D70 best settings for jpeg?

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

Hi,
I am very pleased with the results taken in RAW on my Nikon D70
but the photos taken in JPEG, especially the colours, don't seem to be as
they should.
Perhaps my settings are incorrect?
Any suggestions please?
Thanks in advance.

In what way do the colors not look correct?
Wrong hue? Too Light/Dark?
On Screen? Printed? Both?
Have you calibrated your Monitor?
Are you using a CRT or an LCD Display?
We really need a lot more info before we can offer any reasonable advice.

Good point - if your JPEGs are being recorded in Adobe RGB, for example,
they may look flat when displayed by an application that can't display Adobe
RGB properly and, it has to be said, most can't.
