p.1 #2 · p.1 #2 · Fujifilm X-E1 sharpness and noise reduction setting | |
If you went out and shot, and found you wanted more in-camera sharpness and lower noise reduction... I'd say that's a good thing to go ahead and try. After all, there aren't universally right settings, or else the ability to play with the settings wouldn't be available.
My suggestion is to go out and shoot ~5 scenes representative of what you like to shoot. Try a couple mixes of in-camera noise and sharpness settings (both low, both high, one high and one low, the other high and the other low), and then come back and look at these images on screen. Then experiment with processing these different images... really experiment a bit.
Find what you like best. Set camera that way. Enjoy.
Or just go out and shoot with one group of settings. Review and process on the screen. Make changes to settings if you are not satisfied-- and iterate until you find a stable place to leave things.
Personally, I shoot RAW. But RAW or JPG, I tend to like in-camera sharpness and noise reduction turned down. I'd rather have the freedom to process the files how I see fit, as opposed to letting the camera decide how much detail to throw away or invent. But, since i shoot RAW, you might see a bias in my ability to determine these things AFTER the fact rather than giving control to the camera.
