Photos Seem Too Red On Display Screen: Is there a particular cause for this phenomenon?

1. Although I haven't experienced it, the "excessively red" phenomena has been discussed a lot in "Sony Talk" forum at DPREVIEW website: Search for the term "oversaturation," at either dpreview or Google it (both lead to the same discussion thread: currently 50 entries). 2. The "Manual" that you referenced is merely a starter version, with little useful info (only 20 pages in English); instead, the "User Guide" is really extensive, and comes on CD with all HX100's inside the BOX. You can also access the online version of the CD (and save it to your computer), via Google search: "Sony HX100v user guide" (select the .pdf version, as most easily readable). It's 274 pages, but convenient to save to desktop and access as you need it: Read it in small chunks, practicing with the camera, and reading some more...I've read the .pdf version twice, and still refer to it. My best advice is to read the vast number of discussions at dpreview, in the "Sony Talk" forum, to LEARN from the largest collection of online owners of the HX100v: I read it daily for info on use of features, and to see photo examples of what others can do with this camera. The really avid new owner will go to the trouble of searching waaay back in Sony Talk, to discussion pages in June or early July, when the camera was still new...and vast numbers of discussions focussed on specific camera features. Think of it this way: Most everything that an HX100v newby faces has already been discussed at length at dpreview!

Thank you very much for your response. I was beginning to think I was the only one with this problem. Your explanation is probably correct. I have had two other digital cameras and neither had this problem. I doubt if much can be done about it...

It's definitely a deep red in real life and in the picture on my screen. Perhaps your screen's color settings are a bit off. And I love the peeler/slicer. Sure does speed up the job.

I also thought the 870 images looked grainer on the LCD screen in the store. But this is because its LCD screen has a lower resolution. In fact, someone else wrote that the 870's photos look fine and sharp when printed or when viewed on the computer. It's LCD screen can deceptovely show the photos as a bit grainy if they were taken in low light.

Not too sure why this happens. Never experience this. The only reason that I can think off is when it gets dark the images are displayed by the infra red, night vision properties of the camera.

Generally, most hardware things do a lousy job of downscaling image size - you will usually get a much better result if you scale them down using decent software to the "native size" of the display before loading them. (I just bought one of these and haven't got it yet, but it might even make sense to see if it looks better with pix at 640x480 or at 688x488 (which Poldim says is the res of the samples they provide).

My pictures turned out clear when I used this film. So my only answer is it's probably your camera. If not, I don't know.

The pictures will display randomly, which was one reason I'm returning mine. I was unable to get mine to display in any consistent order.

If you mean the screen on the camcorder itself, I do not remember it being reddish. The final video recording and playback quality may still remain unaffected by this though, so you might want to double check.

I have had no problems with picture quality. I would suggest rechecking all of the connections, but I am sure you did that already. Sorry; I am the original electronic idiot!

Not that I can see. My pictures are the way they appear on the drive. I have had some problems with orientation, but I think I found the trouble...operator error. Some of the pictures because they are in portrait end up being small. But, I am no genius with this stuff. In any case we like the frame and would buy another.

Yes. I've printed from a light red to full bright red and a dark red. And, every one of them prints true to the image on the screen.

I have not seen such images. So far it's been a great monitor, although I didn't get the full max benefit until I started using DisplayPort cable (Mini-DP to DP). Then clarity, resolution, everything opened up.

The monitor has settings for different aspects. I have mine set to 1:1 so my photos will display properly. At that setting I lose some vertical size but it is a minor problem. In all other respects, I love this monitor.

It sounds like you've got the setting of the dpi low on the default new files or story files. Other than that, there's a utility called lion cache cleaner(used to be leopard cache cleaner), that can fix randomly odd problems, though if it's a setting, I don't know if it will fix it.

We haven't had the red issue but we have had the screen turn colors and the black vertical lines happen. The unit has cheap capacitors in them. If you can solder it is a $5 fix. If you canT and you buy the new board about $120 fix. Very easy fix though. Look it up on Youtube and you can see what I am talking about. Youtube instructions stepped me through it....super easy

Don't know if there's a fix(?). Mine has a very clear picture,better than most I've seen.
