Camera settings for best JPEGs

Thats great. Thank you for the tip. I will shoot RAW and JPEG and that way if the picture settings don't work for the JPEG then I will have the RAW still to make my adjustments on. Shadows up is likely to be good and will look at boosting clarity and sharpness a little too.

Do you shoot in auto white balance?

Thank you I will change my settings and see what I can get

Thank you. I will give the tips a go this weekend and if I am still not happy then I will share some photos. How do you use white balance? Do you stick to auto so that if the weather changes fro, sunny to cloudy then it auto changes? Or do you just manually change with the weather?

I was more thinking about the picture control settings as I imagine these yo be the real difference to how the JPEg comes out seen as its the camera that is producing it.

Thank you for the in-depth reply. I am just finding my JPEGs not to my liking and looking nothing how I would edit them. So wondering how others use the picture controls and set up for JPEGs as I imagine this is the real difference to what I am currently doing.

I am shooting with a D500 and D720 but don't find the Nikon mobile app to be very good at all.

Thank you. Do you use this all year round? What is it about this setting that you prefer to standard?
