A1 M2 and Lightroom - poor colours, underexposed, high contrast

[V Sellars]

I saw a thread here from last year, but can't find it.

The image I see in the view finder has good colour, exposure, and contrast. The RAW photos also look good. When I import them to Lightroom, they are flat, significantly underexposed, and dark shadows. So much so, that I can't always get that back in processing.

I have already made sure to turn off auto HDR and DRO.

Does anyone have experience with this, and any tips or tricks? I saw that some people changed their version of Lightroom to 14.1, but that was some time ago.

When you say that the RAW photos look good - what are you viewing them with? If on the camera then you are viewing a JPEG, not a RAW. How have you got Lightroom set up? Maybe if you could share one of your RAW files with us we could have a look at it.
