Camera Flash with 1020-yellowish images-how to fix?

[Blacklac]

There's a lot of people leaving their opinion without even having a Nokia 1020 here. I have one and I gotta say that I'm disappointed with this yellowish tint problem. I bought the phone because of its camera, and they say that the xenon flash would be better, but I compared my photos with a Samsung S3 and the S3 was much better. This pissed me off. Videos at night is just horrible. If I need to edit my photos everytime, then sorry, but it's just crap.

The S3 is not a better camera, its just not. Might want to look into some of the 1020's manual settings, like this and other threads about the issue suggest.

Cant say about night video, I never record video.

A lot of DSLR's function the exact same way when shooting in AUTO. This doesn't make them crap. (As shown by Desmoface's presentation, shooting with a Canon DSLR. Thank You)
Adjust the Shutter and the ISO, combined with a proper WB, your photos should come out accurate. Do note that the photos aren't as accurately replicated when viewing them through the phone, due to the screen and the way it portrays colour. View your images through a PC or another device to make a more accurate judgement.

May not be an ideal solution but I find reducing the colour balance using Nokia creative studio gets rid of the yellow tint.
