why digital camera pictures come out yellowish?

Question

i take lots of pictures every month indoor for work related; however, some pics come out clear and most come out yellow. The camera i use is a Konica Minolta Dimage G600 6.0 pixel

Answer 1

If it's only on your indoors- thats normal. It means that you are taking photos in an environment with standard light bulbs... You see different types of lights have a different colour temperature. ie tungsten= yellow, sun = clear, fleuro's have no contant colour- but flicker blue and green- your never really sure what you'll get with em! This may be why photos indoors with natural light through a window might be clear- but those in an environment where the prinicpal light source is artificial come out with a colour cast.

You can look into a white balance setting on the camera

Or use a program such as photoshop to correct the imbalance.

Alternatively use a good quality/ well diffused flash gun with a white colour cast

If it happens both indoors and out it may actually be a fault in the CCD's. speak to your local camera place- they may help you adjust settings- or identify a fault.

Answer 2

learn about the white balance function...if you are white balanced for 'indoor" light, or typical warm-colored tungsten light the camera is reading that color as the "white", so then if you turn on a cooler fluorescent, it will look a whole lot colder...if you are balanced for "daylight", which is actually "whiter", "cooler" than indoor light (it has a higher color-temperature) and you take pictures inside lit by warmer lights, it is going to come out warmer/yellowish...so find that function, try to understand when to use what setting and with a bit of trial and error you will get it and solve that problem...google "white balance" and "color temperature" to learn more...

Answer 3

you're taking picture in rooms with florescent lighting which makes most pictures-digital or otherwise-to come out yellow. read your owners manal and figure out if you can change your saturation levels-if not when you print them you should be able to then with whatever software you're using with your camera.
