Why does my D80 DSLR show a blue tint to the picture in manual mode sometimes? How can I fix it?

Question

Why does my D80 DSLR show a blue tint in some of the picture in manual mode? I use an 18-135 Nikon AF lens. I use the camera often and recently it seems like the camera has a blue shade to the picture. I think its because the f-stop is two high or something, I am not sure. I take the picture in middle of the day and when I look at the picture it has a fair amount of detail while not being to dark, but everything is with a deep blue shade. Can anyone help me with this or advice to some reading I can find about this subject?

Answer 1

check your white balance. if its in manual mode that means it may not be right for whatever light your shooting in

Answer 2

Answer 3

As already said, it's your white balance. You probably have it set on 'tungsten' or 'indoor' mode. Standard light bulbs give off a yellow light so those settings compensate by making things more blue. If you're under white light (i.e. outdoors) then that blue will show up.
