had a chance to play ard with the S3pro recently. a little curious abt the colour settings. hope the S3 users can help me out? :embrass:
i was doing some test pics using the F1 and F2 film modes. according to the literature i read online, F1 is suppose to simulate Astia film (portraits) while F2 is Velvia (landscapes). but, when i took some test pics, i found dat the F1 setting for portraits produces jpgs which are a little muted in colours (all things being equalled and i got the exposure right). i had to tweak the colour sat in PS to get the colours a little brighter for printing.
then i tried out Std film simulation, with Std colour and Std tone, and then switched to High/High/Hard settings. the Std settings is a little better than F1, High settings is a little too saturated for my tastes. still, nothing much to shout abt IMO, esp since fuji sensors are reputed for their punchy jpgs.
am i doing something wrong with the settings, or is this normal? :dunno:
(no... i dun mean to, nor wish to incite some flamewar, even tho i am a nikon user. this is an honest question.)
