I wish to set up the bracketing option. I take pictures of gardens and plants. which option should I select to be of most use ie hue, saturation,etc and what quantity would be appropriate? I assume this option is not available when the RAW+ is selected, I guess all the adjustments could be made with the image editor?

Personally, I shoot RAW and tweak all that stuff in Lightroom and so all those extended bracketing things are pretty much irrelevant provided you haven't blown any of the highlights. With most flower photos I find myself upping saturation etc. and so if you were to do this in camera I would go for something like 0, +1 and +2.

Cheers, Kris.

Thanks. I thought likewise, if using RAW, than bracketing is somewhat redundant, as all the adjustments can be done later. Wanted to confirm my idea, as I am pretty new to Pentax DSLR. I am following a gardens competition judge next weekend, weather permitting, to take pics of the participating gardens. I will take both JPEG and RAW images. as I will not have much time to set up and wait for the light/sun position to change. I will try and go back at a later date to take proper pics, to suit my fancy..
