[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 126279, member: 13090"] When I said "JPG = Fine" in my previous post, that meant .jpg format, Fine resolution was selected in the D5100 menu: Shooting Menu, Image Quality, [B]JPEG Fine[/B]. No, I meant Saturation, as in the "Saturation" setting in the D5100 menu: Shooting Menu, Set Picture Control, Standard (or Neutral or Vivid or whatever), [B]Saturation[/B] There is no significant difference in exposure in the above shots. Again, those were all shot at the same f-stop, same shutter speed, same conditions only a few seconds apart. Now, here's the interesting part. I just did same test but this time all shots were taken in[B] RAW FORMAT[/B]. Those RAW files were then re-sized and converted to JPG -- with NO POST PROCESSING -- and posted here since the up-loader does not support RAW/.NEF files. Surprisingly the Saturation setting DOES affect the image [I]even when shooting RAW[/I]. I urge you to try this yourself. You can clearly see the difference in the RAW photos, I just can't upload them without converting them. All of seven these photos were shot at f5.6 at 1/45 using ISO 100 on a Nikon 18-105mm zoom set at 48mm. The ONLY difference between all of these shots is the [B]Saturation[/B] level was changed in the menu by ONE click for each shot. Hovering your cursor on the thumbnail will show you the Saturation setting used: [ATTACH=CONFIG]30139._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]30140._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]30141._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]30142._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]30143._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]30144._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]30145._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
