Take a look - is this a saturation issue?

Pretty sure I'm using all stock settings and I noticed on my videos of the trees some look highlighter neon green and the background trees look normal. What should I adjust? The trees and grass are NOT highlighter yellow!!!

Try switching to Art or D-Cinelike setting. I found mine to be oversaturated out of the box.

The image is overexposed in the upper photo. The flat lighting loses detail in the trees. I would come down at least .5 ev, and/or go to a cooler color temp as this is a bit too yellow looking. Make sure your sharpness is set to 0 or +1, not the default -1, which wrecks tree detail in many situations.

Was this a situation of mixed lighting, perhaps with sun on the foreground? The foliage appears too warm, even though the sky is a correct shade of gray. This is why color adjustment afterward is so important - no single camera setting will work for all situations, though there are those who will never stop trying.

Just for fun I color corrected your image in Photoshop. I deepened the shadows and removed a little of the yellow.

I have been reading how the optimal sharpness is +1. Think I'll give that a try. My thing is I want to minimize post production.

Right - just pick settings that look OK, which usually means auto settings. I do find myself using the EV wheel to keep from blowing out the sky, while keeping ground detail from getting to dark. Auto white balance, or cloudy, is a good setting too if you want to set and forget. If later you want to get fancy, set white balance manually before you take off.

Need some color grading here. Despite what all those videos tells you... It is the easiest thing just to fly with auto settings. If you don't understand the process of colorcorrecting in detail... This is how it ends up. But you salvage your footage in most programs
