Request advise on fine tuning the F2 mode

[Fire Kirin]

Dear all,

I must say that I am impressed with the colour saturation and the contrast of F2 mode .

However, when I saved in jpeg format, the details in the highlight and the shadow are lost .

Seeking your advise on how to twitch the setting so that these details are no lost.

Seeking your advise please.

Thanks!

Perhaps I have asked a very stupid question. I guess that's why it has been ignored.

Allow me to rephrase the question:

If I set the DR to 400% in standard mode, will it extend the F2 mode to 400% also?

I hope it is a more reasonable question....

Please read the manual, DR is 400% in the film simulation modes.

F2 is high contrast, it is expected that the darks are black and the lights are white. For a more balanced exposure with the wider dynamic range retained, you may want to try the F1 modes, and tweak a little on the saturation.

F2 DR IIRC is only 100% and u can't change that
if you read the reviews, they suspect that F2 mode is simple S curve tweak.
Actually IMO it's better to shoot at 400% normal, and then tweak it later to your own liking to retain the detail.

I think the F1 film modes are better.. allows more DR IIRC.
