Color discrepancy

[philmmaker]

I'm noticing a color discrepancy with my HMC150. What should be red in color has an orange tint. Funny thing: what should be orange, is indeed orange. Anyone else experiencing this?

What scene file? What are you viewing on?

I have not noticed this...

Also check your exposure. If you're exposing something too hot, the red channel may be clipping, which may turn a red image more orange-ish.

Scene File FI. Basically, normal setting, shooting at 1080/24p. I noticed that digital stills my client took while on location also had the same result.

Shot on a cloudy day; would that have any effect on the issue?

How are you viewing determining this? How are you viewing it? What software/hardware? Calibration? There is slight shift in color if you view with Rec601 matrix instead of Rec709

I am viewing the footage in Pinnacle NLE software.

I tend to think that Barry Green's assessment is the most likely reason for this color discrep. Thanks, Barry!
