Photography Question

Orange People


My Canon Powershot Pro 1 takes beautiful outdoor pictures, and the Canon i9900 printer prints equally well. But since I've started shooting inside, I've found that my photos are orange. I'm even using studio lighting and muslim backgrounds. What do I need to do to improve the quality of my studio photos? Thanks!

  It sounds like the white balance setting is off. Set it for either auto or incandescent for indoor use.

  Pete is right. You need to change your white balance when you go indoors.

  Canon's high-end digital cameras seem to have a problem with auto white balance under incandescent light; yours sounds like an extreme case, but the general advice is not to rely on AWB but set the white balance for tungsten yourself.

  Whi5te balnce is very important. Try using auto when you're not sure even with your flash. It shopuld give you good results.
