    Hello everyone,
    which settings do you advice to disable on Canon cameras that are already going to do post-production right away?

    for astrophotography, I have already disabled some:

    1)high ISO sensitivity noise reduction;

    2)long exposure noise reduction;

    3)automatic correction of brightness and contrast;

    now I'm wondering if I should also disable:

    4)automatic light optimization;

    5)peripheral illumination correction;

    In astrophotography, I will make all the various calibration files so it's okay to disable everything.

    but I wonder how points 3 and 4 also affect the ordinary photos that are taken? that is, how do they correct the light based on the shutter speed, aperture and ISO settings that we have set in manual mode? or how do they affect in AV/TV mode?

    ditto for peripheral correction: chatgpt.com/share/678790bd-df48-800b-a82c-28f51f06c05c

    you confirm?

    Are you shooting JPG?

    If your shooting RAW none of this really is an issue as the settings can be adjusted in post prod.

    no, i use .CR2 file (RAW).
    That one, if i'm not wrong is the one where the camera take two photos one after the other, the second one without letting the light pass through

    You would do better to ask this question in a dedicated Astro photography forum as most astro software has this dark frame ability built in and users there would probably be better informed.
