The filters that you put in front<br />of the camera modifies how the camera sees the external world. The<br />processing setting inside the camera modifies how YOU see what the camera<br />has seen. By going to RAW mode, you are asking the camera to be dumb and not<br />try to use it's intelligence to make the picture look good in your eyes<br />(because you think you can do a better job using s/w tools). It has got<br />nothing to do with using polarizer.<br /><br />For example, using a circular polarizer, you can cut down reflections while<br />shooting through a glass. If you do not use a circular polarizer, it will be<br />very difficult, if not impossible, to remove the reflections on the glass.</span></blockquote><span class="q" id="q_1067a2da6bdfd3b8_1"></span>Indiangeeknoreply@blogger.com
