During natural daylight, all my shots come out amazing, now I`ve been trying to do some lighting at night with it, and I keep getting to much red in the shadows. I have tried riding my white balance manual all the way down, also tried Kinos with 56K and then Tungston bulbs. I know there are some color setups in the menu, but they don`t seem to do much. When I film the same setup with the Red, the image comes out great.
Any body else experienced this before ?

Let's go one step at a time:
1) View material in a neutral environment.
2) Correct gamma in your monitor.
3) Shoot under correct 3200K tungsten lamps and set camera to either indoor or 3200 setting and see what happens. Make sure there are no other light sources.

Also, shoot tests starting at iso 200, then increase to 1000 in 100 iso increments and see if there's any variants in color.

Please let us know what you find.
