Any suggestions please, I have just finished a shoot using my canon XL1S. The shoot was in a all white studio (wall, ceiling and floor) it was lit using three 500w quartz halogen lights fitted with diffusers. When viewing the end result it is apparent that the colour of the background was cycling from white through to a pale green and back to white over a 45sec-1 minute cycle, the change is so subtle that we did not notice it during the shoot, but it is now painfully apparent. The only other time I have seen something similar was when shooting in an office environment under cheap flourescents (I learned a lot about the decay features on flourescents after that debacle) however there were no tubes on in the studio.
Camera settings were, exposure and shutter - manual, ND - off, stabiliser -off, focus - manual, and white balance - interior light, (I am not sure but I suspect that may have been the problem. The camera has only recently (within the last 5 hours) been serviced by Canon
I am going to try shooting a white wall with different settings to see if I can identify the problem, but has anybody experienced anything similar ?
Other than this the camera has perormed well.
Best Regard
