I am using the latest mod which has been working well, in which situations would a person want to use lower sharpness settings?

 

[kamkar]

well lower sharpness are not like drunk and fuzzy looking sharpness, some people actually seem to prefer footage with a higher level of sharpness and contrast.
Myself after have been using a luksa dashcam for a year or so ( Korean brand famous for sharp / contrast low bitrate footage ) Well then getting a camera with more natural footage, for a while it was strange as i was so used to looking at the lukas footage.
But now i have adjusted and actually prefer the more relaxed / natural looking footage.
But many brands that dont really do much in the way of tuning their products IQ have a sharper / contrasty looking footage as that's what is in the default firmwares from the SOC maker and they cant be bothered with changing this.

Too high sharpness and contrast can actually make the camera perform less good in regard to resolving small details.
