I had the same problem and used the Color Corrector with some success as follows:-

Use the left hand "dropper" under each color wheel ...

i. For the left had color wheel select a bit of snow that should be white on the preview screen (this may be all that you need).

ii. For the centre color wheel, select some part of the preview that should be mid gray

iii. For the right-hand color wheel select part of the preview that should be black.

For me this produced better results than hours of trial-and-error experimentation!

Finally, if you have a similar color cast on lots of events, save the color corrector settings with your choice of name, and then you can re-apply the same settings instantly...

Let us know if this works for you ...

TJ, you're a star, but first let me tell you what I did:

I followed your instructions and ended up with some pretty strange results. Then it occurred to me that if I reversed your wheel sequence then I'd get what I needed. That did the trick. So, I started with the left-hand wheel and selected a black area, obviously the middle wheel stayed the same, and ended up selecting a white bit of snow with the right-hand wheel. Perfect.

I suspect that this is what you meant to write? Anyway, it's made life so much simpler. Thank you! Why couldn't Sony put this simple explanation as an example in their manual?

Andy.

Oops! Sorry for the misleading memory lapse ... but well done for figuring out what I meant to post! ;)
