I've picked one up, just wanted something new, I travel a lot and fancied a change. I will be using it in Jpeg for street photography to fill the time evenings. Any tips?

Yep, same here, obviously there is the www to gain info, but struggling to find a simple explanation of the difference between usm and the sharpening tool in Silkypix, and why some tutorials say NOT to use the Silky tool, and leave it to usm

It suits me :) I dont have a calibrated monitor nor the time or inclination to explore these things, but I want good prints for the family. It does it's job, I think :)

GF2, shoot raw and use Silkypix, very little pp, mostly the presets etc. Should I use the sharpening programme in Silkypix, or unsharp mask during development? What is the difference between the two? I'm just a happy snapper trying to put good quality pics in the family album, print size a4 max

And in my case, I don't take a lot of pics, and I'm not someone who has the time and inclination for LR3. I travel with an iPad, will shoot a few for fun and want to play on iPad.

Thanks, nothing else come out in the last year?

Does anyone want to update this thread? I'm picking up an iPad and to edit raw files on the move, whats come out in the year since this thread started?

Auto with a max set in settings, usually 400

Lovely broken though in some of these shots, I'd rather have that and accept the ca at 100% crop. I'm still a bit confused whether you can visibly see this on prints, of whether these issues are just on screen at high crop.

iDynamic Instructions state it will not kick in in certain conditions, which is frustrating, I can't fathom what those conditions are. The Olympus equivalent remains on in all situations

Yeah, but there's no focus indicator on the screen, I suppose there's dof for it not to matter.

Thought so :( Seems strange not to at least mark the focus ring or at least have an infinity option in quick menu

Am I being really thick, which is likely, but I can't fathom a quick way to stick the GF2 into infinity focus for street snaps, all I can do is flick it to F22 which is ok, but hardly a 'quick menu ' option. Am I missing something?

Yeah you can, I think there's custom monochrome but then also the facility create your own, pizza style, in custom settings, I think they both just produce grayscale images, dunno. Just wondering if anyone had played with these and come up with anything that replicated the dynamic mode. I...

Quick question, new member, picked up a GF2 as a travel cam. I made the mistake of assuming this camera would have a dynamic b&w mode, has anyone played with the custom settings to replicate it? I shoot it jpeg only and rarely do any pp, just try and set up camera to avoid anything other than a...
