Blue tint on outdoor footage

[David Battistella]

Try to white balance the camera to the outdoor light source.

Also.

if you put the camera in preset mode and hit the WB button on the front of the camera you will see it switch from 3.2K to 5.6K When it is set to 5.6K then it is preset to a white balance for outdoor (daylight) sources. You are probably shooting everything with the camera set to see white as a Tugnsten source.

Here is a good primer on light temperture. You have to tell the camera what color it is predominately looking at. It does not adjust like the human eye. You have to tell it. You are looking at daylight now. You are looking at tungsten now, etc. Sometimes there is an acceptable mix.

Thanks for the help, I know it must be frustrating, but I’m still a newbie at this sort of stuff!

Not at all. We’ve all had to learn and teaching reminds us of what we have learned.
