All pictures I take with the flash on turns green-ish?

I just bought an Xperia Active and I noticed now that it's night-time, whenever I take pictures with the flash in it, the preview or the focusing phase seem to have okay lighting then when the picture is finally shot, it gets a rather shade of green? It's pretty unpleasant to look at. Why is this happening?

Oops, it seems I just found the fix myself. For those who might find this an annoying problem as well, here's what I did;

  1. Set the capturing mode to "Normal".
  2. Set the scene to "Party".
  3. Set the flash to "Auto".
  4. ???
  5. Profit.

Although I must wonder why such an option should be set when normally it shouldn't be a problem. I hope it's a software-related issue though and would hopefully be fixed soon. 😕

Very much thanks to santam and slimshaddy for sticking with me through this thread. Slightly_smiling_Face

Here, I took another shot. I already talked to a few people I knew and we all agreed that it had some color change happening. On this next attempt, I have a no-flash version and a with-flash version.

Well normally when I take pictures like these, the area would just become brighter and not greener. Hence the reason I am using a flash. To brighten things up. Dizzy_Face I look forward ot your post. Slightly_smiling_Face
