I noticed that many bare metal items that I photograph with my Fuji
digital camera, look rustier on photos than they do in "real life". I
would like to correct it so that the photos show exactly as much rust
as would be seen by a naked eye. Any thoughts on this? Should Ichange
lighting, or something else? Thanks

Along with the other suggestions try changing the white balance. I
have a Pentax camera and was able to get better pictures by setting
the white balance manually. But don't ask me what to set your white
balance with. I just used various backgrounds in my shop until the
pictures looked correct with the shop lighting. The manual says to
point the camera at a white sheet of paper to set the white balance
but I ended up using a light grey wall to get the pictures to look
right.
