p.2 #2 · A7rIV viewfinder behavior and findings

Jpgs have lower DR so picture styles may not help even if you lower contrast.
Once highlights start to clip, it�s safe to add about 2 EV.
I think using Zebra is better than histogram.

Has anyone found a 'picture style' setting that best reflects the RAW file - especially for landscapes? The RGB histogram is reflecting the JPG (not RAW), and I've found that when exposing to the right, there is still a great deal of dynamic range being left on table as I'm about 1.5-2 stops from truly clipping the RAW file. Also noticed that in high contrast scenes, the EVF looks really weird (overly contrasty)...

I only shoot landscapes... and will continue to tweak these settings myself, but just curious if anyone else has been able to obtain 'good' settings for this?...Show more →

I cannot find any reference in the manual or my camera to something called Display Settings. This has me puzzled.

It's unclear to me if the settings referenced in that post will still apply to the a7R IV as it uses a new sensor that works differently.

Still applies. Very similar DR and highlights' latitude among Sony full frame sensors.

Any further confirmation that Display Quality affects the EVF on the R4?
When I tested it on the R3 it seemed to only affect the back panel.

Thank you Fred. I have subsequently found the setting and I had already set it to High.
