[QUOTE="Gizmo, post: 428526, member: 10442"] Hi Lefty. Its all down to White Balance. The camera tries to correct the image colour balance to make white components of the image look white under different conditions. However this usually requires manual calibration or post editing compensation as the camera algorithm for picking a white reference in the image is seldom accurate. Best results are with a flash but that wont work for you in macro mode... Use a consistent background with a white spot to use as a reference. Look in the camera's settings for white balance options. Play with settings and see if you can get the white reference spot to look white consistently. If in doubt GOOGLE white balance. [/QUOTE]
