We have been critized because we used a "hard" sharpening setting ... supposedly. However, this is INCORRECT. The following settings were used for the camera JPEGs and within Olympus Studio: Color=VIVID, Sharpening=NORMAL, NR=LOW, No false color reduction. Please note that the EXIF data shows sharpening="hard" but this is not the result of a misconfiguration - when using Sharpening=LOW in Studio the EXIF data does still show "hard" sharpening. We tripple-checked this to make sure.

CaptureOne v4.8

CaptureOne is renowned for exceedingly sharp outputs. However, the output quality for the E-620 isn't all that impressive when compared to other DSLRs.
