Canon HFG20 blue bluish tint

[vickie_v]

I've had my camera for a few years, I shoot youtube videos in the same space every time.
Lately some of the videos have a blue cast tint to them.

It doesn't happen consitently only on some videos.

All videos are shot in the exact same environment.

The first time it happened, I turned it off and back on and it was back to normal.

Is there a explination for this, or is the camera just going bad?

Is it something that needs to be repaired? If so, is it worth fixing?

Is there anything I can try, it seems unlikey to be any of the settings as I have been shooting the same videos for years (approx 3-4 years with this camera)

thanks

no that you mention it, I'm not even sure if it looked blue in the actual video - I shoot 12 at a time and upload them to youtube...I generally don't go back and watch them...I would have to atch all 12 to know for sure...aaaarrgh

Well I think we're now at the point where we have to get down to brass tacks.

Can you post a link to one of the YouTube videos? Preferably one that has the blue tint to it.

Are you shooting with daylight? What time of day? Cloudy, overcast, open shade, direct sunlight? Are you using artificial lighting? Incandescent, fluorescent, LED, halogen? Are you using more than one type of lighting in a given scene? Mixed lighting sources can be a PITA for still shooting.

Both my HF G50 and HF G70 do this. I've been working on it for a year, with no progress.

This is a nearly 6 year old thread. You might get better results by starting a new thread describing your particular problem. Including a link to a sample video showing the issue would also be helpful.

It is the EXACT symptom, of this persons post, and, like every other thread on this camera line doing the blue, it had no resolution, so, felt worth a try, as the OP may respond. But, when I join a convo, in hopes of progress, I usually end up with a reply like this, and get nowhere. Well, I've been fighting this problem since September 2022. I am going to put the camera on ebay, take the L, save again... and buy something else. What... I don't know yet. My Sony ZV-E10 has no WB problem, but, it overheats. Will have to think
