True Color

[Lotuslady]

I am having trouble getting true colors when photographing flowers this summer. Colors that were particularly difficult to capture were the purple/maroon and anything that was on the beige side.

Beige flowers turned a rose color and the purple/maroon flowers turned an odd purple color.

I have a Minolta DImage A1. It does ok, but I can not say that I am truly happy with this camera. It might be operator problems though.

Can any of you please give me tips on how I can correct my color problems.

Thank you!
