This is an excellent video. I’m glad that some professional photographers are now extolling the virtues of shooting JPEGs. I shoot JPEG and my fellow hobbyists used to consider me as some sort of pariah! I use Fujifilm cameras and lenses and those lenses and camera sensors give extraordinary JPEG results. I can print straight from the camera and get well- balanced results. People who look at my work never ask me about whether I shoot in RAW or JPEG. It would be like someone asking Picasso what type of brushes he used in his paintings. Thank you for posting your video.

@@mattisulanto Great point!

If you get paid for your work, you don't have the time to grade hundreds of photos perfectly in Lightroom. Nobody would pay you for that really. Except someone is really ready to pay you for that of course... So the idea that professionals "do always shoot RAW and rework anything in Lightroom through the night" is a bit of an urban legend. There are a lot of professional photographers who capture RAW and JPEG in parallel (that's often a setting in the camera). There are the following reasons: - They use the JPEG to compare their Lightroom work with RAW to have some sort of reference. If you work hours on a picture, it's sometimes good to have that "reference of reality". - If the JPEG is good enough and already what they expect, they use the JPEG. It doesn't make sense to spend hours into RAW if the JPEG out of camera is just fine enough. - Some cameras, which have 2 memory slots, are able to shoot RAW on one slot and JPEG on the 2nd slot. So you have then the RAW and JPEG's separated. Often the photographer goes through the JPEG's and pick the RAW's where the JPEG's need some work. And you have a backup of course. Be aware that not all cameras have the same JPEG engine. - It seems as a lot of professionals like the Canon engine, as the colors are very accurate out of the camera. - Some like the Nikon engine as it tries to re-use the sensor noise like film granularity. - Sonys produce a bit more snappy and sharpened pictures than others (BTW they even have processed and lossy compressed RAW files...). - There is an obvious faithful fan base around the film simulations in the Fujis. You're even able to shoot 3 simulations at once with a special "Bracketing" setting, so you can choose which JPEG you like the most. So if you shoot JPEGs, the first recommendation is: If you like to shoot JPEG, you should have a look on what JPEGs the camera produces and you should like what you see. Every brand is a bit different in that area and has a different philosophy. That's a bit like buying a set of expensive speakers: You should listen to them before you buy them.

Yes. I always shoot RAW+JPG at least having RAW as a reference point. However it is not so difficult to have some presets for raw processing which need only slight tweaking (mostly). I routinely use color profiling with color checker or similar targets and it is like 90 % of work already done. Of course it depends - those 90 % applies in documentary or product photography where color rendition is a priority.

Another gold lesson. Thank you again.

Thanks and good to hear you like the settings. I can't promise a review of the GX85, but I'll see if I can get it on loan and maybe do a review.

Thank you -- I shoot raw+JPG all of the time on my G85, with the Standard (unmodified) picture profile -- and I must admit that I almost always use the JPG files with some tweaks in Cyberlink PhotoDirector (LightRoom equivalent) as it is just faster! And these are usually to share with family -- "snapshots." And the quality is fine. If I really need to tweak something and get it ready for printing 8x10 or larger -- then I edit the raw file in PhotoDirector -- and yes, I can really deal with the shadows and highlights a lot better, and the overall sharpness/color transitions hold up a lot better than editing the JPG files. So I have the luxury of doing both -- until I run out of hard drive space to save both types of files!!!! But I should mess around a little more with the in-camera settings that affect the JPG profile/output -- as I always tend to do the same types of edits in PhotoDirector to the JPG files -- so why not do it when shooting instead of spending all of the time in post??? Thanks again!

Thanks for your comment. I have considered covering the 4k/6k feature, but because of my shooting style, I really don't find that much use for the 4k/6k photo. I may still make a video of it in the future.

I always reduce Sharpening and Contrast. This avoids halos around the edges, and doesn't constrict the dynamic range.

With jpeg the i.Dynamic plays with the contrast and highlight/shadow whereas the i.Resolution plays with the sharpening. Marlene Hielema explains this fer better than I can. These and the Photo-Style adjustments are all gain parameters and do have a knock-on into the Extended-Raw. If they have turned the gain up and caused blow-out in jpeg, the raw can be blown-out too. Lumix use an "Extended-RAW", the camera settings are encoded into it therefore the converter should display and default to what the camera intended, and then let you play with it (shoot raw+jpeg). The usual suspect raw converter doesn't understand the Extended-Raw.

@@mattisulanto Yes and erm, no, kinda. LR can implement Photostyles, but neither it nor PS can interpret the extended-raw and hence cannot automatically apply e.g. lens corrections that it can do for Canikon. Also applies to NR etc etc etc. The image processor in the camera (Venus Engine) is pretty powerful and attuned to the system, it makes a pretty good stab at it - tailor-made or off the peg? Six of one, half a dozen of the other with the curate's egg thrown in for good measure. One size does not fit all. Lumix, Olympus and Fujifilm all suffer from this lack of interpretation of their extended-raw files and it can make conversion a bit of a trial. Silkypix offers freebie Panasonic and Fujifilm editions that do convert properly. The Pro edition can handle practically everything including Olympus, but we have OM Workspace for that. I do like the PS/LR editing interface but cannot bring myself to use Camera-RAW now, it's too much of an effort fixing everything manually. I want to take photos not develop my computer graphics skills. I've no idea how many photos you take but I can rock off thousands of them.

As a person still starting out in photography, I have disciplined myself to only shoot in JPEG as I feel shooting in RAW will make me a lazy photographer, not paying attention to nailing the exposure, framing, white balance or editing parameters in camera with a "I can always fix it in post" mentality, not good for a beginner like me. Maybe in the near future I can slowly transition to RAW+ JPEG if I have the time or inclination to post process or print my images, but for now I just wanna take images that are ready to use straight outta the camera. Also with my Canon 70D and its slow 7fps by today's standards, I can shoot fast moving subjects in JPEG for 10 straight seconds before the buffer fills, compared to 2.9 seconds when shooting RAW.

I'm another one that shoots both Raw + JPG. I find that for just posting to Facebook and Instagram that jpgs are all I need. Another plus is that some of the free editors for the iPAD do a great job editing jpgs and are faster than trying to do it with full blown lightroom on a RAW file. For me, I like my pictures punchy so I use the VIVID profile. Finally, I have a G9 and have Raw go to one card and JPGs to the other. Occasionally I run out of space for my RAW files, but I'm still off and shooting jpgs.

Thanks for the tips . I’m an amateur. I shoot always and only in JPEG for two reasons. I’m not iterested in overediting, a little crop, a little adjustment in brightness and contrast, of needed.

Can you get log JPEGs on Lumix cameras? A while ago I read that at least one Sony body lets you shoot log JPEGs. This is a nice compromise between the latitude of RAW and the simplicity of JPEG (i.e. you don't need a RAW converter and the files are smaller).

I use raw on my A7 III and jpegs on the A6000. To me this is a good compromise. I have downloaded several apps on the A6000 which do not work in raw and being lazy I sometimes think jpegs straight out of the camera are good enough. And I do not fall for the temptation to overprocess my pictures.

Thanks for sharing your point of view, Sulanto! I am not against RAW in some very specific situations, but I (me!) only shoot in JPEG. For these reasons, as follows: 1. Part of the price I paid for my camera relates to its internal software and what it can do for me. Oh my God! In practice, on the run, on the field, on the wild it makes a huge difference; 2. I never needed RAW to deliver my photos as I wanted and/or needed (including fine art large format prints). Not yet!; 3. I save a lot of processing resources on click, plus some battery, memory card and hard drive; 4. I should not benefit from 20, maybe 30% of the possibilities that RAW would theoretically provide me in post production, and yes, partly due to the skills beyond my photographer assignments; 5. I simply would not have time to process each of my images (part intended for printing, part intended for stock) into RAW to justify the disadvantages of having them. Exacerbated increase in costs!; 6. I don't believe (not at all!) that RAW shooting defines your photography knowledge or market position. I say this from my own experience. I have been shooting a lot in RAW, but have concluded that I do not need it for very, very similar results. So I am still looking for a justification for abandoning JPEG. Maybe someone can point me one or two! :)

Hi Matti, thanks for this useful video. I usually shoot JPEG on my Canon 6D. It's full frame with 20MP. Please can you advise whether it is worth switching to RAW if you expect to crop the image, such as for wildlife photography when the subject is often slightly too small in the frame? Or is a fine quality JPEG just as good in terms of image detail for cropping?

No, Lightroom doesn't support ... quite a lot of stuff and when it does it often does it wrong. Silkypix aided Panasonic (and Fuji) to develop their raw processing and does the conversion of the "Extended-RAW" correctly if a little differently to the camera itself. Silkypix works for the Panasonic "Extended-RAW". Likewise Olympus (now OM) Workspace works for Olympus "Extended RAW". If I may liken shooting jpeg to setting up a batch process in a raw converter. Then it becomes like changing a film type. With the advantage that we can chimp and change. I am forever changing the EV compensation, the curves and metering for backlighting and such. I like to see what I'm getting immediately. If I like what I see then there is usually no reason to pester the raw converter and spend ages editing. The in-camera is that good now the only downside is the monitor size. I'm wondering about a field monitor for that.

I wanted to finally test this theory of RAW and JPEG and I used my Sony HX99 to shoot a typical home photo. It takes ONE image but you see TWO files: One is RAW and the other is JPEG 1. RAW file size was 18,645KB 2. JPEG was taking up 8,728KB Clearly the JPEG was slightly more than 2.13X smaller which is always a welcome. Which one was clearer? JPEG was! There some items of text file in a DVD cabinet. I could read the words "Panasonic" in JPEG format but NOT in RAW which was very surprising to me! Also, Alex Monitor was above and I could make out the words displayed on JPEG but NOT in RAW. How good is that! Switching between JPEG and RAW using ACDSEE, I would tell that the JPEG had won as a moved between RAW and JPEG with a wheelhouse one rotation. Now I know someone will write a comment like what about when you process etc. But in one simple terms, JPEG image had less noise, was sharper and smaller in file size. I am now 99% convinced that JPEG is way forward. If anyone wishes to try the SAME technique and has a Digital Camera (mines a Sony HX99) please try the same experiment and let me know which one you prefect.

That said, the same argument applies to why I've been bringing a Fuji X-T30 along the last year or so. It's light and compact with great film simulations that produce great jpegs right out of the camera when using the same discipline I use while shooting film. Of course, I shoot Jpeg+RAW, but I find myself exposing for what I want in the shot and not for maximum RAW. I get most of the film experience minus getting out the tanks, developer, and scanner. The Xpro 3 REALLY tempted me and still does, but I couldn't justify the cost for an experiment at the time.

In cases when I can see a good EVF or LCD clearly, I prefer to use the exposure emulation of liveview followed by chimping sometimes which gives me the look of the final result. It may be that I will have a high dynamic range scene and have to sacrifice shadows or highlights so the histogram or blinkies tells me so but does not tell me aesthetically is that the creative look I want.

For stills, particularly artistic shots, I value the look of the scene and the tones that matter to me are of the subject more than the rest of the scene (which I might purposely sacrifice) :)

@@emerywd I don't have the S1, so I recommend you use this video as a starting point and fine tune the settings. I don't think you have to do a lot to get similar results. Experiment, move the sliders and see what happens.

Raw is fine however in the critical world of crime scene photography we shoot jpeg primarily because the files would be far too large and not for any good reason.

Thanks for your comment. There is a time and a place for both file formats.

So lowering the sharpness gives you more noisy and grainy images instead of mushy? What??

You were not listening. Lowering the noise reduction (from 0 to -1) will give you a bit more noise at high ISO, but also a bit more natural looking picture in my opinion.

One thing I like about jpeg is the in camera noise reduction which is fairly well judged if a bit smudgey of fine details. It can often do a better job than I can in Luminar! God damn too early - 360p lol

i almost always shoot jpg on my fuji gfx it delivers so nice jpg clients are more than happy but in a big nice sunset the colors from a 16 bit TIFF file 600mb in size is and looks better than a 8 bits jpg where bending is an big issue in 8 bits but landscape i don't see much of a difference on jpg raw converted to 16 bit TIFF (jpeg is 80%compressed vs tiff) loses too much color info

Thanks for sharing.

Loved this video. As a JPG hobby shooter who does minor adjustments to select photos, never felt the desire to shoot RAW. Check out a talk called 'In Camera Artistry' on the B&H channel

Well all of my images need post processing as I always have to crop the image; I never use images with the same format as the sensor, most being anamorphic or an even more severe crop. I prefer processing jpgs as for me, as I use a separate RAW loader, processing RAWs will involve an extra step. I have found that, which medium I choose depends on the camera. My Panasonic GX9 is the first camera I can completely rely on to provide good jpgs that are well exposed, good white balance and excellent image quality. On the images I produce I cant really see any difference so I only use jpgs unless there is a taking problem such as difficult lighting. My new Sony A7 seems good as well but I have only had it a week; I want it to take my adapted Nikkor primes as my MFT sensors seem a bit small for that purpose. Cameras that always require RAW dont last long in my ownership. Leica TL2 had the worst jpgs I ever had so always used RAW until I sold it in frustration last month. The Nikon D7100 I had 2 years ago had to have white balance set manually (never seen worse white balance) and the exposure was all over the place so I always mostly used RAW. My Olympus TG-3 always produces nice jpgs which is lucky as it doesnt shoot RAW and that makes a good point. If a cheap point and shoot can always produce good jpgs I expect an expensive camera to produce good jpgs as well. I do not buy this photographer crap about needing to control your camera better; if I cant control a camera now after 62 years of photography I never will. If a manufacturer cant produce a decent electronic camera nowadays they dont deserve to be in business; yes you Nikon (my older Nikons like my D700 or D80 made before 2010 produce perfect jpgs and RAWs, the D7100 is the worst camera I ever owned and caused me to switch to Panasonic after 50 years; points at Nikon's recent sales figures, nuff said). So, in an ideal world you dont need RAW but, things are never perfect so best to have the option. Have fun ;-)

Yes, I like the Panasonic Colours and the GX9 is a nice size. I’d like to get the Olympus 17mm F1.8 lens.

The solution to me is simple. With todays cheap memory cards and massive storage, for still shots, just shoot in RAW or use lossless compression if it has it. If no lossless compression is available, try the lowest compression setting of JPG which should be close to lossless.

Just be careful that staying with jpg isn’t stopping your development as a photographer. And working with raw is a great way of learning about photography.

If you can't get great images using JPG nowadays, maybe you need to work on the shooting skills more than editing skills using RAW. And yes, I know RAW has more to work with. RAW may be better indeed, but JPG is pretty good, and what makes a great shot has more to do with art skills, for many photographers, not interested in pixel peeping. -Loren lorenschwiderski.smugmug.com/
