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

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

I’m also going to run these experiments on some more distant subjects and report back
