It all depends upon the country you’re
visiting. If you’re visiting a land filled
with bright colors (Cuba or South
America, for example), use the same
settings as “Children and Birthday
Parties” above. If you’re in parts of old
Europe or the Middle East (where the
muted colors of Agfa film used to reign)
then try something more subdued:
 Image Style: Neutral
 Saturation: -1
 Contrast: -1
 Sharpness: 0 (“Standard”)
Of course these settings only serve to
reinforce a pre-conceived stereotype.
Sometimes it’s best to put your camera
away for awhile, look with your eyes,
absorb the mood, and then choose
settings that convey that mood.
All settings at minimum value (except
Image Style, which should be either
“Clear” or “Sunset” (for interesting
effect)  )
