Hi Everyone: I have lots of occasions to take simple head shots with my Nikon D7500. I only use jpeg. I don't want to post process. I use a single on camera flash. After playing around with all the camera's settings in picture control and pre set portrait modes, I can't seem to get what I'm looking for, no red faces and some color saturation on the clothing. Any setting suggestions? I realize that nothing I'm saying will get me great professional looking shots. Just want to get fairly good shots in a hurry. I'm a chaplain in a Florida prison taking pictures of inmates for their families and can't bring in lots of equipment. We are talking 200-400 head shots every three weeks in several prisons. Thanks Bob

With limited knowledge the best photos as you describe use the P (Professional) setting. The manufacturer has taken thousands of photos and analyzed them and then program the camera to do the best possible in that mode with no PP or multiple flashes.
This photo was taken in Auto (P) with on camera flash. I used a 10D and did crop the photo and that is about it. This is about as good as it gets without multiple flashes and PP.
