  Anyone seen this issue before

  Hi I am shooting cannon Mark 11 with a 1/ 4 pro mist filter and my images look like this:

  

  

  Any suggestions or setting I can use to fix this issue.

  Thanks!

  It’s not the filter. The problem is that you are shooting light that is highly saturated, and it’s maxing out the values available in the codec. It’s the equivalent of a bright sky clipping to white, only instead of brightness, it’s the color saturation that is clipping. Not much you can do about it–it’s a limitation of the camera’s sensor and codec. We see posts on here all the time with similar issues, and it’s always centered around live concert footage because of the heavily-gelled lights.

  you can remove color casts with channel mixer set to color transfer only, lens blur the highlight artifacts together, but there is no information left to recover. all you can do is make it less ugly.
