Gene I've looked and it def. offers up a totally unique perspective. Maybe someday
I've got a couple ahead of it though.

I need to read back about how to shoot Astro with the Rii did we figure out if I need NR off?? etc?? I dont want to look stupid out of the box

Turn it off, it doubles your exposure time and all it does is remove hot pixels. No actual noise reduction occurs, not sure why they call it that to be honest.

Really? I had no idea. It must do a bad job of it then because I had it on after a long 3.5 minute exposure and I still got hot pixels.

I've read that Capture One has a hot pixel removal tool, but I've not found it yet. Would love to figure that out.

That's the other thing, it only has any effect on JPEGS - like most in camera things, RAW files are untouched! I was under the impression that Capture One did it automatically? I use Lightroom though so not sure.

Where is that documented? I've never read that LENR only affects jpegs...find that really hard to believe, but I am a LE newbie so I don't know this stuff.

I'm also certain it's the case for Canons and Nikons so I assume it applies for Sony. I could be wrong of course, but as it doubles the exposure time the gain for me becomes redudent as I could spend that time taking another photo! This is eapecially important for Astrophotography (for me at least) as time is limited.

Edit: I'm reading conflicting things, some say it does affect the RAW files and some say it doesn't. I guess the best way is to test it out!

I dont think it only affects JPG as even the lens correction profiles get baked into the Raws

That's a good point. So far I've read that it is included in Nikon RAWs but doesn't affect Canon, not sure what that's based on though. But it does only remove hot pixels, which is the result of "noise" I guess, rather than the actual high ISO noise one would assume it removes.

Very nice!

Without meaning to offend anyone there's complete misinformation here. LENR works for RAW. LENR does remove noise (hence the name) and is not targetted at hot pixels which is why some hot pixels will still remain. It wont remove all noise at really high iso levels I.e astro levels. It does remove some hot pixels as they are treated as noise

Also , I can confirm LENR affects canon raw files too and not just sony

that 85 looks great it helps with who is behind the box brownie Great.

I keep reading that too and by all accounts it works well however in my limited time on capture one I haven't ever spotted it

leave it off...its really annoying to be waiting for that second frame when you want to be shooting the next actual frame.

yep...what he said...

Adobe Camera RAW does a really good job of removing hot pixels. It used to do it for my two Canon's automagically...
