Hi guys,

I have found this weird difference between what I see in my A7SIII and what I've heard online and on YT, in that my second base ISO seems to be 10000 ISO and not 12800 for Slog 3. I found this out by increasing the ISO in low light to reach that magical 12800 where the noise clears up brilliantly, except mine is one ISO stop earlier from what everyone else seems to be getting.

Has anyone heard of this before? I am not sure if I should be concerned or not as everything else in the camera otherwise works perfectly however, this is bugging me a little. Another question is, does this mean that my first base ISO is also one ISO lower than the base 640 for Slog3?

I have noticed the same thing for pretty much every other gamma as well, also tried switching PAL to NTSC with the same result.

I'm currently running firmware 1.01.

I know this post is a bit old, but I wanted to say I experienced the same thing. I had my old Sigma 30mm f/1.4 aps-c lens on, without aps-c mode enabled on the camera, at f/1.4 the circuit triggers at 10000. Otherwise it is 12800. Seems like a bug with some lenses.

      JPEG options?

      I'd suggest you start by running a simple test.  Take pictures of a typical scene/subject and each of the JPEG settings your camera offers.  Then compare them in the output that you normally produce.  You may or may not see a difference.  I normally shoot at the highest JPEG level and save that file -- but make a smaller file (lower resolution) for normal/typical use. There's plenty of editing that you can do with JPEGs on your computer -- depending on your software -- and there are features in your camera that can help out, as well.  That depends on your camera.  Put them together, and it might meet your needs.  For example, your camera probably has several bracketing features that will take the same shot with different settings with one press of the button.  Then you can select the best JPEG to work with on your computer.  I frequently use this feature to control contrast.

      If you set up some basic presets in your processing software and use batch processing, you don't need jpeg at all. I shoot RAW only, use (free) Faststone Image Viewer which will view any type of image file to cull my shots, and batch process in Darktable. I can start with 2000-3000 shots and in a matter of a few hours have them culled, processed, and posted. A handful of shots, say a couple hundred from a photo walk, are done in minutes.  This saves card space, computer space, and upload time.  The results are very good for posting online. When someone wants to buy one or I decide to print it, I can then return to the RAW file and process it individually for optimum results.  I never delete a RAW file. Sometimes I'll return to an old shot I processed several years ago and reprocess it. I have been very surprised how much better they look as my processing skills improved.
