[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 229087, member: 12496"] The cameras (including D3200) have a Monitor Brightness setting (in the Setup menu). Most are too bright, and should be turned down a little. This is true of most desktop monitors too, a little too bright by default (unless calibrated). It should look better turned down a bit. You can adjust the LCDs to match (printer is something else, depends on printer and inks and esp paper). Colors... which is White Balance, is a general issue. It is rarely ever exactly correct. When you know it is bright sunshine, you might set Daylight WB instead of Auto. Same with Incandescent, you might set Incandescent WB instead of Auto. But the ambient color of the light still varies a bit, and the trick we learn is how to better deal with White Balance. It is rarely exactly correct. Here is one general approach [URL="http://www.scantips.com/lights/flashbasics1f.html"]White Balance Correction, with or without Raw[/URL] [/QUOTE]
