How do I correct a mistaken f2 "fluoro" selection?

After filming an interview yesterday in natural light, I found that my DVX102A was set to the f2 "fluoro" scene file. Thinking back I remember noticing that the talent's face looked a bit red, but didn't react to it; I'd done a white balance, it should be fine... wrong.  :(

Does anyone know what the colour changes are in the  f2 fluoro scene file?

Clearly reds are boosted, but I am hoping that someone in the group may have already faced this. I use Final Cut Pro HD in post.

Oh, and by the way, it does show up in the footage, I can't ignore it. The guys face looks like he's got ultra-high blood pressure! Cheers.

I'm not an expert at color correcting, but I would say take down the reds if it looks too red. Just experiment with what looks good....only make sure you have a properly adjusted production monitor before you start messing with the colors, without that, you can start messing things up even more....

I believe the fluoro setting boosts all the colors except for green.

Horse is correct, the "fluo" setting boosts the red/magenta section while not boosting the greens (and to a lesser extent the blues).
