Hi!

My Sony a6300 is showing wrong colors in the EVF and Monitor (both!).

In bright light (like hard sunlight, spring), especiallay the ground flower green leaves are to white.

I include a movie. With Liveview Off/On.

When focusing (look at the autofocus hunting) you can, for a brief moment, see a darker, more realistic green. That is the same color that my I eyes perceive. After the photo capture you can see the 2 sec autopreview of the picture. This is also a good representation of what I see.

I shoot in raw. Changed to JPEG, and the same result. When I load the photos in Lightroom everything is fine.

 

BUT - I like to se the real world in the viewfinder/monitor.

I showed it to representatives from two Sony resellers, and they both where a bit stunned. No explanation though.

Do you have any? Malfunction?

 

I have also a RX100M3 since two years ago. I can, if I look really close, see the same behaviour. But not at all as distinct as in the a6300.

Yes. I have changed the viewfinder brightness. I can get it darker.  But the change affects the autopreview also, of course, so the difference  between Liveview  and the picture is still there.

I have also changed

- Finder Framerate

- Display Quality

- Finder Color Temp

 

Nothing helps.

Creative Style and Picture Profiles changes the view and picture, so I wont use them

I cant see any reason for this color shift. I mean, the monitor and EVF are capable of reproducing green right, looking at the picture that i shot. Had it only affected when Liveview is Off, I would have understood  it.

??.

@Austerror: Thanks for the good advice. I tried with manual focus, ISO, WB, Peaking off,  and there is still a distinct difference between the EVF/Monitor before shooting and the preview picture in the monitor.

I must be completely missing something in the understanding of mirrorless cameras.... or I have a defect camera in the aspect of "LiveView". I think the latter is more realistic, since my RX100M3 is showing the right colors.

Next step is to borrow another a6300 from the Sony resellers!...Or maybe make a factory reset om my own camera. Hate to do that ;-)

      Sony A7Riii lens/focussing problem

      By Barrykap · Posted

      I have a slight problem with my A7Riii connected with the auto-focussing. Occasionally it will not auto-focus at all and the image remains out of focus. Checking the FN function the focusing tab is greyed out and if I persevere it will say 'This lens not compatible or not connected' etc.  I have to remove the lens and refit it, making sure I push the lens hard.  This happens with all my lens so I suspect it is the camera. I examine the contacts, cleaned them all and examined the mount etc but all seems fine.  Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if it is fixable.

      a7iii - How Long To Charge Internal (date & time) Battery ?

      By WB5AGF · Posted

      My Sony z7iii Camera sometimes sits for long periods (weeks) in its camera bag. I began having the problem of the camera 'forgetting' the date & time when I'd power the camera on. I learned that the internal ('real time clock') battery only gets charged when : 1.) The camera is turned-on (with the regular battery in the 'battery well') as when the camera is being used or 2.) When the camera is turned-off and a fully charged 'regular' battery is in the camera's 'battery well' and the external charge cable is plugged-in (and connected to the AC charger) (Typically I've found that the tiny  amber 'charging' LED comes on for a brief period when the external charger is first plugged-in but then it goes off. Apparently it is only then that the internal battery starts to be charged ... when the amber LED goes off.) When I looked into the situation I found that I was not the only person having the problem. Other a7iii owners had asked how to charge the internal battery and then Sony explained to leave the camera plugged into the charger for at least 24 hours. (I don't believe that this is covered in the Owner's Manual.) I have managed to charge-up the internal battery (at least enough such that the date & time is maintained for awhile) but I now question if 24 hours is long enough ? In late June (2025) I left my a7iii Camera plugged into the external charger for several days and 6 weeks later the camera still remembered the date & time (though the clock's accuracy isn't all that good) Does anyone have any evidence as to how long the a7iii needs to be plugged into the external charger to fully charge (as when the camera came from the factory) the internal battery ?

      a7rcii multiple, identical files

      By lew1716 · Posted

      a7RCII weirdness: Yesterday, after a few normally saved shots, my a7rcii began to record 3 identical images for each exposure I took. These were not bracketed in any way, all shot in AF-S mode, just 3 identical files with the expected sequential filenames. The metadata for each is the same except for the filename. Any ideas about what's up with this? I'll check the camera again later today.
