Thanks for confirming, Earl. It appears that if one is going to hold the
highlights with this camera, the greens in particular are apt to be very
saturated in a high contrast situations. I've experimented with setting
saturation in the camera to -1 all of the time, but it's not pleasing for
"normal" shots. I've had better luck just selectively reducing saturation
of green in post-processing.
Interestingly, the problem is less significant in 8-bit mode shots. The
raw, 16-bit captures are worse -- in this one respect.
Thanks again for looking.
