Wasso Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 This amazing bit of kit http://www.ebay.co.u...=item51ca3ef68b Stick to cars and modifying, cameras are so not your thing. Even on the cheap it's gone very bad. Let me sort this "blue" problem out....... Maybe it's in tune with the release of 50 shades or something? That's grey May have found the problem Just doing some tests - will post the results But it's in principle a "blue" movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ioneabee Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) never gonna fix that focussing issue though or is it camera shake due to a wobbly hand Edited February 15, 2015 by ioneabee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 It's just the white balance, if you can manually set it, just do that with a white bit of paper in front of it first,then set it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) There has to be! No you have 5 choices - auto, daylight, cloudy, tungsten or fluorescent some pics are fine some are crap the other camera was a lot better - especially for £20 but the auto focus is dying - mainly from paint and dust all over it See my build thread today pics are randomly crap or ok 1 is really sharp - took some with the canon and they are all spot one Edited February 15, 2015 by Keyser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth29 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 50 sheds of blue? Nice shed by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 No you have 5 choices - auto, daylight, cloudy, tungsten or fluorescent Well depending on your lighting in the shed, it'll be either of the last two which should ensure the white is close to white. Auto probably gets confused if you have day light surrounding the shed but strong lighting inside it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 50 sheds of blue? Nice shed by the way!

Auto probably gets confused if you have day light surrounding the shed but strong lighting inside it. Tungsten gives the blue effect - fluorescent is what I used to get the non blue tinged out of focus shots I'm taking the camera back tomorrow it is not fit for purpose!

twobears Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I thought the Zed Shed was blue in the first photo because it was unhappy as it hadn't been tidied but then that theory was scotched when it felt sad afterwards too It does look nice and neat now though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zedd Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Older point and shoot digitals had a tendency toward a blue cast due to certain technical issues but that shouldn't be a problem in newer cameras less than 2yrs old. White balance set to fluorescent will give a blue cast if photos are shot in daylight Sounds like the white balance settings are up the creek!!

Keyser Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Did you get a different camera? Not yet, was waiting for a refund as I bought it online - to fair they had refunded me before I got home though Will have a look about and order something else soon.

Harryjax Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hey Chris I've got a little camera you can have. (FOC) It's a Samsung S1050. It will do you as a workshop camera. It takes a very good photo. I've lost the usb cable but I just transfer photos via a card reader. Normal Batteries don't last long. I found rechargeable lithium ones last much much better. If you want it give me a shout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
