(The cyan to blue shift is very common among the digital cameras we test we think it's a deliberate choice by camera engineers to produce better-looking sky colors.) With an average 'delta-C' color error of 4.81 after correction for saturation, overall hue accuracy was better than average. The Nikon D3200 did shift cyan toward blue, red toward orange, and light green toward yellow, but shifts were relatively minor. Oversaturation is most problematic is on Caucasian skin tones, as it's veryД®asy for these 'memory colors' to be seen as too bright, too pink,

The Nikon D3200's Caucasian skin tones looked just about right when using manual white balance in simulated daylight.

Like their color a bit brighter than life. Most consumerДigital cameras produce color that's more highly saturated (more intense) The average for consumer SLRs is closer to 10% oversaturated, so some may find the D3200's colors a little flat, however the fine-grained saturation adjustment (see below) makes it easy to customize color to match your personal preference.

Overall saturation levels are quite accurate, and remain fairly stable as ISOВ climbs.В Mean saturation is 105.6% or only 5.6% oversaturated. Reds are also pushed a bit, but not as much as by most cameras. The Nikon D3200 pushes dark greens and blues by a moderate amount, but slightly undersaturates bright yellow, light green, and some cyans.

Hue changes as you travel around the center. More saturated colors are located toward the periphery of the graph. In the diagram above, the squares show the original color, and the circles show the color that the camera captured.
