I don't have a picture...
but basically what is happening if I used the flash WB while using flash and killing the ambient (ie 1/200 ) the 5Dc gives me a blue hue on the pictures...

I got the same issue with the OP here but only blue... and only at Flash WB with pics...

I checked the WB shift menu and its smack down the middle ( no Changes ) any idea on this...


and yes I can change it using the Eyedropper tool... but never had an issue with my 40D and 5d mk2 so I would like to get to the bottom of this.

And do you guys seeing the shutter in the frame sometimes at 1/200? I see very little of it sometimes... like 20% of the shots?

Do a test. Turn off all the lights and take a shot with the flash. Is it still blue ?
I use ACR and, often, changing WB from "As Shot" to "Auto" gets very close to a good WB.

I don't bother with any specific WB setting, preferring to fix it or change it in post.


Bohdan - I may be, and probably am, completely wrong.

Its shouldn't be bothered cause 1/200 already killed my indoor lights...

But will try again for sure...

I have to shoot my 5D at 160th to make sure to get no shutter every time. Using AB's and RF602's. My "flash" WB setting is giving me dead on color with the AB's. Nice not having to dial in custom WB like I did with my 40D.
