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

Hi BurnUnit,

You're correct!

The correct setting is the white balance setting, not gain.

Good catch!

@Richard-

Thanks for the quick reply. LOL! I'm going to sleep just a little bit better tonight not laying awake trying to figure this out.

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
