I just got my 430 EX 11 flash for my relatively new G12 camera.

The first few pix I took with the 430 EX 11 were fabulous...perfect lighting, etc.

Then I started to push buttons...now every picture I take is blue...portraits look like family members of Mr. Freeze.....blue, blue, blue.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks.

Check your whitebalance on your camera..
Set it to the AWB (auto white balance) or the flash/thunder-figure
