A bit Purplish?
I had the oppurtunity to work with the XL H1 last weekend, being a XL2 owner, I wanted to love the camera, but it looked a bit purplish. Has anyone else noticed this?
It didn't matter if I tinkered with the cine controls, white balanced manually or automatic, or even had the setting dail control on "A" or the green square, subtle purplish in the highlight tones. WTF? |

hey R.W. what were you monitoring off of? I've seen that purplish tinge in highlights (or anything white really) in monitors as they start to go south or if you're using an adapter to an lcd. (I've seen the opposite way, with a big green shift as well) I just wonder fi it was maybe whatever you were looking at and not neccisarilly the camera. Unless maybe it was in an ultra contrasty area and you caught some fo that notorious Chromattic abberation (or whoever you spell it)

The other issue is that when you are very close to the monitor, you'll find the standard 20x lens makes edges to spread to magenta/green lines especially close to the left and right border of the image. Such an effect, however, "fits into the specs" meaning the idea is not to watch a video image next to the monitor. This is also a lense dependent effect, and it is interesting to see, whether the new wide angle lense coming out in the very near future is better in this respect. |

I really hadn't noticed too much purple fringing for the forst 10 months of owning the camera. but recently i was in NYC and while I was up on top of a building getting wide shots on a tripod there was most certainly a bias towards purple in the bright sky and clouds mostly towards the upper left of the frame...
bummer -Jon
