Hi, now I'm curious regarding beneficial uses of the debug mode.
Is there a way to switch of the mandatory RAW denoising in K-5*, which otherwise kicks in at somewhere between ISO=1600 and 3200?
Background:
- I don't want the body to do its lower-quality, superficial RAW denoising, but want to use PC Software (which fully harnesses the PC processor power and is generaly superior for such a task).
- the K-3 would benefit as well. But I don't know the exact ISO value where RAW denoising kicks in there, because the denoising is either of a type not detected by DxOMark's "auto correlation" test, or they simply forgot to tag smoothed ISOs as "smoothed" in their charts.
Also for the K-5* I don't now the exact threshold, because DxOMark only tests full EV ISO steps, not half or third steps. But if this RAW denoising cr*p is switched off alltogether, one simply woudln't need to care any longer.
With older cams, e.g. K20D, one could switch off RAW denoising via setting the parameter [DISABLENR] 1@ in a SYSPARAM.TXT control file, which was evaluated only in debug mode.
Would be great, if similar tweaks/controls would be revealed also for the recent bodies such as my K-5 II ?
Looking forward to that, would be a great bonus for high ISO usefulness :)
