[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 471676, member: 12496"] Scott is correct, the purpose of those scene modes is to provide something without your having to have any control over the image... they are auto everything. However in truth, many users select Auto ISO and Auto White balance and almost Auto everything anyway. But if they don't select all Auto, the Auto modes will. But several of those scene modes are not available in Raw, the camera will use a JPG file instead (if selected). See page 55 of the D3300 [B]Reference[/B] manual (more complete than the [B]User[/B] manual). Reference manual is available at [URL="http://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/products/21/D3300.html"]Nikon | Download center | D3300[/URL] Regarding Raw, other than exposure (ISO, shutter speed and f/stop), camera settings are ignored, not used, in the raw file. The camera settings are used in an JPG file that is embedded in the raw file, and which is what shows on the rear LCD (because LCD cannot show raw data), and in the histogram, and the Exif data, and raw software (Nikon software, not Adobe) might apply the settings from Exif into the raw image later, but the camera settings (like white balance, contrast, color profiles, etc) do not affect the raw file data. Repeating, the white balance and such that you may select shows on the rear LCD, so you might think that you got it, but it is NOT in the raw file data. Raw is raw. The idea of raw is to make those settings later in the raw software, after we can actually see the image, and can see what it needs, and can make choices to see what comes out best. The idea of raw is to NOT have to guess at it in advance. [/QUOTE]
