Colour problems

Hi

I have a kind of camera related question.

I have shot some footage with my new Canon HF100, and it is great. The blue colour is shifting a bid during some of the clips. Zooming in, paning and zooming out again can cause some shift in the blue colours as you can se on the carpet in theese 2 screendumps.

Could it be that the daylight is mixing from a window to the right with the indoore ligths, and camera sees it different during pan/scan/zoom? And is there a way to get rid of it?

Thanks.

On your camera can you just set the white balance and leave it?

Once you have it, you could fix this in Vegas by using the color correcting effect and key framing it.

Does the white balance shift suddenly or gradually in the video?

Also, cause farss has me thinking about lenses, there seems to be chromatic aberration when you zoom in. I get this with my cameras as well.

Hi Kairosmatt

Thanks.

I can set WB manually and leave it - could try this.

The shift is only in thoose kind of clips from the front with zoom and pan.

I have from the same day a 25 min. long clip from another place in the church and there is no shift at all.

I think the shift in the other ones could have something to du with sunshine comming in the window, and the cam picking up "wrong" light and shifting betw. adjusting to indoor and outdoor light?

And then again - it's a 1k$ consumer cam... but still love it :-)
