Hi all. I've been a forum reader for some time but this is my first post.... I've been a long time Sony mirrorless camera user. Started out with the original NEX5 then got the NEX5n, A6000, A7, A7s and now I have the A6300. I've also shot on many of the others in the range (A7s II, A7r, A7rII). I've owned an FS100, shot on FS700, FS5, F5 and even the F55. So over the years I've got used to the odd Sony quirks. I'm having an issue setting custom white balance. Here are the steps I'm taking and the results I'm getting: I'm in manual mode (as I can't set custom white balance in Movie mode, which I think is a really odd and annoying quirk... but that's a separate issue). I has have a Picture Profile enables (in this case it's the standard PP7 preset with S-Log2). I press the "Fn" button, select "White Balance" and then scroll down to "Custom Setup". I then point the camera to a grey card (I get the same result if I point the camera to a white wall) and I fill the frame with the grey card. I then press the centre button on the function wheel and the camera shutter fires. What I'm then presented with is a green image. The camera reports a "Custom WB Error" with the following values: 3700K A-B: 0 G-M: G7 If I turn Picture Profiles off and I repeat the steps above I get a correct WB reading: 6500K A-B: 0 G-M: M2 If I then go back through all the standard Picture Profiles I find that PP1-PP6 all work fine. I can get a correct WB reading. If I select PP7-PP9 I get and error. It seems that any Profile that is using an S-Log2 or S-Log3Gamma produces the error. So I testing this by changing the Gamma of PP1 to S-Log2. Repeated the steps above and I get the same error. So there appears to be a bug in the current firmware (My camera is reporting Ver. 1.00) that causes a Custom WB Error when using S-Log2 or S-Log3 Gamma. Can anyone else replicate this issue? I don't recall ever having this issue with the A7s. Thanks Adam
