I just recieved the Sony A7 III today and it has this weird blue/green tint on the LCD

[jlim01]

Everything looked fine and after playing around in the settings, I noticed this tint on the LCD for everything. The viewfinder sees everything normally. Anyone know if I may have just clicked something wrong in the settings? Really hope i don't have to send it back since I need it for a trip next week but its starting to look like its defective.

 

Thanks

This is how different it looks between the viewfinder and the LCD. https://imgur.com/a/ao2Hr

Maybe it's the AWB struggling with the artificial lighting. Try using different white balance settings. Also, check if you enabled some picture profile setting.

Factory reset, and if that does not work then send it back.

It has to be defective. I concur, factory reset and if it looks the same, it goes back.

 

I'm having issues with my 7iii also, but my EVF and screen look the same as far as tint. Something isn't right.

Yeah, do a factory reset if you're not sure which settings you changed.

 

However it looks like It's the computer screen reflection that is blocked green. It's similar to what you get if you shoot under fluorescent lighting, especially if it is out of sync with the camera.

 

So, if I were you, I would reset and try in normal daylight before sending it back.

Dang. I ended up doing a factory reset but it is the same. The tint effects the way my previous pictures look in the LCD as well but when I imported to my comp they looked fine.

 

So yeah looks like LCD is defective. Guess I can still take on it my trip next week and send it back afterwards haha. 

 

Thanks everyone!

You're gonna rely on a new camera for a trip ? 

  

I'm not the least bit superstitious and I would 

NEVER do that .... 

   

But, best of luck to you if you persist in that.
