Hello Everyone!
I am new to GetDPI and was curious if there are still many members using the older DP2 series compacts?
I was considering the DP2 Merrill after reading through Quentin_Bargate's thread, but have decided to start out with the DP2x to see if I like the workflow of both the camera and PP software.
I noticed a number of great tips in the DP2M thread including the following:
- over expose .3 to .7 for the shadows at time of shot
- reduce exposure in PP and add fill light
- set neutral colour mode in camera
- use Sunlight for outdoor shooting
- set sharpening at -2 in SPP
Would all these tips above also apply to the older DP2 series? If not, can anyone suggest some useful tips for someone just starting out with this compact camera?
Thank you.
PS - I have downloaded sample RAW files and have made myself somewhat familiar with the SPP software.
I should be receiving my "new to me" camera in the next week or so.
