I have the Fuji S7000 the camera turns red colors into orange. this is a characteristic of the camera due to the illumination of the flash if i want true color ive been told to disabel the flash and use a shutter speed of 1/60 or higher. Is this true Iam very confused about the above statement it doesnt make any sense to me its what some one told me thanks to all in advance who try and help me

LEONJR, I have the 6900Z, a little outdated now compared with later Fujifilm cameras. I never noticed any problems with colour rendition and found it as close to normal as possible.

I don't have any suggestions as to what may be the problem...perhaps Fujifilm may be able to help??

I think this link my help in providing an answer even though it does not state that the sensor is the reason why. But I believe it has a lot to do with the orange tint. Just my opinion. The earlier version of this sensor did not seem to have the problem.

As I stated above the article does not say anything about the orange tint. But if you look at the way the sensor is designed in there diagram [to me] it looks as if it could cause the problem. Especially since the sensor was designed to enhance the dark areas and keep from the light areas being blown out. And if you look at the sensor design in the other diagram on same page you will see that the red sensitive layer is 4 layers down instead of 3 layers down like most. I think that think layer of CYAN takes the sensor from RGB to RGBC sensor causing the orange tint or hue on the red channel.

According to fuji the HR and SR sensor has the same technoligy. LINK

The 'HR' only stands for High Resolution on a small sensor. Another link with Q&A

my pentax turns all my great shots into poorly exposed, poor composed crap. what should I do?

Check that the colour setting isn't on "Chrome" - that can make the colours a bit out of whack on the FinePix S series

BTW, I think you have the wrong camera listed in your profile.

Actually i dont really have the s7000 i have the S20 and i was presented that question and i needed to anwser it i came to the conclusion that its because of the flash

Simple answer...although i did not find it myself.

I was taking test shots with my Fuji S602 and my Rebel. I got all kinds of weird colors - and then a wise person here pointed out that i had other lights on in the room - the slower the shutter speed the more ambient light will be recorded, and that will affect the WB and color of the image.

Solutions: live with it, shoot raw and adjust later, shoot JPG and try to adjust later, remove the ambient light, faster shutter speed, more flash power, custom WB.

Now then, on teh S602 i don't recall a way to custom WB with a flash (flash is daylight, but mixed light will mess up the WB). My rebel can take a pic and set a balance from that stored image - a PITA in some cases, but the only solution here.

THe S602 has no upper limit on shutter and flash sync - i got a 1/4000 flash shot once as a test. this will elminate almost all of the ambient light, but you better have lots of flash!
