Folks -
I bought an E-500 a year ago and now my standard exposure setting is causing the pictures to have a blue cast to them. All of the specific modes are fine. Any thoughts?
Interesting! This is just a
Interesting! This is just a guess, but have you changed anything about the way you light photos? For example, are you using a flash more?
And here's an every crazier question: Have you changed the format you shoot in? Changed from JPEG to RAW, for example?
Just gathering information...

Blue cast
No significant changes that I know of. It happens whether I use a flash or not, indoors or out, but only on the auto setting. I believe that I have erroneously changed a white balence setting, but have found no fix for it. When I change formats, the exposure remains the same as far as the blue cast, so I'm thinking that is not is. My next try will be to reset to defaults, but that could change things that I have dialed into.
Thanks for your response.
Blue Cast
After much ado about blue, I figured out that my Auto white balence setting was set incorrectly. I changed to the default and it worked great! I don;t know how it got changed, but obviously I messed with something!
BTW, Photoshop's auto color fixes the blue cast perfectly! Thanks -
