Green tint after manual white balance

Hi,

Every time I manual white balance my DVX100B there's this tiny green tint on the footage - I have tried different completely white surfaces to white balance but the result is the same - I need help here.

I have posted two photos - one of actual footage, and another footage after post editing in FCP (this is how it is supposed to look)
- The photos are not affected by artificial light, only daylight through the window.

My settings:

DETAIL LEVEL: -3
V DETAIL LEVE: 0
DETAIL CORING: 0
CHROMA LEVEL: 0
CHROMA PHASE: 0
COLOUR TEMP: 0
MASTER PED: -5
A. IRIS LEVEL: -2
GAMMA: CINELIKE
KNEE: AUTO
MATRIX: NORM1
SKINE TONE DTL: OFF
V DETAIL FREQ: THIN

PHOTOS:

Also might be a good idea to let the camera black balance before a shoot. You generally only have to do this infrequently, but it helps.
If the image from a properly white/black balanced setup are consistently a bit too green for your taste, try white balancing through a 1/8 minus green (magenta) filter to correct the image for your eye.
Or: it's an easy fix in post.

Please explain your manual white balance process.
Are you zooming in on something 18% gray, white or the tiles?
