Got the blues

[sarah123]

I have a konica digital revio camera. For the past few months, whenever I take a photo using natural light the whole thing comes out various shades of light blue and not particularly good picture quality. There is no such problem when using indoor lights or at night time. Has anyone had this problem and what can you suggest to fix it?

It could be light getting in through the veiwfinder. On certain cameras it is possible to blank off the eyepiece. This would be particularly noticable in both strong and weak light when using tripod or not actually putting your eye against the veiwfinder when taking the photo.

Alternatively, there may be a way of adjusting the "white balance" for extreme exposures. This often consists of pointing the camera at a known white surface so that it fills the frame and pressing a button so the camera can adjust to the lighting conditions.

Thanks hippy, I will try the eyepiece idea.
