Canon 20D set up

[Ron]

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

I am the new owner of a Canon 20D and would like to know how others are
setting up the camera. I am using the 18-55 kit lens. The two areas I am
confused over are the Processing Parameters and the Color space ( sRGB or
Adoby RGB ) I shoot mostly people and landscapes ( the golf course ) . Any
information will be appreciated
Thanks for your time

Ron

You could set the camera to capture in raw format and handle everything in
post processing on your computer.

Thats what I do with the 10D because it gives me more latitude for
adjustments.

In raw mode I belive that the camera processing and color space settings are
moot.

As a newbee to the 20d I would suggest using sRGB since most of what you
will do will only need that color space (aRGB is a bit more robust but could
cause more problems unless you are ready to work in that environment).

The parameter setting of 2 gives you no added contrast, saturation or
sharpness. Pretty much when the camera builds the jpeg image, it will not do
any enhancing. If you want the pictures to look a bit more like point and
shoot, use parameter 1 which raises the sharpness, contrast and saturation.
The paramter settings only work on jpeg and now raw.

Since you are shooting green grass, parameter 1 may give you some added
color without having to use post processing to get it the way you want.

Ron,

Refer to pages 56 and 57 of your camera manual.
