Hi Bob,

I was using Fuji Sensia II. There was a time when it was exposed
to some heat. I noticed that the only colors that seemed a little
off were in the reds, pinks (magenta dyes I suppose), so maybe
those dyes alone were affected by the heat.

That is exactly what happened, but I'm trying to find out why it
did. With 100 ISO, f/5.6, FP flash, and the camera ETTL metering
on asian flesh tones, underexposure seemed somewhat unlikely.

The only CF that I changed that might have had any bearing on
this was C.Fn 6. But as Robert Meier pointed out--and as I
suspected--2nd curtain sync shouldn't have caused any problems
here.
Thanks for the input though. I do appreciate it.
In the end, I just might not have kept a good mental record of
what happened that day. I just recently got the camera and might
have fumbled on either the shooting mode or the FP switch. This
seems really unlikely to me though, since these are not features
that I'm unfamaliar with. But I'm not sure what else could have
gone wrong, unless my camera is defective.
thanks,
Chris
