I'm having trouble getting this camera to present the right colors under reef lighting. Any suggestions?

Have you tried adjusting your white balance? That's about the only thing that I can think of.

Chuck,
Try using custom function in the white balance menu. Shot of white or grey subject lit by aquarium lighting will be just fine if you set it as your custom wb.
Look here for more unswers ont he features of your cam, it is a really good camera if you spend some time with it and get to know it.

Wow! Looks like I am to late, great answers guys.
Chuck, depending on your lighting, you may get away with setting the WB to shade, or cloudy. If those don't work, a custom WB is by far the best.
Before and after adjusting the white balance.It's still a far cry from accurate though. I still have a lot to learn.
When I go to the custom setting under WB it has that evaluate WB button at the far right. I don't know how to evaluate it though.
Thanks so far guys

Chuck, that second pic is really a good shot, what did you do?

That's with the white balance on custom. I'm going to try some of the other settings. Thanks Charlie

I think you are getting close. What I found with my camera is the more you play, the more you know.
One more thing, with digital cameras, there are really no mistakes, just deletions.
