CATHY’S TIP 1:

If your pictures are pale blue even when you are using a strobe, try these tips to reduce the over-exposed sunlight and increase the pro- portion of colorful strobe light in your photos:

•Set the EV or exposure compensation for –2. (The icon is +/-.)

•Set the ISO for 100, or any setting but auto.
