I have a Nikon d5100 camera with the kit lens,whatever setup I use there is always a slight red cast to the pics, I have tried auto white balance, and in very sunny conditions sun, etc.
Also I have tried the vivid setting the neutral and all the other settings but still get the same results, I can alter the colour in my paint program but why do I keep getting the red cast, any ideas please.
Have you had that camera or did you just get it used. A D5100 is far from new. I'm guessing you are shooting JPG (JPEG) and not Raw. WB should be able to get very close even on AWB. With Raw it should be a one-click fix with ACR (Ps or Lr). Someting may be wrong with your camera or settings in it. But you are better off with excess Red than Blue. Blue people in portraits look like corpses! Perhaps a Nikon using with a similar camera knows what is wrong or at least to know it needs repair. Good luck.
