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.
