| 1242507 | 2011-11-09 08:28:00 | Interesting effect! I had a play in Irfanview and it seems that anything out of direct sunlight is showing a reasonable amount of green but the fringes between light and dark and the brighter areas are shades of magenta. It is almost as if a UV filter is missing, you haven't been licking the lense have you, or putting the camera throught the dishwasher to get rid of dirty pictures? :devil All speculation aside, I'm picking that it might be the image sensor that is on the fritz. Maybe it is not being driven correctly and is operating in a non-linear part of its response curve (nothing to do with batteries). Apart from that, does the camera have any 'creative setting' modes? That could well produce this type of effect. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
