I use the middle settings for saturation, sharpness and contrast, and have never had an issue with the jpeg's. In processing, I find that using Unsharp Mask at 50-70%, radius 1 and threshold 0 works well for prints up to A4 (the biggest I've gone with digital uncropped). I don't know why people would criticize an unprocessed jpeg in the first place, it's surely a given that it needs to be worked with?

She will probably shoot JPEGs. I always use PEF, and recall that *ist D JPEGs were criticized for being soft and lacking contrast. I would like to set the camera so that she'll be satisfied with the images. Does anyone recall what in-camera settings to use for sharpness and brilliance for this camera?
