Default PLEASE HELP: Rose-colored tint on images

My 4yr old Konica Minolta 5D has recently started taking photos that have a rose-colored tint to them. I am not quite sure why.

Anyone have any ideas? Is this a setting on the camera itself or is something broken?

Thanks!

Sounds like something white balance related, do you use auto white balance or do you set it your self?

I would suggest setting it to the one it should be on for example daylight when outdoors and seeing what the result is then trying auto. The other thing you could try is restore to factory default setting which will restore all default settings and trying then from a clean start.

Yeah, sounds like a white balance issue to me too. What teaking said should help you. It also might help if you post some photos to illustrate.

Could be white balance, it could be custom settings such as color/saturation, it could even be a particular lens. Do a full reset on the camera and see what that gets you (check your manual).
