A6300 EVF/Monitor showing wrong colors

[MusiX]

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.

Do you have the viewfinder brightness adjustment jacked

up ? That controls both the EVF and the Monitor alike.

[MusiX]

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.

??.

Try shooting in manual mode, manually set everything including white balance.  See what happens then.

 

Maybe there is a setting stuck somewhere.

 

Also turn focus peaking off, or on and then off again.

@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 ;-)

[Austerror]

A reset of your camera should not be too hard.  Might be worth trying.

[Golem]

Yeah, the reset itself is easy. It's restoring all

your personal preferences that's a big job :-( 

 

Go thru all the menus first. Write it all down.

Tedious but whutchagonna do ?
