Obviously, it means straight out of the camera. Take the picture, upload it to a computer, and there it is - straight out of the camera. No mystery. It doesn't matter what the camera does to it. If the camera did no processing, you'd have nothing but thousands of 1s and 0s.
If the camera
did pre-processing, you'd still have nothing but 1s and 0s.

Therein is, I believe, the OP's point. It is nonsensical to differentiate between in-camera adjustments (now that there are so many available) and what the photographer does in pp.

My humble 15+ page input, to help Linda's prediction come true....hehe, here goes.
Sooc means not processed outside of camera and it is ready for use, upload,printing etc...If you make settings that alters the photo in camera, it's letting the camera make decisions by internal presets, so to speak.....I would rather make my own adjustments while seeing the results immediately..but then that requires FULL MANUAL on camera, which some don't do.

Is letting some engineer in Japan determine how my image is supposed to look any more purist than me deciding how I want it to look?

It means the camera manufacturer got to determine the colors, contrast, brightness, sharpness, and saturation of the image you think you created all by yourself.

Really? Sorry, this thread will do nothing to improve my knowledge and skill level. I will leave it to the uninformed to continue this tripe.
I think you should always do as much as possible in the camera before you take the photo and use limited PP only when necessary. I almost never use PP, but that is just me.

True, given that the raw data is not really an image until processed. Yet, there are certainly differences between making "adjustments" -- whether in-camera or by post-processing software -- that simply re-create what was actually seen (yes, it is subjective),
versus introducing unrealistic exaggeration of hue/saturation/sharpening, etc.,
versus replacing skies, removing objects/people, plopping in sun rays or full moons, etc.

Set a menu item on the camera, move a slider in your editor of choice. The end result is the same in both cases, which is, hopefully, a better photograph.

Interesting.
I can set some processing sliders in the camera, different than the default settings.
