Hello everyone i was wondering if maybe someone knows why my camera has a weird green filter/screen. Camera works fine, but photos look greenish, but when transferred to my phone the photos come out with its normal color it’s only in the camera that has a weird greenish effect. Any help would work Thank you in advance.

Kasseyguerra,

Do you have any kind of filter mounted on the front of your lens? If so, try removing that and see if it makes any kind of difference.

Sorry about your problem.  I'm glad that your photos are still good, at least.  It points to an issue with your screen.- possibly a bad connection or bad screen.  Before you contact Canon make sure your camera has the latest firmware using https://www.usa.canon.com/support to navigate to your product.   Then try resetting your camera.

If that doesn't work I would suggest contacting Canon customer service at 1-800-385-2155 (Consumer products only)

Hello!

It sounds like you're experiencing a green tint on your PowerShot SX740 HS camera's LCD screen, but the actual photos appear with normal colors when transferred to your phone. This is a common indicator that the issue lies with the camera's display settings or calibration, rather than the image sensor or processing itself.

A good first troubleshooting step is to reset your camera's settings to their factory defaults. This can often resolve display anomalies that might be caused by an inadvertently changed setting.

Here's how to perform a reset on your Canon PowerShot SX740 HS, according to the PowerShot SX740 HS Advanced Guide:

1. Turn on your camera.
2. Press the MENU button.
3. Navigate to the Setup tab (the wrench icon).
4. Use the directional buttons to select [Reset All].
5. Press the FUNC./SET button.
6. On the confirmation screen, select [OK] and press the FUNC./SET button again to confirm the reset.

After the reset, please check if the green tint on the LCD screen has disappeared. If the issue persists, it might indicate a hardware issue with the LCD panel itself, and further assistance from our service team may be needed.

For more detailed information, you can always refer to the official PowerShot SX740 HS Advanced Guide on the Canon website.

We hope this helps!
