[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 257305, member: 13090"] Your shot of the Taj is slightly underexposed because you were shooting a pretty bright subject against a slightly darker background. Your camera's meter tried to balance this out, but it's not perfect and you got a slight under exposure. Using your Exposure Compensation button (the "+/-" button right behind the shutter release button) could have been used here to correct the exposure in-camera as well. As long as you're shooting in JPG you can adjust your settings in your menu like I explained in my previous post; upping the Saturation and Sharpness or simply using a different setting like "Vivid" will really get your colors brighter and give your shots more "pop". At the very minimum, up the Sharpening setting to +7; that's probably the single best adjustment you can make on your camera if you're going to be shooting JPG, and it sounds like you are, at least for now. My girlfriend shoots with a D3200 and I know from working with her it's an amazing little camera, a real wolf in sheep's clothing, IMO; and it's definitely capable of taking amazing JPG's if you're willing to work with the camera's internal settings a bit.
