Hello my friends! We had some productive discussions about OLPF and moire effects in previous threads.
I am trying to understand why sony sensors produce this exceptionally strong false colour striping on such patterns. I don't see it on other cameras without OLPF.
Might it be related to differences in microlens design? PDAF pixels?
>>
>>4530992
I just added diHque73 to the filter instead
>>
>>4531056
It's just an adobe camera raw bug. These aliasing patterns completely change depending on the raw processor used because not all demosaicing algorithms are equal, and not all raw processors support all raw formats equally. Dpreview doesn't use a good one. Huge budget and dpreview paid for a broken website instead of a capture one subscription.

Unless you actually use adobe camera raw their "raw" preview doesn't represent what you'd actually see using a camera.

Added to the list btw.
>>
>>4531066
Why would they pay for a subscription to a software that's irrelevant to the vast majority of people? Everyone uses Lightroom so it makes sense for them to use exactly that. That way people know what to expect.
>>
>>4531068
>Everyone
Capture one and photoshop are the industry standards. It's telling that federal grants fund American Graphics Institute capture one and photoshop training, but not lightroom training. Lightroom is low end software full of gimmicks like generative AI.

If you can't afford capture one but think you can afford a $1499 a6700 maybe you should stop asking questions about a part of photography that is above your pay grade, re-balance your budget, and stick to micro four thirds and used DSLRs.

Follow along, we are well aware that no OLPF causes false colour and moire effects with little to no benefit.
The question is why Sony's moire effects are so much more prominent in the same circumstances.

Also, whoever wrote that in your image is misleading people. Shooting RAW helps very little in cleaning up moire since moire is corruption at the RAW data level.

If filterchad is who i think he is he went through the effort of opening the raws in different programs, capture one and sony’s free one, and showing everyone how the moire vanished. it is objectively an adobe camera raw issue. that moire spammer never learned from that, and that moire spammer cant evade the filters like cANON (human, allegedly) can is p much proof its always been an AI powered shitposter.
>>
>>4531123
The only thing filtercuck proved was that C1's AI algorithm is more sensitive and can therefore suppress color more efficiently when it encounters moire. The destroyed information stays destroyed though, the AI merely does guesswork. And if the moire shows up in an area with colors, that information is gone.

You were already told that if you buy a camera with a weak or absent OLPF, it is your responsibility to blur the image if it has to be blurred to prevent aliasing, because fixing in post is imperfect. If you buy a camera with a strong OLPF, every image is blurred no matter what.

In this case you are posting dpreview samples shot poorly, at a very sharp lenses sharpest apertures rather than f/11 or f/16 which would prevent the aliasing entirely and have the same effect as an OLPF. So would using a less clinical lens or a diffusion filter.

You can be told these things again and again but you just forget them and restart your propaganda machine. You can be told these things again and again, and you'll make a new thread so you can pretend you weren't. And then you post literal advertisements for kolari products.

You have been repeatedly asked to post a photo you took with this problem. You were unable to. You have been repeatedly asked to prove you own a camera. You have been unable to. How much did your employer pay 4chan for you to be allowed to spam like this?
>>
>>4531111
>we are well aware that no OLPF causes false colour and moire effects with little to no benefit.
Erm, greater detail. Why would you buy a high res body and then cuck it down to the level of the low res ones by blurring the whole image? Moire isn't actually a very common issue so in most situations it's beneficial to not have an OLPF, the few cases where it does crop up you can minimise it for the most part in post.
>>
>>4531131
You can also just shoot around it. Diffraction and diffusion both do the same thing and applications where moire matters (architecture and fashion) are usually shot at f/11-f/22 or with beauty filters and softer lenses, so pros never cared about this. Its just one genuinely autistic (like the mentally disabled kind) guy hyperfocused on dpreview samples that are SOOC jpegs and adobe camera raw with all corrections off (neither of which are ever used by pros for quality work).

True.

Assuming both are being operated correctly, untrue.

iPhones make pretty good video cameras honestly. They used gutted iPhone cameras for some of the on-car shots in that F1 movie, where full size cameras would not have been practical. Not to say that any video that comes out of a phone is cinema quality; it isn't. And in that movie they were using just the camera, not the phone or the phones processing, and they were still putting the footage through professional editing and grading. They're much better video cameras than stills cameras.

That's not how it works, "blurring" in post isn't the fix. Best you can do is guesswork with the surrounding colors. The false color phenomena is mostly caused by the subpixels of each affected pixel getting uneven illumination due to high frequency detail. A well-designed OLPF evens out the pixel enough to negate the issue.

No, because moire causes rainbows

Because the phone does the heavy lifting for the normalfags, the full frame camera has the potential to look better but with competent postprocessing. Meanwhile the phone gets you a pleasant result SOOC.

After a year of photography/gearfagging, I will have to admit he's right and I am getting quite annoyed at excessive background blur. I used to think it was cool and I've spent a lot of money on fast lenses, but... why? It looks like shit.

Are fast lenses a modern/AF obsession? I don't see how anyone was manually-focusing even f1.4 lenses back in the SLR days before electronic focus aids, unless they were shooting everything at infinity focus, or shooting from a tripod, because even the natural swaying of your body back and forth will cause you to lose focus.

When did you stop giving a shit about fast lenses? IBIS and modern sensors seem to have made up most of the difference in low light, which is the only other reason they exist.
>>
>>4531164
Its a wedding photography thing

Foids like blurry backgrounds, hate grain and really hate flash. Shooting at f1.2 in a poorly lit venue solves all 3.
>>
>>4531164
I think they are neat. First party premium fast lenses in the mirrorless era are unmatched when it comes to image quality. They are rather impractical considering their weight, but it is cool to have the option to blow out the background.
It is kinda silly how far it has gotten where people are overly fixated on the quality of the bokeh and such. Personally I think so called busy bokeh looks cool now that everybody wants that "creamy" stuff.
>>
>>4531164
>I don't see how anyone was manually-focusing even f1.4 lenses back in the SLR days before electronic focus aids
You're talking about stills right? Fast lenses are way easier to focus, its much clearer what is an isnt in focus than say an f/3.5 50mm lens. Yes, it's true you can lose focus if you move your camera around too much, but standing still to take the shot is sort of an important part of photography.
>>
>>4531111
>Also, whoever wrote that in your image is misleading people. Shooting RAW helps very little in cleaning up moire since moire is corruption at the RAW data level.
Unironically it was sourced from Nikon's website kek.
>>
>>4531131
>Why would you buy a high res body and then cuck it down to the level of the low res ones by blurring the whole image?
right it's better to blur the whole image AND lose several stops of light by shooting at diffraction apertures.
>>
>>4531170
>oh no, stops of light lost!
You're very angry about something you have zero experience with. Basically every pro is using a tripod or stabilization when shooting architecture, or flash ween shooting fashion. They will also use softer lenses purposefully rather than buying a sharp lens just to have mandatory blur from an AA filter.

If you have an issue with it, micro four thirds cameras are more your speed. They get free anti-aliasing because most lenses are a little soft for the pixel pitch. I mean, you talk about "sub pixels" and think capture one is using AI to demosaic. You have zero clue. Bayer pixels are actual pixels. Demosaicing algorithms make passes through the image inferring the other two color values for each one. There are no "sub pixels". That's how MONITORS, not cameras, work. More advanced demosaicing algorithms don't have as many moire issues because they're more accurate at this at small scales. The most advanced do multiple passes over the image refining their guesses to eliminate false information. This is what advanced software actually does.

>>
>>4531181
moire occurs after demosaicing. it's not "corrupted at the raw level". it's a demosaicing error. at the raw level, images are monochrome. that's why better demosaicing methods produce less moire. retard.

An OLPF would spread the color data to the adjacent photosites and then RAW sharpening would reconstruct the detail with minimal loss.

oopsies, still striped!
Why? because the sensor has physical color filters on each subpixel which pass only certain wavelengths of color. When a detail is so small as to trigger only certain colors when it should be triggering all colors, the sensor records a false color (false intensity). The solution to that is an expensive piece of optics called an optical low pass filter, which spreads light to adjacent subpixels, which causes an accurate color to be recorded. Then RAW sharpening restores the detail to be nearly as good as without OLPF but without false color.
>>
>>4531186
>Still striped
It's very clearly not "striped" and you are zooming in enough to see individual pixels clearly. Can you show us where professionals avoided leica Ms like the plague over the lack of an OLPF? Where professionals refused to buy cameras without them? Why does this seem to matter when you pixel peep dpreview samples processed in ACR but not in real life?

Please remember, professionals avoid OLPFs like the plague. They do not want them. You on the other hand are obsessed with a topic you don't understand from a hobby you don't do and have literally no cameras to buy because professionals, who do this for a living, do not want a single thing you do. You have never posted a photo you took. You have never proven you own a camera.

Leicas are pretty heavily used in fashion and editorial photography, actually. And the point does stand, most cameras sold today have no or a very weak AA filter because they're pretty much useless in stills and actually do more harm than good.

Much like mirror boxes, but mirror boxes are just flat out inferior and contribute heavily to focus inaccuracy, bad lens design, and unwanted blur. Mirrorless has been a huge upgrade.

Those individual pixels are what causes the moire artifacts. It's not pixel peeping for detail, it's pixel peeping to find the reason the image looks like shit zoomed out.
>>4531176
Nobody here is saying moire is completely eliminated by an OLPF, just that the occurrences become much rarer to the point it ceases to be a worry. And the D750 dog had no rainbows.

>>4531243
Absolutely any actual photo camera, even m43, is going to be better than a phone camera travesty. Phone will ruin a certain percentage of your photos with dogshit glass, sensor, and processing, you will be upset, and you will be excited to buy the next phone.

What a phone camera has going for it, it automatically compresses the dynamic range in a more or less acceptable way, so you have less need to tweak shadows and highlights in post.

Literally any interchangeable lens camera is better than a phone, but bouncers often draw the "compact/professional" line at interchangeable lenses, and compacts have been historically made worse than ILCs and equal to phones so it's a hard question to ask.

You basically get

Ricoh GRIII/X (passes as nonpro), fuji x100 series (may be pegged as pro)
>middling
canon v1, a micro four thirds camera
>less quality, more zoom than a phone

someone mentioned in another thread that Sonys use weak color filters to increase dynamic range while simultaneously hurting color accuracy. Maybe the computational compensation for weak filters exaggerates the false colors?
>>
>>4531363
It was technobabble. You were lied to. Color filters are proprietary, no one on /p/ knows which cameras use which filters besides a smattering of old DSLRs that had their specs published, and no one on /p/ knows how color filter strength actually correlates to color accuracy (jim kasson has an article on it and strong filters are actually worse than weak filters). You are looking at an adobe camera raw bug that exists because sony used to push new users towards adobe's direct competitor (and arguably, their superior) capture one.

>Sony and fuji purposefully fucks you out of a shitton of revenue (they don't just get your subscription dollars, they sell your data, users=MONEY) by handing out free capture one licenses for years

Nice conspiracy theory. More like capture one already had stronger default moire mitigation so Sony in their lack of an OLPF flocked to them. Fuji had their own issues because of X-trans and also cut some deal with Capture One so they accommodated for their more complex demosaicing algorithm that doesn't exacerbate worms so much. Capture One isn't free, it's priced in. It's like computers that come with Windows and bloatware preinstalled. There's licensing money there. Stay naive if you want.

Twisting things as usual. There is an optimum filter strength. Not too strong and not too weak.

Used this setup for some 8x10 direct positive headshots. Came out lovely. Glowing, soft, even lighting with a touch of contrast to keep things interesting. Pretty catch light in the eyes.
One grid for background, one grid hair light, keylight is the mola setti beauty dish with a sock, and the curved reflector to reduce shadows under the chin and act as a very mild kicker for opposite side of the keylight.
I used a 4800ws strobe at full power just for the key light, and a second 2400ws pack split between the two gridded strobes. f5.6 was right on the money for the exposure.

Chose to use a 270mm meyer & co schnellarbeiter F3 petzval. I was photographing my younger nephew so I didn't want it to be too soft/dreamy. Tip of nose to a little behind the chin was in focus. Everyone loved them.
The extreme detail of 8x10 portraiture creates really striking and powerful portraits. It's like you're looking into someones soul. It's really intense and beautiful, especially with b&w.

Once I get my darkroom built out I'll have my whole shop organized and Ill be able to have a much nicer and professional looking area dedicated to portraiture. This works just fine for seated portraits.

Fuji worms are also fixed by markestejn 3 demosaicing in FOSS raw processors. Go figure. It's just adobe. Sony and fuji are good. People would rather use them than dogshit DSLRs that are only fully usable for autists and people with 2+ years experience.

Current options are:
Lumix GX1
Lumix GF7
Olympus EM10
Olympus EPL6


I have seen each of these for £100 with lenses, the em10 looks nice anyone have experience with these cameras whats good/bad?

>>
>>4531501
I'm not buying a new camera until they settle on cross-brand standards. I'm tentatively okay with different mounts for smaller sensor sizes since then you can make the mount smaller as well (in theory) but they should all use the same communications protocol for electronics and it should always be possible to use a lens for a larger sensor on a mount for a smaller sensor with a simple and cheap adapter.
>>4531504
M42 was technically East German so you may be right. But if that's the case then I guess commies do have good ideas every now and then. Also L-mount isn't communist despite being an attempt at this (which will fail, because Leica likes to dictate what quality of cameras you can and can't sell with L-mount, which incidentally makes it extremely capitalist, ironically)

>>
>>4531507
yeah obviously makes sense for old SLRs to have a different mount than mirrorless, or for compact formats like M4/3 or for medium large formats but not if they're all using the same bayonet mount with a bunch of electrical contacts on the same size sensor.

And if they do use different mounts, let them be different in things like sensor size, why not?

>>
>>4531538
>if all the major camera manufacturers were based in Europe not Japan, I imagine the EU would
Mandate something like canon EF halfway into mirrorless development, presenting lens designers with challenges that result in oversized overcomplex glass, and end up mandating something like sony mount which is sufficiently sized for both FF and APS-C but presents lens designers with challenges that result in overcomplex glass and sensor designers with filter-stack design challenges to correct the ray angles.

Posted the wetplate in the gear thread a few days ago. Dont normally post pics in here tho. It's kinda gay unless you're demonstrating something, especially 4/10 snapshits.
I have my casual photography and then my serious photography. Wandering around with only a camera is casual photography. Studio work is serious photography. For me. Yours could be different.
92% of pictures posted here are casual photographs. Not necessarily a bad thing, but you can only get so good of a picture aimlessly wandering around with only a compact camera. I wish more people understood this and really started making photographs to share.
>>4531464
This is a great example of casual photography. It's compositionally okay aside from the fact that it was lazily taken at standing height. It captures a relatively pretty scene, but who gives a shit about? I've seen essentially that same picture 20+ times already. Curving road in the woods. Woohoo. You went hiking. Nice.
Ill never frame it and hang it on my wall. I already forgot it exists. It's really nothing more than the evidence you pressed a button standing in the woods. As an outside observer I feel almost nothing from it.

It was briefly a thing with M42. Then every brand realised their customers were buying first-party glass from other brands if they decided that someone else offered a better price or a better product, and they weren't getting a cut. So mounts became proprietary to secure sales.
Also XKCD is retarded reddit onions drivel. USB alone proves that comic wrong. Every industry has at least one example of a successful universal standard.

They also realized they lacked the instant communication to develop a good standard for auto-exposure and it was better if they all tested their solutions independently.

>USB proves that comic wrong
There are 4 different USB ports in common use and 3 of them are pretty fragile. Now that USB-C is being slowly forced we can expect better future ports to be totally sidelined, harder than firewire, until the EU finally accepts that they dont violate islamic feelings or something.
>>
>>4531558
>There are 4 different USB ports in common use and 3 of them are pretty fragile
All of them completely forward and backward-compatible, same communications protocols, all plugs convertible to any other plug. Total inter-operability.
>Now that USB-C is being slowly forced we can expect better future ports to be totally sidelined
Because we don't need any more. Type-C for anything that's size-sensitive, full-size Type-A and Type-B for everything that isn't. Transfer rates may be improved but the physical connectors will stay the same. And bitches like you will complain while enjoying the benefit of being able to plug your old-ass shit into USB5 ports or vice-versa.
USB is based as fuck, and the EU is right to mandate its adoption. Firewire always sucked ass and you know it.
>They also realized they lacked the instant communication to develop a good standard for auto-exposure and it was better if they all tested their solutions independently.

50 grams. It's not bean soup. It's lentil cow shit curry.

Whats actually going on is
Sony still sells nikon a lot of their sensors even after they bought RED
Curiously everyone who buys sony sensors just can NOT make a full featured full frame compact.
The a7cii and a7cr are sony's top sellers and the only reason they can claim "#1 in full frame market share" because they are the only fully featured full frame compacts
The only brand even coming close to stepping on their toes is canon, who doesnt buy sony sensors, and they share blackrock money (notoriously skeevy and meddling activist investor) so I don't think a rangefinder style canon is ever happening until sony is ready to compete, and sony cameras just can't deliver the same quality as canon without leaning on megapixels, let alone the same build quality

>>4531695
Western brick and mortar retail is a pretty irrelevant sector for cameras

The a7cii topped the charts in japan and china, which are larger markets than the west, especially western brick and mortar.

Refusing to directly compete with what sells the most in the largest markets is extremely suspicious. It's $100 off to save 50g (can most people even notice 50g?) and axe major features. Not bean soup. Cow shit curry.

Not defending, just trying to help inform you, as someone that actually sells Sony cameras

a GFX-sized medium format sensor would technically fit inside the Z mount. Would they ever do it?

Sony does the same thing and their lenses often vignette less than canon's

You forgot to mention that jet fuel can't melt sealed beams.

It's not that. The flange diameter is fine. The problem is that Z mount lenses are designed to be used with full-frame sensors, the image circle wouldn't be big enough for MF. It's the same problem as using an APS-C lens on FF.

Its called a scamera. A greedy corporation cuts costs so much, it can seem like there was no reason to on the surface, just because there are retards who buy them without knowing anything about cameras, so when they learn something, they realize they got screwed and buy another camera - once they have enough lenses in the proprietary mount that it is difficult and financially inadvisable to switch brands (for a normal person, this is as little as two). Even if they upgrade to a used higher end model instead of buying new they're still buying canon accessories for life and it is for this reason canon comes down hard on 3rd party lenses and batteries.

A lot of the feature cuts are to reduce assembly steps since labor is more expensive than parts. They don't really care what features are axed as long as the end result has fewer useful controls than a nicer camera.

Canon is so cheap they even crippled the sensor size.

I fell for the meme. It is my first full frame digital camera and my first Nikon. Compared to my Panasonic G9II...
>front and rear dials are terrible. The front dial is pushed too far in, you can only get 4-5 clicks before having to reset your finger. And it is mushy and not satisfying. The rear dial is a bit better but the way the thumb grip area is designed blocks your thumb from spinning it easily.
>The ISO dial is retarded. You spin the front wheel (while holding the iso button) to change from auto to manual, and the back wheel to change the actual iso once in manual mode. Retarded, just put it all on one dial
>buttons are generally mushy.

>NO FUCKING USB MASS STORAGE OVER USB-C! FUCK YOU NIKON! No, they don't list it on their spec list. I have to pull the card out of my camera and plug it into a card reader which I then plug into my laptop like a fucking monkey. I cannot write any info (like a firmware update) to the sd card without the card reader.
These are only my first impressions. I will update in the next thread. So far I am not happy and my G9II takes a shit on this thing.

your only real, functional issues are from exclusively using linux. no shit a major company isn't going to invest in compatibility with something less than 1% of first worlders do.

The rest is you prioritizing how it feels to fingerfuck a camera over the image rendering the camera is capable of in skilled hands.

Honestly you've done nothing more than further convince me that no one who uses linux as a desktop OS without employment in, ie: cybersecurity, software development, systems administration or international intelligence should be considered fully human. Desktop linux without monetary incentive is a universal indicator that nothing you do matters and you will never produce anything of value.

The desktop linux user always turns out to be an entitled autist who has little freakouts over nothing that matters in reality and paranoid delusions about the government finding their lolicon stash. Total linturd death.

>>4531802
>>4531805
Incorrect. All nikon cameras just plug right in and work on windows. It's MTP, not mass storage. Windows supports MTP by default with no .cfg editing required.
>it doesnt combine pixel shift in camera
Yeah you might be surprised to know this but basically 99% of people who use FF ILCs exclusively shoot raw for anything quality critical enough to require pixel shift because a full sized raw processor will always be superior to a camera's basic one. If you don't care about the quality bump from using proper raw software, why would you care about the quality bump from shooting full frame?

I don't blame nikon for overlooking this at all. Pixel shift images always need manually edited for motion artifacts unless it's photos of entirely static small objects (fucking city skylines move too much for pixel shift) so doing it in camera tends to be a crapshoot.
>>
>>4531810
What do you mean by "good knobs"? Nikon has weather sealing in excess of most olympus cameras, probably better than the om1ii, as evidenced by nikons going to space (hell environment full of conductive, electronics-wrecking dust). Their creakiest, most plasticky, least well made FF (nikon ZF) was personally tested in a typhoon by matt granger, which places it in excess of IP67 standards.

The mush you're feeling is all the sealing. $1500 FF camera. It's pretty expensive to somehow combine IP67 grade moisture barriers with the crisp feel you'd expect out of a metal pistol. The G9II buttons feel crisper because the moisture barriers are lesser, and they saved even more money by using an exponentially cheaper sensor, and cheaper electronics with less miniaturization (the g9II is the same size as an FF S5)

>I only use manual lenses, autofocus is demonic technology
If you think something this retarded why did you buy a full frame camera?

May we see a photo of the full frame camera you purchased or are you just shilling?
>>
>>4531812
And yes I'm saying it's possible you're fucking lying and the Z5II's buttons are crisp (your inability to figure out that nikon cameras connect via MTP is a clue that you might be lying instead of just retarded, but who knows with linturds...), but all I know myself is how it feels to use a ZF, and it's not as crisp as the Z6II/Z7II.

You use an operating system fully controlled by the five eyes+mossad. It's only open source so they have plausible deniability.

>The best photo you could take with a god tier FF camera is a flat, badly edited tomato snapshit
Why buy full frame if you're such a bad photographer you make it look like micro four thirds?

Full frame is for people who can make micro four thirds almost look like full frame and still notice the lacking tonality and soulless rendering.

It's glow-ware, which is why tranny COCs were forced everywhere, systemD now meets the technical definition of the actual operating system (and linux is just a hardware management program it loads), and torvalds purged all russian origin maintainers.

The argument is that you're not concerned with photography as much as you are concerned with the camera as a sort of funko pop
It's like you bought a slow as fuck sports-styled car with objectively bad handling in real track conditions, and yet talk about the road feel while all you do is commute. Then one day you buy a serious track car in the same category as a luxuo-sport consumerbait machine and say "the road feel is shit" "i hate driving this" "the gas pedal dont work right, i cant shift mah gears".

All nikon cameras can transfer photos from the camera to a PC over the USB cable. All of them. If you were unable to do this maybe you shouldnt be using linux when you're too fucking stupid to get MTP working.

A card reader is required to write to the card for very basic, obvious security reasons - stopping field agents from easily writing to the memory cards and installing malicious firmware if they can't have a card reader and full fledged computer on hand, forcing them to resort to more obvious things like full confiscation and tampering that would break trust and make the attack weaker.

The camera does not work as a USB drive because it is a professional device and professionals do not want or need random, untrusted computers writing to their memory cards over USB.

I've explained this to you in clear terms over three fucking times and all you've done is act like the exact kind of incel you revealed you were when you admitted you were paranoid over microsoft finding known CSAM hashes on your device but never cared about actual surveillance methods.
All desktop linux users that dont have a valid incentive for using linux are exactly like you. Really.

There is no point arguing with that guy. He's mentally ill.


my fuji can do mass storage and works fine on Linux btw
>>
>>4531869
>All nikon cameras can transfer photos from the camera to a PC over the USB cable. All of them. If you were unable to do this maybe you shouldnt be using linux when you're too fucking stupid to get MTP working.
We've figured that out.
>stopping field agents from easily writing to the memory cards and installing malicious firmware if they can't have a card reader and full fledged computer on hand
This has never happened and never will happen to you or anyone you know or anyone they know.

Unpaid brand shills will never admit any flaw in their brand. If your brand has flaws, you have to commit sudoku.
>>

Fuji also isn't a professional brand.

>>4531877
Thats fucking rich coming from the linturd incel that freaks out over apple and microsoft having the ability to scan for CSAM, but happily uses linux "for privacy" unware that his very hardware is so backdoored that five to six intelligence agencies have full access to your entire home network if they so desire

Nikon cameras are sold to actual professionals, including international journalists
It is very important the USB port does not allow writing to the memory card. A dedicated small USB device could do shit like this
>I went to russia, they plugged a lil USB thing in and wiped both my memory cards
>i went to russia, they took my camera, plugged a lil USB thing in and now it's running modified firmware that uses the built in wifi to compromise other devices and phone home
And you wouldn't notice because they could pull it off very quickly with sleight of hand. Removing cards however would break your trust.

The USB port is read only for a good fucking reason.

This does not need explained further.
>>
>>4531875
Phones and non-crippled cameras let you enable and disable MTP or mass storage. That is a sexlcurity feature, the rest is cost cutting or other bullshit.

>let ivan turn on insecure mode from the non-password protected menu
>"im just looking at your photos comrade, making sure no intelligence going to holhol *shifts gloved hand to cover port side*"
Or, know, that if he wasn't able to remove the memory cards, its highly unlike he was able to do anything.

Yeah man. I kinda regret selling my xt3 and leaving fuji. Still have my lenses though, I will likely come back. I loved not having to edit my photos (other than crops) because of film sims and the good colors.

yeah literally all linux users think about is how they want every possible feature and how law enforcement agencies might catch them with stolen or illegal material

they don't think of how electronics are used irl or have concerns other than hiding from the law of their home country and personally wanting do trivial things on their computer like use a camera as an mp3 player

What actual police will do is stop you separately at passport control and then take time questioning you and going through your stuff.
>>
Why would you want to write to a cameras memory cards from the USB port

Theyre right, thats a security flaw and it doesnt have anything to do with using the camera properly
>>
>>4531888
>"Actual police"
Mate, the NCIS bought Z6IIs. The read only MTP thing isn't for people who have to worry about american customs checking for stolen movies and shit. Nikon has been a camera supplier for gov/LE in the west for a long time. They have a custom Z6III variant with no wireless specifically to add another layer of security.

The USB port being MTP, read only was a conscious design decision for customers with more pressing concerns than "can I hide my furry porn on this without buying a sus card reader my mom would ask about?"

There are also designated tamper seal placement zones over and under the covers if you know where to look.
>>
>>4531831
>what i'm hearing is that nikon and sony are for people who do photography and care about their photos, and lumix and fuji are for people who pose as photographers and like to fingerfuck and look at cameras

Sony is for people who care about subject tracking autofocus.
Lumix is for people who care about everything else.
>>
>>4531891
sony is for people who care about megapixels because they cant shoot for shit and have to crop and rotate every single photo
as far as autofocus goes canon and nikon already equaled sony a while ago. the sony a1ii actually grabs backgrounds more than the nikon z8.

lumix is for freakish geeks who care about maximum software features but dont have time to do any photography between fixing their linux install, watching anime, and browsing weird, dubiously legal porn. that, and maybe <200 video nerds who might actually be attempting real cinema if they are not just frame peeping.

>security flaw
Is everyone here clinically retarded?
>>
>>4531894
Is it a security flaw if I could write to your computer just by turning it on and plugging something in?

Why wouldn't it be a security flaw if I could do that to your camera?
>but it could be a toggle
If that toggle weren't password protected, I could get to it while you thought I was scrolling through your photos.
>>
>>4531896
You're writing to the memory card and not the camera retard. Nikon shills are the worst. I guess it takes special kind of retardation to shill for a company that keeps tripping over it's own feet.
>>
>>4531890
What I'm saying is you are looking for a wrong attack vector. If Russian KGB wanted to put data on your SD card while having your camera physically in their hands, they will do exactly that - take the card out then put it back in.

For actual security you need what phones do - internal storage only and password lock for any access to data.
>>
>>4531898
>the only storage medium in the camera
>the one that the camera can load firmware from
>why its integrity matter?
Yeah lets make the camera less secure so you can store porn on it
Fuck linux users

>>4531899
If they took the card out, you'd be able to tell. If they had to take the camera out of sight, you'd know not to trust it when you got it back. If they slipped something into the USB port just out of sight, in front of you, if you didn't even know they were a KGB agent, you'd have a problem.

This risk is worth some retarded linux user being mad his "four freedoms" are being trampled on because he can't transfer porn to his camera without a card reader.
>>
>>4531899
> internal storage only and password lock for any access to data.
This is slowly coming to cameras but the need to use them quickly quickly has delayed it significantly
>>
>>4531904
Also a storage medium that may be plugged into YOUR computer as a bus device

No.

>>4531910
You're pretty fucking pissed the camera brand that sells to the feds closed at least one gaping security hole.

It's pretty important that nikon doesn't let anyone who can flip the power switch and access the USB port can't write/alter whatever data they want. I'm sorry this made it untenable for you to use your camera as a porn stash but that doesn't fucking matter. It has never been proper use to write to the card in the camera for anything but normal camera functions.

Reminder this photo is so bad that if it was taken on a z5ii the user is extremely, extremely bad at using the camera

>The ISO dial is retarded. You spin the front wheel (while holding the iso button) to change from auto to manual, and the back wheel to change the actual iso once in manual mode. Retarded, just put it all on one dial

You can change it so you don't have to hold the button in custom menu 'Release button to use dial'.
Anyways, I gave up on Nikon when I realized that they don't have a way to display clipped areas before taking the shot, only blinkies in review like cameras had 20 years ago.

youre just bad at photography if you need this crutch tbeich

>they don't have a way to display clipped areas before taking the shot
Hilarious. ON MY FOOJI I have a custom mode with Eterna color profile + highlights and shadows set to -2 for an extremely flat and dull looking image that very closely reflects the RAW. I have that custom mode mapped to a button so I can instantly toggle it on and off whenever I want to see how the RAW would look like. I also have live view blinkies and RGB histogram mapped to another custom button so I can quickly toggle it on and off to check my highlights and overall exposure.
The more time I spend here reading about other camera brands the more I'm surprised they are still around. It's pretty hard to believe Canikon couldn't figure out something this basic.
>>
>>4531904
If you actually left the house you'd know that your belongings leave your sight for a while when you are being searched, even normally at the airport, because they go through a scanner and you are checked with only your clothes on.

What do you mean don't cost extra? Good buttons add $1 to the bill of materials.

The crazy part is they actually have zebras for video mode and they refuse to ALLOW it to be used with photo mode.

You can use a custom picture control which changes clipped white to black, shooting RAW because that highlight warning will be saved in the JPEGs. Kinda stupid they don't have something like this built in and users need to use workarounds.

Only works on DSLRs. May as well use a Pentax to have live view blinkies and to not suffer the embarrassment of being seen carrying a Canon.

>>4531944

only color bit depth and actual sensor quality are inherent to a camera
"color science" is an icc profile
if you are stuck on a useless OS that doesnt belong outside of servers, ie: linux or cant afford lightroom or capture one there's no point in you using anything but fujifilm, canon, or nikon because you will never use a proper raw editor anyways and will always have to shoot jpeg

Who the fuck cares? How can you be so fucking lazy that you can't take a memory card out of a camera without bitching and whining like a pathetic little autistic 3 year old? My camera has a working USB port and I still pull the card because I like using a card reader and it's faster anyways. Grow up.

Actually you know what, I hope they make literally EVERY camera ever read-only MTP over USB as an industry standard purely to make you seethe. Even better, I hope they decide that actually, USB in general is just more potential attack surface for no reason when card readers exist, and delete the USB port entirely as an industry standard. And I hope they put a combination lock on the card door too so that you can use it even though you don't need it and then forget the combination, like the moron you are.
>>
>>4532010
>How can you be so fucking lazy that you can't take a memory card out of a camera
Why pay for a card reader if my camera can work as a card reader? MTP and PTP are slow and annoying to use for no good reason. Your camera can be interfaced with over USB in so many different ways being able to mount a memory card with real file system access is not that big of a deal. The only retard here is you. Hell bent on defending your dying brand of choice gobbling up that corporate cock like a good boy.

that's why all full frame cameras have the same colors right.
