I normally set the output to be 16 bit TIFF and created in the same directory as the source NEF. The original raw image is then unchanged and can be processed again, if required, for whatever reason.
The default sharpening is interesting. I think it corrects the softness induced by the demosaicing filter - hence the need for the camera body to be part of the module specification. If anyopne has any views on this, I would be grateful to read them.
