap... I had just received a new legacy lens (Canon FDn 50/1.4) and was running around the house snapping away. My bud, Harley, was snoozing at the top of the stairs, I was about 8' down the stairway from him looking up, and I asked him if he wanted to go for a ride... then he gave me this look, like, where to, dad?

Yes, I use the one on top of the body for setting the metering and at least one other for turning on and off the grid lines on the display. Can't remember what I did with the third.Mine arrived yesterday. I love it!
First question. How have you experienced users re-mapped your Function Keys?
The 'out of the box' suggestions are (IMHO) inappropriate for RAW users.
Especially that F1 that moves you into iA - does anyone use that?
