Dear David,
Here's some more sagely advice. Make two or more photocopies of your
owners manual and keep them in two different file folders. Then put the
original in a good ziplock bag and tuck it away safely in your case with
the camera. A lost instruction manual is a real pain to replace.

The "different lighting conditions" you're referring to is called "white
balance" and is available in most digital cameras these days. Different
lighting sources have different color temperatures. Basically, regular
household bulbs (incandescent light) give a yellow cast to
pictures. Sunlight produces a blue cast and fluorescent tubes a green
cast. If you set your white balance to "incandescent" (which is generally
an icon of a light bulb) make sure you close the blinds or drapes in the
room. Any light coming in from a window will add blue coloration to your
image.

Of course, you can always correct the problems in PhotoShop or PaintShop Pro;-)

If you need more help, call me at home.

Best,
JKG
