Hi All,
Attached are two photos taken inside a restaurant at mid-day. The "Coolpix3100" version was taken with automatic settings with Nikon's point-n-shoot from many years ago. The D3100 pic was taken with my "new" D3100 on automatic on the same day, same afternoon.
Note the decidedly orange-red hue in the D3100 photo while the pale yellow walls of the restaurant is more true on the Coolpix version! This color difference is decidedly noticeable in skin tones, and I've had to post-process most of the D3100 shots to tone down the orange-red hue, something I'd like to avoid in the future.
Is there a default setting on the D3100 I need to tweek to tone down the color, and still leave the camera on automatic? My better half uses this camera and is not interested in manual adjustments while taking people shots at events.
Sorry for blotting out the faces, but I don't have permission to post anyone's picture at this time.
Thanks,
Roger
