SOOC
Dec 11, 2022 05:47:40 #
When I set my D5100 to jpeg, Neutral, it just takes a photo without adjusting color or contrast, if I leave all other adjustments alone. I put the SD card in my computer and copy/paste the image into my folder for that month. What could be more "SOOC" than that? Now, if I set the same camera to "Standard", it slightly bumps up the contrast and color saturation, but does not exaggerate anything very much. If I put the image it takes into the folder on my computer the same way I did with the "Neutral" file, I still have an SOOC image that just looks a little "snappier", because I did nothing to modify the image AFTER it was taken and removed from the camera.

The point is even at neutral your D5100 is producing a JPEG that is processed by the camera to what the programmer thinks is what you might want. SOOC is still heavily processed behind the scenes and what you see is what some engineer likes or is told you like.
Every maker has a different formula for the look they want, some are bold some are less so but ALL are different and heavily processed.
That is just the way digital is to get it so you can see it rather than just some code.

It is my understanding that a JPEG image with no post processing is a SOOC.

It's been ages (and I'm too lazy to even think about looking it up) is that FP4? I wonder how many youngins would even know sheet film what those notches were/are for and how it was processed. Not to mention 2 sheets per holder unless you had one of those snazzy Graphmatic film holders so you could have a "six shooter."

Consider that with some cameras, you can set them to capture both the RAW file and JPEG file at the same time. Cull files later.

Can one post SOOC if only shot in raw?
I have to convert to JPEG which involves some modification.
Also does a JPEG SOOC have various preset processes or styles applied by the camera that otherwise would be done in post?
In other words what is SOOC?

I believe most all of us are aware of that.

My definition also - Whatever comes OUT of the camera, no matter what may be done to it while IN the camera.

Why is it presented as a badge of honor or superiority to say SOOC?
Just show the photo and be done with it unless you did some interesting PP and want to share and enlighten what was done.

SOOC is just what it says: Straight Out Of Camera. It does not, in any way whatsoever, mean unprocessed, even though there are many who use it in that fashion apparently to prove (to themselves mostly) that they are superior photographers. Any image coming out of a camera, film or digital, is processed.

SOOC is fine for me because I really don't do much in term of editing but it would be a pain for me. Why? Because if I want to do SOOC I would have to take a shot. Put the pic on my computer see what's wrong. Then adjust the camera picture settings, color temp, sharpening level, etc.. and take another shot and the repeat the cycle until I am happy with the result while my subjects would be gone.

Looks like an image of unprocessed film.

The images, jpgs, that I import from my memory cards in my Nikon Z50 and D7100 to PSE, are what I believe to be SOOC's.
If and when I edit the copy layer which I will later file and/or export as jpg , or print, is a copy. The original jpeg remains or is used again as a SOOC.

I get the impression that people who want to point out that “my” image is SOOC think they are better photographers than those that say they “need” to process their image in post. I fail to understand the boast. I think I am grumpy this morning.
