Hi, just got the WB250F after reading a lot of good reviews on it, i have had a little mess with it and updated the fw as there was one, i done the fw mainly to see if it fixed an issue i kept getting with the AWB in my flat, all whites look overly white and the picture in general is a little bright.

when i set the AWB to other settings such as incandescent and tungsten the picture looks much better and no where near as bright and washed out, but im a little disappointed if i have to keep setting this every time i take a pic indoors.

Is this the same for anyone else who has this camera, or is it just mine?

Thanks for your post.

Just checked my WB250F and indeed the AWB is washed out of color and a bit brighter compared not only to Tungsten WB but compared to the scene as my eyes see it.
Infact the Tungsten WB is a 'perfect' match to the scene before me.

I can't find the FW notation in the menu.

Guess I will shoot P instead of Auto so that I can set my WB to Tungsten, thanks to your post.
