Weird Colour on the XL1s	Can't Post

Has any one found that the colour on the XL1s Pal is a bit weird.
I find in the shade and indoors its a little green and have to colour correct it.

I am about to hand it in to have the back focus adjusted and was wondering if any one has had the colour adjusted before.

I have attached an example

It probably would not hurt to have the color issue examined by Canon, as well as anything else. You do want to be able to rely upon the camera.

However, remember that the camera's auto and pre-set white balances are set to specific color temperatures, and that the light in any given area may well average out to a different color temperature.

You should have been able to identify this color shift in your viewfinder. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to perform a test to see if indeed you can see the color shift in your viewfinder. If not, repair attention is difinitely needed.

Good Luch\k!
