Purple tint problem. help.

Since you don't use Fluo it's all up to white balance. If you set it to 5.6K outdoors it will be fine most of the time. To get a slightly warmer look up that temp a couple of hundred k.
 
Assuming it isn't a white balance issue, check your scene file(s). Increasing chroma will increase your saturation (green). Reducing chroma phase will reduce magenta.

You may also want to check how you are monitoring for color; Is the problem with your monitor, and not the cam?

My monitor is the lcd.

I will try and increase the chroma.

Is the a purple tint in the clip when your watching it?
 
Apart from what editman wrote: You will get purple more easily in such foggy, pale light. Or do you have it also with direct sunlight? And do you black balance at times?

editman is right with recommendation. I shoot under such conditions with ISO up to 6000 at times (slightly perverse, I know).

postskriptum: Okay..... I'm not that perverse. What I meant to write was 6000k but somehow my fingers decided otherwise....

I don't believe I have that problem in direct sunlight :)
 
Don't see any purple here. What i do see is 5600k preset with an overcast day making it slightly more blue. Normal to me. If you want something a little more green go with NORM1 Matrix.

Forgive my ignorance, why do you shoot with such a high iso in sunlight, Is it for a specific look? Seems it would blow out the entire frame even with stopping the lens down or raising your shutter speeds.
 
Ouuuuch..... I was talking about colour temperature and did type ISO. It was to early in the morning over here.... five o'clock. Sorry.

First: It was too early and I had my first coffee too late.... yes, yes, yes embarrassed myself to the max... ;-) .... 6000k not ISO. And no €.

Second: Yesterday the station gave the "okay" for my last movie and the night was a bit longer.... probably the Riesling made me do it... ;-)

The ExpoDisc is handy, & easier to use when your in a hurry, or on your own. Probably not so good with a Matte Box, which brings me to my next question.

One of the reasons I haven't been setting the Color Temperature manually is I can't get the cam to go into VAR mode. I've followed Barry's instructions of going to "Preset" white balance, & then holding down the AWB button, but still have no luck.

Perhaps it's a firmware glitch, which there are still a few, or maybe it has something to do with how my AF100 is setup, either way it's frustrating.

Since I can't get into that mode I wonder what the color temperature range is VAR mode? Anyone know off hand?

Thanks,
Bern
 
So I figured out my issue with getting into VAR mode.

Seems a quick tap on the AWB button cycles through the options, & I was holding it down too long. There still are some firmware glitches, but this is not one of them.

Appears the AF100's Color Temperature range is 2400* to just under 10,000*, which is pretty good, but you were likely shooting in cooler light, so either optical filtration, or color correction in post, would be the only solutions.

Best,
Bern
