Since I focus on high dynamic range images I generally shoot 100 ISO wherever possible, and the R setting was affecting images, even when there was no noise in the image, and it wasn't needed.

This photo looks like it has a halo around the trees, a line of light between the tree tops and the sky. A post-processing artefact?

Probably a processing artifact. Unless i see potential in an image I usually use a cheap and dirty approach.

Hi,

NR is off on camera and in DCU I opened the PEF and with "Save picture" I saved a TIFF file.

From a JPEG shooter - DCU hides what the camera can do?
