[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 101721, member: 25"]Do you know how to find the camera settings. Have you read this? ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/camera/om/dmc-fs12_en_om.pdf On the menu screen you should start with IA as the operating mode. See page 15 onwards of the pdf of the manual. Always suppport the camera when taking pictures in low light. Holding the thing out at arms length to see the screen is inherently unstable. Find the white balance setting and select 'auto', I can't help thinking this may be set to some borderline value. Did you buy this new? If so there should be a photo processing progarm with it, install this and use it. It can often salvage poor shots. More light is always good. If you switch from oil lamps to electric light it may solve some problems, better still get out doors. That camera is capable of excellent pictures under very bad lighting conditions if you know what you are doing and even fairly good one if you don't know what you are doing. It is almost as if someone has painted the lens yellow, or fitted a yellow filter. Here is a picture from another panasonic model taken in poor light. [ATTACH=full]25674[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
