5Dm4 Scene intelligent auto sharpness

[GWagner]

hi everyone. I have discovered that I get much sharper pictures when using seen intelligent auto. I’ve set my camera up on a tripod in M and used the exact same Aperture, shutter speed and ISO as SIA used and yet my pics are softer. I do not understand what SIA is manipulating beyond those three settings to achieve the sharpness, but I want to try to make use of it in manual where I have some creative control. I cannot imagine a more technical question but I’m hoping somebody has an answer. Thanks

You are welcome and Standard is the preferred style as default, this is the style Canon typically uses to provide their camera burst/maximum file rated performance in RAW.  I turn off all of the options (NR, lens correction, etc.) in camera and use those as needed during post to save time/battery life.

Again, I am not familiar with the 5DIV but I suspect scene intelligent is also choosing what it thinks is the best AF servo "case" when in servo mode which may be a better choice than the default Servo AF parameter setup (Case 1 unless you changed it)

While the RAW has more lattitude, if you use DPP, Canon should apply the JPEG settings to the RAW as a first-pass rendering.
