Indoor Camera
Why do my indoor pictures have a yellow tint? I am using a 35 mm film camera with 800 film. I have had this?
camera for about 4 years now and I have always been very satisfied with the photos, but I don't know if I accidently changed a setting or what is going on, but the last 2 events I have been getting extreme red eye problems and yellow tint...only on indoor photos. The only flash I have is the one that is built onto the camera, but it has always done fine before. Thanks.
Of course, a film camera will not have a white balance setting. If the yellow is the prominent light, then it will be hard to adjust it in the photolab without turning everything red and blue.
The yellow suggests that the flash is not firing at full power, or you are too far away for the flash to affect the ambient lighting. Tungsten bulbs produce yellow light, fluorescent lighting usually looks green.
The red eye is caused by the proximity of the flash to the lens, not a lot that you can do about that with a built in flash.
You may have set the camera to night mode, which would use a longer shutter speed in order to capture more of the background lighting. The icon for that mode is a person with a star beside their head.
