Crazy Color Space

[mikeburton]

Here's a new one on me. The other day on set I had a rental camera that began acting strange. When I assigned the user 1 button to be "View Raw" I noticed inconsistencies when I toggled the preset button back and forth from REC709 (my programed color space for the day) and Raw. Here's what I was getting,
Rec709 looked like RAW (desaturated, basically Raw) Raw appeared as Redspace (contrasty, saturated, 1 stop over my set exposure) and Redspace appeared as Rec709. This was quite apparent shooting on an all white background and colorful Red and White wine bottles in the foreground. I tried just going into the "View" Menu system of the camera and toggling between the different color spaces and this continued to happen.

Mind you, I had re-installed the firmware earlier that morning, black shaded etc. Earlier that morning I found the camera giving us a really bad green tint with build 20.1.6 so I downgraded the firmware to 20.1.3 and the tint went away but the functionality and Color Space issue still remained.
Anyone had a similar issue like this before?

I had an issue with a camera on a shoot in Detroit - I believe it was Build 20.1.3 - where when we tried to reset the cameras to "default" - for some reason the green tint was cranked and we had to manually adjust that.

I have noticed other people posting here and there about it. I have never experienced this on my camera - and it only happened on one of the two cameras I was using in Detroit.

Best bet is to manually go through every menu if you see something fishy.

I did see something similar - it was after an install of Build 20.1.3 (up from 17). I reinstalled, rebooted and that fixed it - never saw it again.

The green tint or the color space issue?

All the settings were correct (stock) and the Green tint went away after going form build 20.1.6 to 20.1.3 but the crazy Color Space issue still remained.

That is strange.
I thought the green tint might have been making you think there were color space issues.

Like I said, this was a first for me. I own a cam and have had a quite a few wars with these cameras over the last two years now but have not seen this particular issue pop up. Very odd.
