Did you check your white balance setting? Popping up the flash changes the WB to the flash setting, so it would look fine.
Turning off the flash reverts the WB to where it was previously set. So, If for some reason, your WB was off, or Auto WB was giving you strange results, that would be consistent with what you describe. gs George Sinos -------------------- gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 8:56 AM, Charles Robinson <charl...@visi.com> wrote: > I wanted to take some pictures of a new wall unit I'd finished installing in > the dining room.
