Tech question ISO and in camera...

[TwilightImaging]

Most of the outdoor pro's shoot with a plus 5 sharp and a plus 1 saturation. If I am shooting at 3200 ISO or higher *with High ISO noise reduction on" should I bring the sharpness to zero in camera? Theoretically it makes sense?
Any ideas??

Thanks again!

Do you shoot RAW?

I thought I remembered you saying that you did. If you shoot RAW any in camera settings shouldn't matter. For example if you shoot "black and white" while in RAW when you bring that picture into ACR it'll be color. RAW means that the camera does NO adjustments to your images.

Thanks Phy...when I shoot these indoor rodeos, since I shoot SO MANY images for the riders I go with jpeg's as my 8 H Drives are getting full fast.
The last shoot everyone really liked, but I wasn't happy at all. I guess the last person who shot sold images that were blurry and pixelated with noise galore. Too many saddles to post process. I'd rather download and do little or no processing...this way I post them online a few hours after the event.

Maybe blowing them to 200% and getting picky isn't worth it

thanks again Phy...I am going to shoot Raw the next event and have some control on the ol' trigger finger Three lights in an indoor ring just doesn't cut it...worse than Hockey...and I refuse to pay 8,000.00 for a lens...Mikey would get another vroomvroom first

I don't know Mike, but I think that this will make for an interesting test!!

First to see if the High Noise Reduction can get ride of noise and not let the camera sharpen it. Maybe in camera processing will do the NR first, then sharpen, and saturate last. That would make sense for the camera to do it in that order.

Not entirely correct. RAW means that all data from the sensor is saved. However, all the camera setting data (and other meta data) is saved in the raw file as well. The camera setting information is applied to the image for the initial viewing, but since the RAW data is available, you can post process the image in any way you see fit

Thanks everyone, I'll have to post what works best prior to processing...
thanks again ever'body!
