Let me try again..Thanks FredKingston,The charts you linked will be very helpful.  Even if my printer does not print them exactly true to color I am interested testing if the camera correctly displays what it sees. And yes, I will be moving to Manual mode once I get a handle on this camera.Thanks nickt,I do not think I was too close for the flash to not cover the subject. I did not see any shadows. As to you point about the background... I started with a light wood stool seat and then a light blue shop towel for the background.  I just tried the carpet in my office. Low pile dark and light blue mix.  The camera was set on closeup program, lens at 55, flash on and the distance about 2 feet. MUCH better. I can distinguish green, black and bare metal.Finally, thanks Carolyn or Sue or Suzie-Q,I have not found a pet eye correction on the camera. But then again there is a LOT I have not found on the camera. I will be using Gimp on Linux for my post processing (I do NOT run Windoze). If that does not have such a tool I imagine that someone has written one (it is open source) or perhaps I will write one - or not.I bet your red and green dog is a big hit for Christmas time pictures <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />  Years ago the owner of a small business I frequented in Pennsylvania had a Husky sort of sled dog breed. It had one blue eye and one brown eye.  I wonder how that would have photographed?  I do recall that the dog was called "Retard."  Not sure why. He was very friendly and seemed smart.  Did look strange with the blue and brown eyes.Thanks again to all,Ken</blockquote>
