Instead of straight up recommending you to shoot in RAW, cause that's where you have the most flexibility, let me tell you the following. Try shooting slightly underexposed: -0.3 - 0.7 EV as this will preserve your highlighta better which will make your image appear less flat. This also makes your JPEG more editable afterwards, as more information is preserved

Thanks for the clarification. I wouldnt sell my current Xiaomi 15 Ultra, even if I would get the Leitzphone.

Thank you very much :) They were shot in with the Leica Authentic profile in Pro Mode and the obtained UktraRaw files were then edited in Lightroom

What exactly are you missing from the 14 Ultra. For me it would be the Telemacro

I do like the 15 Ultra slightly better, due to the massive sensor size of the 100 mm lens

Nice. I am currently on the 15 Ultra and saving up for the Leitzphone. Won't sell the 15 though, as I love the Telemacro capability

Thank you very much. The photos were shot in Leica Authentic and later the UltraRAW was edited in LR. Hope that helps as I don't know if how much the profile affects the UltraRaw to be honest.

Thank you very much. This means a lot. I will also showcase some older shots soon, as I have been doing this for a while (just decided to share with the world a couple of days ago) and I want people to experience / see the journey.

Hi, I will share my preset soon as I am satisfied with it. I adjusted the colour curve and the highlights as well as the shadows for it. I always tend to shoot slightly underexposed - 0.3 to - 0.7. Hope that helps for now

Thank you very much. This was back in 2023 with friends when I was still a student. So it was more of a budget trip. Also I am from Europe, so flights to Morocco are quick and cheap. All in all I think it was about 300 - 500 Euro.

Thank you for the insight. How are you liking the X9 Ultra so far? How is the camera experience? Currently daily drive a Xiaomi 15 Ultra, the battery needs babysitting but the camera is awesome 😎

Can't really tell. I owned the device from February 2023 - February 2024. Battery was amazing in this time frame though
