What settings do I have to change?

[96Firebird]

I took this shot with my D3200 with kit lens on auto:

I don't like the way the colors came out, they are too blue. My dog's true color is more like this image, edited in Lightroom:

I think all I did was increase the tint, and maybe another setting that I forgot about.

But I want to know, what setting on the camera should I have changed to get closer to the edited image? Or was it a lighting issue? I don't think I had the flash on.

Here is the metadata:

Exposure: 1/15 sec at f/5.3
Focal length: 40mm
ISO: ISO 1600
Flash: Did not fire

Still learning all this, so thanks for any help.

Edit - Added metadata.

You could try setting your WhiteBalance (WB) to "cloudy" to get a more golden glow.

1/15 of a second is pretty slow, and I'm assuming that was hand-held. The photo looks sharp(ish), but would be much sharper if you get the shutter speed faster than 1/15.

I'm guessing the camera got confused about WB - the bright white of the outdoors and the dark interior.

This is my try in LightRoom (which is the best program in the world)
If you haven't tried "shooting in RAW", I suggest you get in the habit.
You can have the camera take RAW+F (raw + fine jpg's) to help you ease into working with RAW. The RAW image will give you "more to work with" - the highlights outside could have more detail (for example).

Also, in case there is anything in what I did you like, here is what i did

As an aside, your dogs eyes and coloring remind me of my dog.

Also also, LR does a great job exporting re-sized files.
You posted up some monsters there.

The setting to change is white balance. Try setting it to "cloudy" or "shade".

The problem with that is that you'll forget to switch when you go outside on a sunny day etc. Then when you change WB of the JPEG you lose a lot of data, which is why it's best to shoot in raw.

As already said by others, If you're going for a perfect shot, shoot in RAW+fine jpg, and then use the RAW file to create a jpg if you're not contend with the camera jpg. In this particular case it's a WB problem.

I mostly shoot in jpg, but when I need a "perfect" shot specially in difficult lightning I use RAW+jpg.

Or use a grey card.

Or put on a warming filter.
