"Michiel Visser" wrote in message li.nl... take the damn camera to the nearest Canon repair place and let them have a look. It almost certainly won't take "a month". My experience with repair times is different than yours and I've different (paid) shoots a week, that's why I'm reluctant to take the camera to repairs. I hope I'll share your optimism by experience in a very short time :-) If you are a professional - never have only just one camera body. Absolutely. But, have you tried simply setting the WB manually? -- John McWilliams |

Kibo informs me that "Michiel Visser" stated
that: [red cast on AWB shots] Any advice? That's a really weird problem, because the AWB is calculated in software, not hardware. If it happened to me, I'd suspect that I'd messed up one of the user settings for colour balance, or the custom WB setting. Have you tried resetting everything back to the factory settings from the main menu? If that doesn't fix your problem, you might consider re-flashing the ROM, before resorting to taking the camera in for servicing. -- W . | ,. w , "Some people are alive only because \|/ \|/ it is illegal to kill them."

Have you recently changed a light bulb in the room in which you work? There is no light bulb turned on during the photoshoots. I use Visatec 800B flash units for lighting. I've got a pretty good idea why you have the red cast. However, I don't know why it might have changed recently. Studio flash units tend to have a colour temperature of about 5500K, the same as typical daylight. However, on-camera flash units sometimes have a somewhat higher colour temperature. So, with studio flash you often get more accurate colour balance by using the daylight setting. Andrew. |
