So i got a new camera a few weeks ago.
I have taken some nice pictures but i think it could do better.
Does anyone have the Olympus stylus.
If so can you help me figure out a way to dile the cam in to take better pictures.

Here are some i have taken that don't look bad.

Did you download the Olympus viewer program? It's free and helps edit pictures and very easy to use. Specifically for removing blue that makes a picture unnatural and cold looking

To start though you need to learn how to use your custom white balance feature on the camera. Your white balance options will be in the menu. Usually you choose custom white balance, then take a picture of something white, like a piece of pvc, in the tank preferably near the subject. This tells your camera what is truly white, and helps correct the rest of the colors in the shot. Get as much of the white as possible in viewer when setting white balance, it doesn't need to be in focus .

My camera also let me choose a preset Kelvin up to 9900k thatll also get you close.

In the Olympus viewer under edit you'll see a graph it will have RBG in the pull down option. Select B for blue. Click the center of the graph and slightly drag the line down. This will pull the over blue from the pic making it look much more natural .

Are you using an Olympus DSLR? If so, adjust the Aperture to get more Depth of Field for a more focused picture :)
