Great, I did that right from the beginning ...Start with PP2.
(PP2 = standard setting for still images when not using Picture Profile)

Hi there K-H,
I'm puzzled now: in what way you think now that you didn't get it quite right ?
TIA
PS Still have to go out to try PP7 ...
Bart, It looks like you have not looked at the PP settings. All the parameters can be changed as you like them. It would be good to read the link K-H posted but a lot of experimentation is needed to arrive at what may like.Great, I did that right from the beginning ...

Hi Vivek,Bart, It looks like you have not looked at the PP settings. All the parameters can be changed as you like them. It would be good to read the link K-H posted but a lot of experimentation is needed to arrive at what may like.
I thought those profiles were for jpegs only and never pice them any attention. Do they also make a difference supposing you are shooting raws ?Hi Bart, The stunning example that K-H posted shows that any of these profiles (for stills) as a good starting point. His final image was dues to further processing.
BTW, in A7rII you have more than 7 profiles with endless possibilities.
K-H, No need for jpg. You can use your RAW with all the camera settings and convert it to tiff using Sony IDC (no need for C1 either). After that, you can use the images as such or further tweak them. I wish I could have provided some samples but I have to look for a less sharp lens (than the 35/2.5 Summarit M) to do that without severe color moire.
BTW, this (in camera profile settings which are more sophisticated than those of any other camera makers, AFAIK) is not unlike the use of a Nikon cam and NX2 to process the files.
Yes, indeed if you use IDC. Please, see my previous post.I thought those profiles were for jpegs only and never pice them any attention. Do they also make a difference supposing you are shooting raws ?

Hi K-H,A7r2 + WATE + PP0 = Creative Style: Standard
As expected, here the outside window area is brighter as compared to the images shot with PP7 if one keeps the room itself appear with similar brightness.
This paper may help to better understand the S-Log2 function, it has been written for the A7s but as far as I understand the only difference with the A7RM2 is the native base ISO (3200 vs 800).Thanks Bart, on my A7r2 PP0 is Off, PP2 is something else, no?
When using PP0 I can change Creative Style settings, in PP2 my A7r2 won't let me do that.
Also, did you compare the last two images in post #55 with those in post #70?
Each post has an image with lamps on and off.
The images in post #55 were shot with PP7.
The images in post #70 were shot with PP0.
An easy way to see the differences is to download the jpegs and compare with Preview or PS I find.
Many thanks Ario for the above link with the title: "Exposing and Using S-Log2 on the Sony A7s. Part One: Gamma and Exposure."This paper may help to better understand the S-Log2 function, it has been written for the A7s but as far as I understand the only difference with the A7RM2 is the native base ISO (3200 vs 800).

I hav'nt found any part twoMany thanks Ario for the above link with the title: "Exposing and Using S-Log2 on the Sony A7s. Part One: Gamma and Exposure."
Question: Did he ever publish Part Two? TIA.
:ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL:May be with the A7sII, part 2 will be coming?
Thanks Vivek. Interesting isn't it.K-H, Lovely shots. I find it intriguing that a zoom plus a clunker (D800E) and the A7rII plus 90 macro provide similar image quality.
