Digital Nikon users [View all]

I have a Nikon D5200. It seems to me that the standard exposure settings in Auto or no flash mode, with the fine jpeg setting, seem to be a little flat, low contrast. Being an old transparency guy, I am wondering if that can be changed in the camera settings. I found nothing in the manual. Is there a posibility that making an ajustment to 1/3 - 1/2 under exposure would do the trick?

As an old transparnecy guy, I never did a lot of post camera work and don't like to do a lot of post camera work on images. I would rather spend more time taking the pictures than processing images later.

Any ideas would be welcomed.
