The other day I brought my pentax optio 330 into the house from
outside in the car. It was about 40 degerees F. Taking a couple indoor
pictures with the cold camera without the flash resulted in orange
tinted photos, Using the flash the pictures looked right. Is there
something about ccd imaging devices that would make them react this
way to cold? Just curious.
Thanks,
Eric R Snow
