@ ier, if you are reading this.

this is the picture that i mentioned in the sms where the purple flower has become blue.

on my monitor, it still appears BLUE!

any sifus can rectify? not all purple objects turn out this way though, this flower is reaallly special.

correct ah..is blue..i saw blue...

but the flower is PURPLE ma!! y become blue one??

it looks purplish blue..but more to the bluish side...
did it occur to the other shots too?

i always set WB to auto and colour to standard.
dont really know how to play with these settings..

hahhha..i thought there is shortcut or something. then i can skip the post processing step.
everytime come back with hundreds of pictures..
post processing is tedius..
haha...

whr got...lol...ur camera wont be so pro all the time...100 shots without any need for PP..impossible..xD...

if u use adobe photoshop to do all 100+ pics..then it is troublesome...for large amount of pics with slight editing, tune colors, lighting,etc..use Lightroom much faster..

did u use flash?
last time i shoot a person wearing a purple tie and comes out blue..

like this one

Thank for comment my pic

LOL!!!
heard of lightroom before..
but haven really venture into it yet.
Final exam coming in 6 days!!
LOL!!!

yess!!! but only this flower!! i thought is my sensor problem or wad. =/

100 shots is possible...i notice that i PP less and less pictures nowadays compared to 2 years ago

waa...why like that a??

Maybe tweaking the white balance may help?

oh mai. why so technical now

hmmm..so many reasons that contributed to this purple become blue thingy...

It looks more wb issue than anything else. Not all sensors are created the same, meaning they don't all pick up the same colors and inteprete them as such. Try adjusting the colors in post processing to give you the output you want.

Windy87: The most practical solution is to use a flash.

To make colors vibrant, simply set your Creative Style to Vivid and adjust contrast and saturation as you like. I like Vivid +1 +2 +3.

I've reworked your shot a bit, making masks for both the face and tie (hint: you can use a color channel as a mask; it's a lot faster than painting it in):



ahpingko: Didn't go to SRJK© mah.

zstan: Firstly, your WB is a bit off - a bit cold. After fixing that, I pulled up the reds that were 'hiding' behind the very strong blues.



I've written a tutorial here to recover colors, which I used for both your picture and Windy87's:

Also, here is a repost from another forum:

Pros of A33/A55 over A560/A580:
- A55 has 10 FPS
- video recording has phase-detect AF (A560/A580 is manual focus video)
- no loud mirror slap sound
- no mirror shake
- the swivel LCD is arguably more practical and can be folded to protect the screen
- you can change all your settings in the EVF (ISO is missing from the A450/A500/A550; don't know if it came back in the A560/A580)
- you can use the EVF in bright sunlight
- you can playback pictures in the EVF (useful for chimping in low light conditions and places where you don't want the LCD to be glaring)
- you don't get the ghosting from the side LEDs in the viewfinder that the A450/A500/A550 suffered from (I don't know if they've fixed this on the A560/A580)
- A55V has built-in GPS unit
- A33/A55 has much bigger viewfinder
- A33/A55 always has phase detect AF in Live View; A560/A580 has phase detect AF in Quick AF LV, and contrast detect AF in main-sensor-based Focus Check LV (since CDAF is introduced, they cannot call it MF Check LV anymore.)
- you don't get inconsistent WB from MF Check LV compared to Quick AF LV (my experience on the A550)

Cons of A33/A55 versus A560/A580:
- EVF exhibits RGB tearing in bright contrasty light
- weaker battery life
- 10 FPS mode shows last picture taken, not live feed
- smaller
- does not support battery grip
- supposedly less light and thus more sensor amplification (have to wait for DxO to get the official numbers)
- the shutter has to go down first and then open and then go down again and then open again (like the NEX-3 and NEX-5, or the A550 in MF Check LV)
- mirror absolutely must not be touched as there is no way to clean it
- if there is any backfocus you cannot tune it as easily as you can on a body where the AF unit is on the bottom of the camera
- in 10 FPS mode, the aperture is fixed to as close as F3.5 as possible (meaning a F1.4 lens will shoot at F3.5, and a F5.6 lens will shoot at F5.6)
- in video with AF, the aperture is fixed to as close as F3.5 as possible (meaning for videos in low light needing F1.4, you should switch to MF to allow the aperture to be at F1.4)
- EVF means you cannot manually focus the lens or check framing when the camera is off

Both the A33/A55 and A560/A580 have magnified view when focusing.

hi, i hope to add me to your a700 userlist here...thanks!

at the same time, i would like to ask anyone got back focusing problem with a700? my center meter is ok...just other meters give me quite a big problem!!!

mirror absolutely must not be touched as there is no way to clean it

-for real? theres absolutely NO way?

i think so, have u seen how fragile the mirror is:

i wonder if the next rumored firmware will remove some of these cons away

Added on September 12, 2010, 10:55 pmaccording to imaging-resources:
The Sony A55 and A33 provide a cleaning mode allowing the sensor to be accessed, and the pellicle mirror itself can be manually raised to facilitate this, but Sony's documentation provides no advice on cleaning the pellicle mirror itself, simply noting that the surface of the mirror shouldn't be touched.
