Q.No.2720: Photographs show a color cast.
Ans ¥ If you are using a white-balance setting other than PRE (preset white balance), try fine-tuning white balance using manual white-balance adjustment.
¥ If white balance is set to Auto under incandescent or fluorescent lighting, in shade or direct sunlight, under overcast skies, or when using a Nikon Speedlight, choose the appropriate white balance option (Incandescent, Fluorescent, Shade, Direct Sunlight, Cloudy, or Flash).
¥ If you press the shutter-release button all the way down without stopping halfway to focus the camera, the auto white-balance function will not be able to set white balance correctly for the first frame.
Always press the shutter-release button halfway before shooting.
¥ Flicker may occur under incandescent lighting.
If the local power utility supplies alternating current at 60KHz, choose a shutter speed slower than 1/60 s.
Choose a shutter speed slower than 1/50 s if the local utility supplies current at 50 KHz.
¥ Try using preset white balance (note that if extreme under- or over-exposure occurs when setting preset white balance, appropriate white balance will not be achieved. When using a white object to measure a value for preset white balance, adjust exposure settings so that the object would be photographed as gray).
