[QUOTE="AperturePriority, post: 51280, member: 9275"] Hi VT, It's safe to shoot with RAW and manipulate your pictures later. But you can also shoot with jpeg and have great result, if you understand about "red and yellow channel blown out" in digital image world. It's a known issue for digital but not for film images. To do so, when taking red, orange, or yellow flowers; try to set camera this way: 1/ Push back WB under 5000K for sunlight source. I use to choose at 4400-4700K for outdoor red or yellow flower photos on sunny days. 2/ Negative EV compensations as Obir said. Then watch out for the red channel in Histogram to see if it is still over-exposured. 3/ Set picture control to Normal or Standard option, instead of Vivid option. Hope this helps. Tu. [/QUOTE]
