Dimage A2 display colors before/after shooting image

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

HI

I have a minolta dimage A2 camera. I use the camera to make still-life
photographs.
In the process of making such photo's, the camera is pointed to a bunch
of
objects on a table, which I move around to optimize the composition.
Also I
adjust the lighting conditions until I see a good image on the display
of the
camera. Then I take the actual picture. Now, unfortunately, in the
image taken,
the colors often differ quite a lot from how they look on the real-time
display.
In the image they usually look more green and a lot lighter than on the

real-time display. Is there a way to repair this problem, maybe with
some camera
software or something?

The first question is have you calibrated your monitor?
