A6300/6500, need help to get it right.

[Alex Uzan]

Hi there, 

I'm trying to understand why there are so many picture profiles ans sub-settings to adjust them. That's too much.

I shoot with no profile in portrait mode -3 -3 -3 and color grade in Resolve, but maybe I'm missing the a6300 potential. So your aknowledge could help me to get it right.

My main use is to shoot product reviews indoor on a simple table with two softbox.

1. Should I stay with no profile or choose one ?
2. I've read that native iso is 800. Is that mean that 100 iso is less good ?
3. If I choose a pp, which one is better for my need.

Sorry for these noob questions,  but all that profile thing is completely new to me.

Thanks for your help

1) If those settings work for you and you enjoy the results, stick with them!
2) Native ISO just means the lowest ISO you can use in S-log mode. Going to lower values outside of that mode should not lower quality
3) What do you mean by PP?

1) Yep that works, but I don't like to not use full potential of my gear.

2) Are you sure ? I think I've read here that native iso, which should give better results, is not ncessarly the lowest Iso.

3) I meant Picture Profile.
