Re: Samsung WB250F - is there an issue with AWB indoors?
You say indoors but do not actually say what sort of lighting - natural, tungsten, low energy bulbs?
I find with nearly every camera I have had that low energy bulbs fool the auto WB and need to be set to Tungsten to get it right or use custom WB if available. They are incandescent but probably coated to give a warmer light which is not in the presets.

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?
