How many hogs shoot in "vivid mode" most of the time? If so why or why not? There are there few occasions when I ever turn mine off..........Thanks for your time.

I don't even know what you mean by "vivid mode"? !

I shoot raw so camera control is pretty much moot. Having said that, I do leave my D7000 set to vivid and I do occasionally set my second sd card to jpeg if I think I'll be shooting something that I'll need right away. Vivid seems to give better color saturation for jpegs.

My camera is always set about 1/3 into vivid. Just seems help with the "snap" we're looking for.

Never. I prefer to apply color corrections and modifications in post processing, where I have more control.

Interesting, I thought I was in a minority.

With my DSLR I usually just shoot RAW.
But with my compact P&S camera (which only exports JPEG), I do shoot in vivid mode sometimes. Not all the time, because vivid mode has a greater tendency than normal mode to over-saturate and blow out colors to the extent that it can't be fixed later in editing. With a little experience, you will be able to recognize situations when vivid mode is a bit too much for the scene you are photographing and may cause irreversible saturation problems within the image. Take the time to experiment with the different modes under various lighting and color conditions and carefully analyze the results. Then you will know when to select vivid and when not to select vivid!

once in a blue moon I'll put on plus 1 if I'm shooting jpeg . but when im in raw
never . if you have it to high in j peg . it some time is to much and it can be a chore to get it out . that's why I would sooner put it in when your checking
your pic in your photo program . and I don't think you can get it to work in camera when your raw . that's what PP is for .

From 2008 to 2013, when I shot jpg with Nikon DSLRs, I always stuck with standard, it seems more natural.

as far as I'm concerned it looks cartoonish if your heavy handed with it
Just tune in Ken Rockwell , you will see what I mean his pictures are so
saturated and contraste that there hard to even look at . there so Un natural in the state he makes them . way to heavy . but then again he never sets fstops shutter speed . he is in total auto all the time . he uses
nikon so he is always in P which means his camera picks speed
fstop iso is auto , whit balance , all auto and he admits it . he says P is for
pro's

that's right and in PP you will add or back off so it's best to shoot natural , standard you have more control later ,

My biggist problem with RAW is I don't care to PP every pic I take? Figure if I'm taken the pic it should not need a lot of manipulation. I try to deal with basic inhanchments. IMHO screw with a pic to much and it's not yours anymore
