Sigma introduced a SFD-mode (super fine detail) for it's dp and sd quattro series. Result is a set of 7 raw shots, occupying 350 MB on the memory card and taking ages to be stored an ddou le as long to get unpacked, adjusted and merged with (at the moment) disappointing results. You can decide for yourself how much wind is allowed in landscape shots.

 

The way Olympus creates higher resolution shots is a bit different, I thought - they save one RAW. The same could be done with HDR and focus stacks.

 

I don't think you will do a better job in post when your first transfer a 14 bit RAW to a 8 bit JPG to recreate a 16 bit tif or whatever. I'm a big fan of "staying on the RAW track as long as possible and only finally change coaches".

 

thxbb12 is right, there's not much reason to pretend as if RAW is something pure coming out of  a camera - Fuji and Olympus AFAIK already do lens corrections in RAW,

Hi JoJu,

 

I wasn't talking about High Resolution Mode, but about HDR-sets. Yes, HR-mode is an option, and it works well, but HDR-sets can be created as well, up to 7 shots 3 EV apart in exposure, in Raw and/or jpeg (3 shots, 5 shot, 7 shots, either 2 EV or 3 EV apart). The E-M1 II also allows you to generate a 4-shot single output HDR as well, either very high or super high contrast, and it does both Raw and jpeg.

 

I just realised the Pen F can do this too, so I better edit my reply higher up .

 

Olympus does not do lens corrections in Raw. They may store a lens profile in Raw, but lens corrections are only applied to jpegs, and when displayed via Olympus software. Check the reviews here on Photozone to see corrected and uncorrected distortion for Oly lenses.

 

Kind regards, Wim
