[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 587817, member: 13090"] If you shoot RAW your shots coming out of the camera look dull and flat because that's the nature of a raw file; you adjust pretty much everything (saturation, contrast, etc) during post processing. You can apply profiles such as Vivid, Landscape, Portrait, etc. with just a click during post processing if you choose to. If you're primarily shooting JPG, profiles allow you a lot of flexibility. When I shot JPG the Picture Control I used most often was Standard but with the Saturation setting bumped slightly and of course I always suggest JPG shooters adjust the Sharpness setting in whatever Picture Control being used from the bizarrely low default setting of 2 to either 6 or 7. As for there being an "Automatic" setting for Picture Controls, I just checked my girlfriends D5300 to be certain, and there is no such setting. You have to choose a particular setting for every adjustment in each of the individual Picture Control menus. If you're not happy with the degree of saturation in your JPG photos, try using the Vivid Picture Control. Just remember to adjust the Sharpness setting. [/QUOTE]
