I just got it for Christmas, and it makes everyone (especially porcelin skinned me) look like a ghost! Is there a special setting to put it on so that everyone's not so... haunted?!

Try turning the flash off.
Also, make sure (if you have this setting) to turn the night settin off because it has a bright flash. Instead us the normal, or auto setting.
Keep in mind though, that cameras always wash people out.
PS ~ If your taking pics for fun or Myspace or whatever, try wearing blush. It will add color to your pale skin!
Hope I helped!

Would help to know the make/model of the camera...... some have settings to adjust white balance........ others don't......... try shutting off the flash / fiddling with different settings for the flash (if available) / try taking the shot from a bit further back.

It depends on the camera you have.. you may have the option to change it to a different kind of flash so that it isn't so bright. Also, check the exposure settings, that may help.

1) move further from your subject if you are using your flash
2) use the "general" camera setting (not shutter or aperature priority) until you learn more about how to use the camera.
3) check the shutter speed and the brightness (EV)
4) check the ISO setting, "Auto" will work fine until you learn more.
check your user manual to verify the settings on your camera...
Good luck and happy shooting

try turning off the flash or backing awya from people with the camera. you can back away then later use the zoom to zoom in on the picture.

of course its probably been exposed to major light and the lense needs to either A) Be repaired B) Buy a new lense

its because you're using your flash too close to the object
