So I’m being drawn closer and closer (naturally) into macro/super-macro land and given my penchant for easy-to-carry-and-use photography, I’ve been swayed to join the TG-6 owner club. But I would really love some decent RAW files to run some image editing tests with before I part with any more of t…

[image] 0x4372616967: If you want heaps of raw file examples, most ISO 800, message me on iNat and I’ll upload a bunch to my dropbox and give you a link Thanks craig-r! Really, just one or two will do. The higher the ISO sample the better, but it would be nice to compare the results between s…

Hi @broacher , I also have the same camera and could probably supply some high ISO images if you need them. Why in particular are you asking about high ISO images? Because they represent the extreme end of the spectrum (i.e. worst case scenario)? Reason I ask is because I don’t really think it’s rep…

[image] natemarchessault: Why in particular are you asking about high ISO images? In short, because I routinely use a product called PureRaw (from DxO) to process my RAW files from a Sony Alpha 6000, with great success. And this software also supports the RAW files from the Olympus TG-6 (and …

Gotcha, that makes sense. I did see the one you cleaned up and it looked pretty good despite all the noise in the original photo. I’ll be able to get you some shots in the next couple days.

It’s not ISO related but one thing that you should be aware of, which is VERY deceptive of the Olympus marketing department, is that it offers you 3 basic f-stops … not true. For macro photography higher f-stop values give you the greater depth of field. When I’m shooting macro with my Canon DSLR ge…

Hi christrent. Welcome to the forum and thanks for jumping in here. [image] christrent: The maximum f-stop you can get is actually f/6.3 From my research, I thought it was actually even lower, at 4.9. You seem to know your macro stuff very well, and your right, of course about all the short…

I can agree with others about awful noise (but idable photos) and very thin dof, spend 5 mins near a moth and then just shot it with a phone because with it was so hard to get it right. I got it for easy underwater photos and for my husband to use, so it’s not critical for me, but if you want more t…

And just so you know where I’m coming from, I’ve been lugging a Canon 90D with a 100-400V2 and 40mm of stacked extension tubes down the side of a cliff with rope to the slippery tide pools at night in the fog. Heh heh, so yeah, that’s why I now have a TG6 (90% because of the waterproof feature so I …

[image] christrent: If you’re going to use the built in flash on macro shots you’ll need the FD-1 diffuser attachment Be aware that if the diffuser attachment is attached it changes the f-stop the camera chooses when in some modes

[image] 0x4372616967: Be aware that if the diffuser attachment is attached it changes the f-stop the camera chooses when in some modes Correct. That’s why you have to run in Aperture Priority mode, it’s the only way I’ve found to keep the f/6.3 locked in (but still only at 4x zoom which creat…
