Picture Adjustment?? The Panasonic FZ5 has the following 'Picture Adjustment' settings: Standard, Natural and Vivid. Very little information is given about these settings in the user manual, except that 'Natural' makes the picture look 'softer' What does this mean? Which is the 'recommended' or most common setting for day-to day use?

The recommended setting is the one you like best. Most digital cameras have a filter layer over the sensor called "low pass filter" or "anti-alias filter". Its purpose is to counteract digital artifacts such as moire, "stairstep" diagonals, and the like. In doing so, it tends to lessen the sharpness, contrast, and color saturation of the image. The camera then does its own processing of the image to adjust those attributes. The camera has 3 levels of adjustment. Natural does very little. Choose this if you prefer to do your own post-processing with powerful editing software on a computer, or if you like the less sharp, less contrasty look. Standard applies a mid-level amount of sharpening/contrast/saturation adjustment. Vivid is does more aggressive processing - generally good for making small prints or displaying on the web, but may look unnatural if the image is displayed very large.
