Quality of samsung nx1000 photos smart auto mode?

[Rain]

I purchased the samsung nx1000 and I used the smart auto mode. Took a picture, it looks amazing on the 3 inch LCD screen but once i upload it to facebook, it doesnt look stunning anymore it's like the photo is so dull the colors are not striking at all compared to when i view it on the camera itself so I feel like i've been cheated. Is it only the smart auto mode? or its better with other modes such as Manual? Does anyone think Nikon P500 can take much more decent photos than this?

make sure your camera is set to sRGB instead of adobe RGB as browsers dont support adobe rgb colours. you can read about it here: http://www.petapixel.com/2009/09/17/why-...-use-srgb/

1) Why are you asking US if other modes look better? Why not simply try it out?
2) I detest Auto modes..... I don't like letting a tiny little box make decisions for me that I seem to be much better at making
3) You don't tell us what the situation is. In bright sunlight, a little camera on Auto mode usually does a reasonable job. In difficult lighting situations they simply can't keep up and they fail miserably.
4) Facebook destroys even GOOD photos, let alone so-so ones.
5) On the little LCD screens, EVERYTHING looks good. You can never tell until you look at them on the computer.
6) Learning about photography gives you the skills to avoid or at least improve problems with your gear.
