If auto is fine you have messed up the white balance in manual, simple as that.

(WB: manual vs Auto in the last capture)

Your camera is just fine, user error.

I see some colors shift on the bird, I would be more worried about that as it is at the center of lens...


Thank you for your input. Resetting factory settings cured the problem.
The color on the hereon is a result of coloration on the leading edges of the wings and the harsh, direct sunlight. sunlight

Set white balance to cloudy,and see if it improves.


Resetting white balance did not clear the problem - resetting factory settings did.
Thank you for taking time to make a helpful suggestion.

Your EXIF file says you WB was set to Manual, which I will assume you had set to Sunny, have you checked that setting after you put lens on (SUNNY)to see if it truly is on sunny. I would also try leaving it automatic since you implied that it only having this problem with this lens and see what it does.


Thank you for taking time to make some suggestions. Resetting default settings cured the problem. By the way, both lens were used.

The first thing I would do is reset your camera to default settings as Shellback suggested, then take a picture with everything (WB, exposure, etc.) set to Auto. If you are still having issues, you have a camera problem. If not, put your personal settings back in 1 or 2 at a time and test in Auto after each change.

Chances are, you have either accidently changed or changed and forgotten your exposure, a color setting, or some other fine tuning option, and it will probably be easier just to default and re-set up your camera than troubleshoot the change.

You were right. Resetting the default settings cured the problem. Thank you for your time and suggestions.

I wasn't able to fix the horse in post process, but I did find what your problem was. Manual adjust for white balance.


Thank you for your trouble. Resetting factory default settings cured the problem.

If you have adjusted the white balance to what looked 'right,' then it might be a goid idea to have an eye doctor check you for cataracts. One of the consequences of cataracts is a color shift. A famous 19th Century painters works began turning yellower and yellower the orange and that all changed when he had eye surgery (but in one eye). If you are older toward and beyond 60, cataracts might be something to look into.


Thank you for taking time to look and make your helpful suggestions. Resetting default settings cured the problem. At 78, cataracts just beginning to form - no problem yet!

Yes. What Nikonover said. This may seem backwards to use cloudy WB on a sunny day, but it is what works. FYI--always use cloudy WB when shooting outdoors.


Thank you for your suggestion. I've never heard of your suggestion before; however, I will give it a try. Resetting to default settings cured the problem.

Go back to OZ. The color will be spectacular.


Thank you for your input. I have a Sony and do not understand OZ. Resetting default settings cured the problem.

For the last two days, all pictures have a yellow/orange cast regardless of the camera settings. All are straight from the camera (only straightened a couple) and the last one is taken on "Auto" show the difference. This happens with the 17-55mm and the 300mm lens.

In all situations the ISO is 100 and the WB is set on "Bright Sun".

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

The horse is shot in harsh light. If you must shoot in that sort of light use a polarizing filter or a ND 10 X filter
