Chip Chart Color Correction in FCP7
-
I just checked the camera and it looked like correct color when I white balanced. Hmm, I wonder what is going on?

How did you record the media? If recorded externally, let’s say on a recorder through SDI or HDMI trouble shoot there, try testing media recorded straight on the camera. If recoded internally try a feed like SDI or HDMI. Usually those signals are straight from the chip and bypass any signal prossesing. You may be able to see a beautiful image on an external monitor and being recoding something different. I once was using a recorder through component and had a channel switched but the monitor compensated somehow and recorded something different than what was on the monitor.
Have you used the camera ever since? did it work fine or does the problem remain?
The more info the more likely you are to figure out what went wrong and maybe, just maybe recover the footage… well the color to the footage =)

I’m afraid you guys are right. So that means there is nothing I can do? And how could that have happened just by starting it up again? The camera seems to be working now. Does anyone have any idea about avoiding this in the future?

I’m a little late to this but really feel for you. If all else has failed I would try to save it by seeing if B&W is any better

Good idea. It was a funeral, after all. But luckily I was doing it for free, although it is disconcerting and scary in the future. I went forth and got the LCD screen fixed and that cost $432 for a cable swap compared to what Sony wanted to charge at $1,200.00.

I don’t think it did. At least I can’t see how the LCD could alter color in the recording. The guy who repaired it thought it was a white balance anomaly. It was too radical in my mind to be just an anomaly so I may loose sleep over the possibility of it happening again. But since I couldn’t trust the screen, I didn’t know the WB was off. I should have looked in the eyepiece.
