I agree, Ken. The color in the first is artificial. The color in the new scan is overly cold I think, which is exacerbated by her pale complexion. Here’s a quick PS adjustment with the highlights pulled down and minus some blue. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18114415=lg > On Oct

IR sensor in the front is not just for selfies. It is also quite useful when doing macros, e.g. when handholding a remote flash to provide backlighting to a flower. Agree that the IR sensor on the back is a good feature, a carryover from earlier models. stan > On Oct 23, 2015, at 2:56 PM,
