This issue is only apparent with footage shot under industrial/office fluorescent bulbs, which I realize pump out some green light. When I first purchased the camera in Dec 2012, the green cast was very apparent, however the CowPunk picture profiles did a nice job mostly correcting this issue. Now that I'm on the new firmware and CowPunk's profiles no longer translate, this issue is back in a bad way. In addition, in Cinema or WideDR PPs, I feel like my highlights blow out faster than with the CowPunk profiles. Any suggestions out there, anyone have any good picture profiles they like to use in the fluorescent light situations? Can this be corrected with WB?

Can this be corrected with WB?
Do a manual white balance against a gray card target. Most modern cameras' manual WB proceedure corrects in more than the orange-blue axis, most correct in the green-magenta axis also, as would be required to define a neutral gray.
But be aware that setting a specific WB number, like 4000k, won't effect anything other than the orange-blue axis. To correct to a neutral gray, you have to do a manual WB.

You can dial out the green in any picture profile you want - just dive into the custom picture menus looking for the white balance submenu, and there you can dial in settings for red green and blue. Set green negative to taste.
