I have not noticed any blue tint when using it. I tend to use the 285 mostly when I am shooting in snapshot mode (i.e. parties). I really like the combination of features...Several automatic ranges (great for depth of field) ...the tilt head (soften those shadows)...and its power. My only caution is get a set of rechargable batteries for it. I went through a set of $3 Duracells each time I shot a roll before I invested in a couple sets of GE Rechargables.
