lumix fz 200 - problem

Hi
My name is Elisha (male)
Recently I purchased Lumix Fz 200. It's a good camera but I have a problem:
Some of the pictures result with a very high blue dominance (they look OK in the viewer but when I look at them on the computer they are blue-ish . I have tried to get help from a local Panasonic camera service but the only reply was "Change the white balance" - which is odd .
Do you have any idea ? Is it a common problem of this camera ?
Thanks
Elisha

It is not odd. Changing the white balance is indeed the answer to your question. Have you tried it?

Perhaps when you download the photographs the program changes them...

What program do you use to look at your photos on your computer?

Elisha,

The color in the camera might be fine. If you send one jpg image to be printed at a decent shop, does it come out bluish? A common issue is that the camera is fine, but the monitor is not! The monitor might display a bluish image because it simply has a poorly set calibration.

Look at your images on other computers, for example in a large camera store where they do printing.

An easy matter would be to post an uncorrected image here for us to examine. You do that by uploading your image to an online hosting website, such as Flickr and then putting the internet URL address, for example, something that looks generically like, http://wwwXYZ.com/elisha'simage_1.jpg between the syntax

.

The picture will then appear in your post here.

alternatively, simply mail the image to me. I'll send you my email!

I have one and like it a lot.

Maybe not.

• What exposure mode (P., etc.) do you typically use with the camera?

• What white balance setting to you use so far on the camera?

• What kind of lighting situation applies to the shots you have trouble with?

Best regards,
