Will G11 shoot RAW in full Auto Modes? Can anyone tell me if this is accurate?

Hi, Jackson, Yes, the G11 will not shoot RAW in the AUTO setting. The G11 is a very sophisticated point-and-shoot, with considerably more flexibility and customization than virtually all other point-and-shoots. But it's still a compact camera, so it makes sense to have at least one mode (AUTO) that is meant for the folks used to the simplicity of the point-and-shoot cameras. If you want to shoot in RAW and still want a fairly automatic , use the G11 in P (Program) mode.

The p7100 takes really nice shots in auto mode. However, it is a touch slower than I would like. Granted, I am comparing it do a D7000...

Your best bet with any camera is to use manual focus, auto will always be hit or miss unless you are tracking across an empty sky. Gx7 has an easy toggle switch to manual/auto.

The Flash is great. There's flash compensation controls for +/- 2 f-stops in addition to the already remarkable exposure accuracy. The flash has a manual pop-up button on the G15 version which while different, has not been a problem. The G15 is lighter and smaller than previous G models. I love it!

Its pretty fast, not in burst setting its about a sec. I never use auto though because ever since watching the videos online its pretty easy making better pictures using the other settings.

Having recently gotten a G11, I was perplexed by this problem as well, saw this post, hit the up arrow on video playback, and voila: sound at last. Somehow I'd missed this instruction on page 33 of the manual: "press the [up arrow & down arrow of the wheel] to adjust the volume." Makes sense, though not so intuitive. One point I'd offer: on my G11 it doesn't matter whether I have operational sounds (shutter, startup, etc.) on mute or at a low setting. Playback audio can still be heard provided one taps the up arrow button. If a number of other people have had the same problem, Canon might want to add this instruction to the troubleshooting pages in the back of the manual.

You can shoot in RAW at 8 frames per second for 11 shots (at continuous high mode). Samsung also supplies Intelli-studio and Samsung RAW converter software on the disk for handling images.

I only shoot RAW, and am very pleased with it and Lightroom 4. The automatic exposure and auto white balance are generally OK to start from, but I usually make adjustments. In extreme lighting I bring down highlights and increase the light in the shadows. There is a lot of detail captured - I can often get two stops of extra information in post processing, and seldom want more than that. I don't own a DSLR, so can't make a direct comparison, but I would expect it to be similar to APS-C DSLRs. I am an amateur, and would not want to make my recommendation the basis of your decision. The dpreview NEX-6 review includes a RAW Mode page, and they have some examples you can download and examine before deciding. I only shoot RAW, and am very pleased with it and Lightroom 4.

The G11 has a fairly quick way to adjust flash settings on the fly, using the quad-wheel. One press of the quad-wheel to the right brings up the flash menu; pick your desired mode for flash and you're done! Complete control. And having it built in means that the G11 has one less part to break (as opposed to pop-up flashes).

The G15 is a discontinued and replaced by the G16. I bough the G16 for its small size with robust features to compliment my Canon 5D. The SX260 is much larger than the G16 and didn't fit my needs. As for the G16 performance, spectacular! the large sensor captures large amounts of RAW data for great pictures. On board star trail processing feature has produced some DLSR quality shots. My biggest dilemma is the confusion going from 5D controls to the completely different G16 control. I still give it a 5 star rating!

I used this flash on a G5. It worked great. I would still be using it if I hadn't bailed on micro four-thirds. I would buy it again in a second.

I just received my manual a few days ago and haven't checked into all the camera will do. Will definitely try the action shot.

First, I'm in the market to buy this camera, I don't own one. I'm not trying to complain about the posts so far, but I'm wondering if you are simply using the auto mode when indoors, or have you tried other modes (Indoor Mode), ISO speeds, etc that the camera comes equipped with? If the images are "VERY POOR", what exactly have you tested? (Others report indoor images have been good).

Those are the settings for whatever condition you are shooting in.............they adjust themselves when on automatic......I'm not very techy with all this, so just let it do it's "thing".............

my understanding is it does not- and I wish it did- I wonder if a firmware update might make this possible? And just how likely such an update is? My gut says no, but i'm willing to bet they could sell a lot more of them if the unit did shoot raw. Perfect world, it would shoot Jpeg, RAW, and Jpeg+Raw. If it did, that would make me 100% more likely to buy one, as it is, I am waiting to see a few hands-on reviews before I commit to one.

Inside your home, while using the flash, your photos will be fine. The video is not so good. I own both the G11 and the more expensive G1X. G1X would be much better for the videos, and the photos would be wider in the 1080 format. G1X however is terrible for macro photos, (Close up). G1X is also larger and harder to fit in a pocket. As long as you have all the lights on in the room. The G11 will be fine.

I know that it is for a dx instead of full frame and you may get some vignetting but that is not always true. I would google 11-16 full frame vignetting to see what others have experienced. luke
