can you manually adjust white balance temperature on a g12 in manual mode with flash enabled? if you can, adjust that to ~4000K through ~4500K. the higher the number, the more orange/yellow colors you'll see. the lower number, you'll see less of it.

if you want to capture the room's ambient light, use a slower shutter speed, and to see less of the ambient light, use a faster shutter speed

hope i helped

LOL. Everything helps me at this point. Thank you. Lot of fooling around and experimenting to do.

All kidding aside, strap a ex430 mk 2 to it , looks funny as all get out but works great .
just leaves the camera top heavy!!!!!!!!!!!

I shoot in raw and adjust the color temperature afterwards. But if I shoot with flash in a room with light bulbs I now have two colors of light in the same photo so an across the board color adjustment won't help.
What usually happens is I put a tungsten compensating yellow filter over my 430 (called a CTO gel) and make all the light in the shot yellow then fix the whole thing in the raw converter.

Get a small flash bracket and an off camera cord, you the get the best of both worlds – something off the camera to hold which gets over the problems of pressing too many buttons, plus, you get the benefits of the larger gun which can be fitted with a whole host of deflectors and diffusors, you can also control multiple flashes, while not for everyone, those that need it, find it incredibly handy and useful. Of course you can control any Canon flash that supports slave mode (420EX, 430EX, 430EX II, 550EX, 580EX and 580EX II) by using an ST-DE2 controller, it is not perfect, but balances well on the camera and can be very effective – for lot of info on EOS flash see you can also go straight to thw wireless bit
