Do you ever use settings like these on your camera or do you prefer Photoshop, and does it really matter which method you choose?

Those settings don't matter in RAW. Mine is set to Bright if someone would want to look at the preview JPEGs

If you just have a point and shoot camera you will end up having to learn the difference between these settings because they are the only way you have any control over the camera settings. Portrait and Landscape have different depths of field, for instance.

The neutral setting is your friend if shooting RAW

Flat is even better.
>>2995648
I've heard flat/neutral helps give more accurate histogram (since it's using JPEGs not RAW either way)

You're thinking of scene modes
I just set everything to neutral/disabled. I'd rather have actual RAW data and decide later if I want to enhance anything.

I shoot raw, but I do edit with this cameras presets in Lightroom.
