Ok, ive been shooting a lot, locales, and recent project. Everytime we shoot in the morning, its to over exposed. So then i get a purple sky, purple coloring on clothes that are blue, and the colors are all wrong. I tried lowering the f stop, i used nd filters and i went down to 1/64, shutters, i did everything. but I still get purple coloring. Everywhere. I know you have to lower the balance and all and i tried that. What can i do to fix this??:Drogar-Evil(DBG):
 
but the werid thing is, when i play it on the tv, i dont see any purple fringing, but when i upload to computer, all the purple appears.
 
yea its hard to judge by saying "its purple".... Grabs man, grabs. Post em up.

this one has purple all over, tried nd filter, drops it down all the way and then the picture is really dark, tried f stop, and the white balance switches. I heard about manually white balancing. what is that, i tried to but there is not setting for manual white balance. either way, how can i fix this?? thank you

The switch on the side for whitebalancing just allows you to keep multiple whitebalance (w/b) settings, say one indoors, the other outside. What you need to do is manually white balance. First, point your camera at something white (filling the frame), then push the whitebalance button on the front of the camera (look in the manual for the exactly location, it should be under the lens). It will then tell you that the white balance is okay (hopefully). If it was "ng", iris down and try it again. By holding down the w/b button longer, the camera will black balance, which you should also do. Hope this helps.

so i have to hold a piece of white paper and do that AWB. what about gain controls and all settings, leave them the same, cause at the same time, i want a clear good looking image. Also how would i do the black balance?? point at something black?

Yes, leave all the settings as you need them for your shot, them whitebalance on something white (a piese of paper is fine). To do the black balance, you just have to hold down the white balance button on the front, it doesn't matter what you point it at. Oh, and if you're manual white balancing, i suggest you turn off the auto whitebalance (so that it doesn't drift). Maybe set auto to one of the preset switches just in case. Look in the manual for how to do this. Hope this helps.
 
I'm offering training seminars on the use of the HVX. PM me if you're interested. Good Luck.

P.S. The flashing ND1/64 means switch on the ND filter on the lens barrel.
