I took this photo of my son recently...it's not a great picture, but what the hell's up with the fire? I assume the R-D1's auto WB was struggling to figure out what was going on...the room was lit by compact fluorescents and the woodstove. But that color is nuts. No matter how I adjusted in Lightroom, I couldn't make it yellow without making everything else look very wrong.

I think that is from the heavy IR in the fire coals - an IR filter may help. I have seen the same with the M8, where coals were magenta and flames were yellow...
 
FYI,

I see the problem with an IR colour cast in my RD-1 files when I shoot at a high ISO and then try to lighten the picture.
