Please pardon me if I should have posted this in the D3400 sub-forum but I suspect that it might be a generic issue. As I described in the new member introduction I have recently purchased a D3400 and am testing it by taking pictures of all sorts of stuff for my insurance inventory. A good workout for the camera. At the moment I am experimenting with the built in programs - not manual mode. As to my first "green" question...
I took a picture of a small handgun with a dark green plastic grip frame. I had the camera set to the closeup program with the flash on. The "kit" 18 - 55 lens is set to 55. The green appears BLACK both on the camera's screen and when I load it to my computer (Dell Ultrasharp monitor). If I back off the distance and the lens to say 55 it appears to be a little more green. However, I cannot get a green closeup with the actual focus area being about 8" x 10".
I turned the flash off and took the picture using the 4000K LED lighting in the room (from a tripod). This image does appear green - at least a lot better than with the flash.
My second green question... My living subject (victim) of the camera is my dog. Animals do not experience "red eye" but rather green eye. The camera's red eye retouch function does not recognize green eye so if till not of course correct it. The red eye reduction mode of the flash does seem to help so I guess that is the best I can do on the camera. Looks like post processing on the computer is the only real option to clean up green eye. Am I right?
And a third question if I may... Does someone know where I can obtain a "test pattern" so to speak with a range of colors? The idea would be to photograph the test pattern and then compare the results as displayed on the computer screen or printed to paper.
TIA,
Ken
