Hi, first of all, I own Sony Cameras for years now and I never touched the Photo Profiles section. Film simulations are a great project for enabling a jpg image workflow without dabbling around with raw files (something I grew so tired in the last couple of years ... ).
What I am missing a bit, is the (personal) workflow to keep track of the profiles you are having configured on your camera and what profiles you were actually using out in the field.
Taking the pdf with you is quite impractical. Hence the question to @veresdenialex: Do you intend to publish your profiles in an alternative format? It would be nice to have profiles available as an XLS/CSV spreadsheet or for the more technically inclined to have them as JSON files. For my own purposes, I copied over some of the profiles into a JSON, and I am creating QR Codes using a small python program to be used for printout (on a sheet containing a qr code for each profile). That way I can quickly lookup, under which profiles I did save some of the presets on my camera I can selectively call up all params on my smartphone so I am able to copy them over to my Sony cam ... Find a screenshot with some bogus profile values: Input is a json file (1), the program will out put the generation (2), and as a result you'll get a qr code containing profile information, that you can manually copy over to your sony camera. If the fields "preset" / "preset save" are entered, if the profile is saved for a picture profile (PP1-PP10) and saved preset (MR1-MR6) .
Here's a sample with some bogus entries (and you can even try the QR Code where the information is stored as txt input):
Thanks for reply! Right now I try to figure out the best options.
If you have a max of 6 Profiles, you're set with the MR option on the camera. and all you need to do is write them up somewhere.
In case you want to change them, you'd need the value set to enter into the camera. I tried setting up all profile values in an xls table ... so it would result in 2 sheets of paper or so ... (see a screenshot here with blurred values ). This would do the same job, but you could up entering values from different values by chance. Hence the trick with the qr codes => You'd get the values for exact one profile and readability on Smart Phone is much better (so it's sorta an ergonomics feature)
