I have a D5200 and was wondering if it is possible to "change the temperature" of your snapshots? What I am thinking is how to simulate a result you might have gotten with Kodachrome as opposed to say Ectochrome or Fugi Film etc. All the old films had their own individual color cast. Cool as opposed to warm and so forth. Are there internal setting or is this driven by your particular sensor?

That is very interesting. I wanted to be able to set the camera for the tonal quality I like, but being ablel to get there in post processing is great. I had a point and shot camera once that gave me those rich colors I love and I have had others that seemed to go toward the cool side. Now that I have a camera I can adjust I was hoping someone could point me to the location in lthe menue I need to reset if at all possible.

Are you talking about white balance? You can definitely adjust that in camera--just find white balance in your menu and you can warm it up or cool it down to your heart's content.

If you shoot in raw, you can change the color temperature and tint (white balance) after the fact. Find some settings that work for the lighting you're in and then you'll get the desired effect. There are also lots of post-processing converters that specifically simulate film.

White balance is one of the differences, which of course needs to be learned, when moving from analog to digital. Film has the white balance "baked in" to the film. Hence, outdor, indoor, etc., films. With the advent of digital, it was something (white balance) to be played with to one's contentment.
Are youa JPG or NEF shooter?
You can move the white balance around before the fact for a JPG (in camera) and before or after the fact with a RAW file. Unless there are requirements for image delivery immediately after the shoot, i.e., a sportsphotographer, I see no reason to shoot JPG.
As others have said there are a myriad of third party software emulation packages that can get close to the looks you wish. IMHO the best are VSCO with DxO, Alienskins and a coule of others that are escaping me at the moment. If you choose one of the third party softwater filter packages, I believe it is important that the names of the film emulation are used in the filter names. However, than may just be me. Topaz Labs happens to be one package that comes to mind that does not use the nake of the film emulation in the filter name and it drives me nuts.

I'm wanting to get comfortable with NEF and get good at using it as my primary way of shooting. I had just assumed that "white Balance" was just for adjusting the tungsten or florescent effects captured in the camera. I have had several point and shoot cameras and they all had their own color properites (warm or cool) so that is why I thought it might be a manufacturer driven preferance. Thanks for the clarification.
By the way, I understand there is a new updated jpeg format out that comes close to NEF is that true?
