On both of my digital cameras, I've had the feature "White Balance".

Do you understand what White Balance is all about?

I found a good little tutorial on it and thought that you might like to see it and maybe we could talk in here about it.

In my Sony camera I have the settings "indoors and outdoors"  That really does help with the color. 

I really like my white balance settings in my Canon EOS 300.  I have like 6 different settings. they work great. Or I can set the it on auto.  I need to set it myself sometimes but usually it does a good job on its own.

Some people use a white Pringles can lidr or a white coffee filter over their lens to set the white balance.  It's similar to using a grey card.  I believe there's a company that even sells a plastic thing (kinda like a Pringles can lid) as a specialty product for setting white balance.  I've tried the coffee filter (I don't have a Pringles lid yet).  I don't have a grey card either, but I have some grey paper that I've used for closeups of red stuff (e.g., a Swiss Army knife), and it worked great - red was very good and white background was perfect.

That's so interesting, Ursula.  I've never done much of this at all.
