Nice find. I had played with the quality setting previously, but hadn't managed to make it do anything either. Your trick of using jpegenc is definitely a stroke of genius

Not sure if it's related, but when I first implemented the new config, the image viewer app was incredibly slow and needed to refresh every picture's thumbnail before it became usable again.. it's fine now though, so maybe that's no big deal.

I'll see if I can find some time and a stable setup tomorrow for shooting some IT8 targets to see if I can detect any tangible differences between this and default.. I suspect differences are going to be minimal at best in most cases, but hey -- if we can't have RAW, I'd still rather have my JPEGs as uncompressed as possible.
