>>4387303>Raw is no corrections except lens compensation, "Jpeg" is ACR's default which bakes in sharpening, luma smoothing, and chroma smoothing which takes care of some moire but not all.No, "JPEG" selected there is camera-generated JPEG. The one you described is the one downloadable when one selects "RAW". The mirrorless camera just got caught lying and making up shit, the same shit it feeds its owner through its tiny TV put in place of a REAL, AUTHENTIC viewfinder. Enjoy the matrix, sheep.
>You're confusing BRIGHTNESS with SAMPLE SIZE. Brightness is arbitrary and a function of selected gain. The amount of information is carried by the photons hitting the sensor and at equivalent apertures you get the same photons assuming the same transmission. When you work at a lower aperture, you're collecting less information over the whole sensor.
