New to Pentax KP - help with color settings

Thank you all for your help! I've had some really good luck with adjusting the hue, saturation, sharpness, etc. and have saved a bunch of settings to my user modes. I've also done some experimenting with bracketing, which has been helpful for learning what aperture and shutter speed to use in different situations. I've got a lot of learning to do, but so far I'm really enjoying the camera. Thanks!

New to Pentax KP - help with color settings

Hello everyone! I just joined Pentax Forums after receiving my new Pentax KP. I've used a K-30 since my sophomore year of high school, but it recently died on me and I decided to upgrade. Though I've done a lot of photography for many years, I think I'm still a n00b, since I've previously relied heavily on the K-30's multitude of Scene Modes. I mostly do landscape and wildlife photography and these modes have worked very well for me as a "snapshooter."

Since the KP doesn't have scene modes, I'd like to learn how to recreate the contrast, sharpness, and color vibrancy on my new KP. I've especially liked the Forest, Landscape, Moving Object, Sunset, and Surf & Snow settings.

I'm wondering if someone else who has made the switch from a beginner camera to the KP has any advice for how to recreate these settings on a more advanced camera. Particularly, after some experimentation, I have not been able to achieve the vibrant greens that I used to get on the Forest scene mode.

A little more information, if it helps: I have some basic knowledge of how aperture, ISO, and shutter speed work. I most often use a 18-270mm telephoto lens, but I also own an 18-35mm and a 10-17mm fisheye. I almost always shoot in JPEG, and have no experience with Lightroom - I prefer in-camera settings, since I have very little time to edit photos later.

Thank you for your help!
