Title: iPhone 4 camera yellow?
Post by: SteveS on January 21, 2011, 07:46:41 pm

Ok, so got my iPhone, the camera pictures are alright but at night they always come out yellow.. some people have said this is an issue with the iphone software not getting the white balance right at night with flash.

Would a camera app give better pictures or is it more built in issues?

Skin colours come out yellow. This is only at night with flash. so cannot use he HDR mode.

You have to try the HDR PRO app. The HDR setting on the default camera is lame and you can really see a difference. As for the yellow bit, mine is fine, crystal clear images everytime. Take it back to an apple store and get an expert opinion and if it is yellow then they will replace it there and then while it still has its 1 year warranty.
