EOS RP - why blue tint using the adapter and EF 24 F2.8 mm IS USM lens?

[amatula15]

Hi!

I demo'd at a photo store the EOS RP, which feels just great in my hands. I demo'd using an adapter and my EF 24 F2.8 mm IS USM lens.  One of my questions is:

Why did the photos come out with a blue tint (see photo - only change I made was to decrease the size)?

Color representation per image properties is sRGB.

I am hoping this would be an easy in-camera correction.

Thank you and all the best!

BurnUnit,

Thank you!

I have shot with a DSLR (Canon SL1) for 5 years but I have not used raw files and rarely had a need/desire to post-edit. I am "stepping up my game" now however!

I did/do look at the properties of the image in Windows Explorer (right-click image - Properties)

However, maybe because I am running on Windows XP (soon to upgrade!) I cannot view all the info you posted; I can only view ISO, aperture, exposure, camera, time...- that is, just the basics.

I look forward to viewing more when I upgrade, so thank you again and all the best!

Cool post!

It's hard to judge sometimes just how much background and experience a newer member might have. And occasionally someone will post a photo here and be surprised that we can identify the make and model of the camera and lens they used as well as all their camera settings, without them disclosing that information. It can get even more interesting if there's GPS information available.

DPP4 or any other RAW image software should supply you with this kind of complete EXIF data. Actually, I pulled the data above using a Firefox browser add-on called Exif Viewer. You just place your cursor over an image and right-click to access the EXIF info if it's still intact on the image.

Thank you, BurnUnit,
Re: "DPP4 or any other RAW image software ....Firefox browser add-on called Exif Viewer.."

I appreciate that info!!
Once I have a new computer set up, I will check that out - it will be very helpful I am sure.

BTW: I had not realized CS2 was my free-ware version of Photoshop. I actually never really noticed it until I opened Photoshop yesterday!

As for me, with all the research I have been doing on cameras, I do feel like a newbie; I have learned significantly more in the past few months than in the past 4+ years I have owned the SL1 -- it is very humbling; but I look forward to using some of that newly acquired knowledge 🙂

All the best!

"I had not realized CS2 was my free-ware version of Photoshop."

I don't mess with CS2, for a great long time anyway, but I doubt it will run on a Win 10 machine.  At least it won't run well if at all. PS will give you all the EXIF data, too.
