I am trying to achieve the best EVO camera settings possible, please post your best settings here.

Sorry if this has been posted already, I couldn't find it.

I use Vignette, it has like 30+ presets. In normal mode, it makes our bad camera not suck.

I have Camera360 Ultimate installed, but rarely use it. I thought about trying Vignette, but haven't thrown the switch yet. I hope GB will give us HDR (I hate to say this part) like the iPhone. Until that day (IMO) these are the best settings for my usage. Let me know if they work for you.

Brightness +1
Contrast +1
Saturation 0
Sharpness 0
White balance AUTO
ISO AUTO
Resolution 8M
Widescreen (off)
Quality High
Metering Mode Average

I have read that the EVOs camera has the ability, but it's handicapped by the software.
