Why did the picture go all-green for a couple hours? Why is it back to full-color now? I reset the camera several times while green-ing, still grn

Mine will Go Green on Alarm maybe every 8 days but does not stay Green. It will only stay Green for one picture out of 5 it emails on Alarm.

The only time mine goes "green" is when the camera gets confused as to whether it has enough light. At those times, it will switch to the night vision filter, making the image show up very oddly. It will stay this way until the camera decides that there is enough light and turns off its night vision filter, or that the scene indeed loses enough light that it looks the normal black & white infrared image on the screen.

I have not seen this problem. Sounds like it could be a technical issue, rather than your settings.

Michael is correct. I hadn't used my camera during the past couple of months. I had previously set my video resolution to "Standard," because my desktop runs on XP and couldn't handle the higher resolution. I recently got a new lap top and, just last night, returned the resolution to its original. I found that it's sometimes confusing as to how to get to what you want in the menu. Just be patient!

I'm thinking it might be related to the dark corner issue. I noticed more than one reviewer complained about this and there are photos posted up in the customer photo section illustrating this issue. I was going to purchase this camera myself until I saw this potential problem. For example:http://www.amazon.com/review/R1HXQU9INW3I2T/ref=cm_aya_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B005TGKX9S#wasThisHelpful

Well, the laptop bit the dust and I never used the camera so I can't really answer that question. I tried to get the laptop fixed but it is D.O.N.E. - cannot be fixed. It's headed for the trash heap. It was good while it lasted.

Yes. Send it back right away. The camera is faulty. Other than that, just to be absolutely sure go into camera settings and reset all to default before you make a final decision.

Same thing happened to me. The camera needs to be active, not just on. For example I have a nikon d3100 and the display/ view screen needs to be on. It has something to do with providing power to the card.

I had not tried that feature yet. I usually only leave the camera at its native settings for the highest quality. I usually edit the photos/videos after the raw footage is uploaded to keep the full resolution.

I agree that the pictures could use more color and now that i turned my camera on (had to double check) I see what your talking about. It does look grainy on the LCD prior to taking the picture Hmmmmmmmmm I never noticed that before..... Here's a link to check out some of the photos taken with the SD950 IS http://flickr.com/groups/ixus960is/ Some of these are very colorful. I probably need to learn how to set my camera correctly :)

Same problem here! After I opened the box I charged the battery till the light turned green. Put the battery in the camera, put the film pack in, the black film cover came out (so I assume I put the film in right), turned the camera on but all the symbols are blinking and I'm not able to make a picture. After reading here I put the battery again in the charger and now the light turns orange!! But I just took it out because it was green?!?! Now I'm just gonna wait till it's green again and see if it will work. Does anyone have any others tips for me?XO

Hi Mikieb: I'm sorry to tell you mine is the same during the daytime. I have not been able to adjust. It does show objects very well at night but during the daytime the only colors i can pick up are red, green and black. The other colors are distingueshed better than the black and white cameras, but not like watching tv. I havent been able to adjust for a clear color.

I'd try returning the camera, I returned mine a month after purchase. Just go to your Amazon account and click on returns...see what happens :) Good luck!

the yellow/green tint is a known issue with the projection mechanism. mine was fixed under warranty, which was extended by sony for this issue. I don't know if the free fix is still available. if you search your model number a bunch of stuff will come up. good luck!

I put on a full charge initially, and I believe that is what the instructions say to do. When you place one in the charger, the LED on the charging will be red until the battery is fully charged, then it will turn green. Make sure battery is placed on charger correctly, or a dead battery will generate a green light immediately, even though it is dead. If that happens, just unplug, replace the battery correctly on charger, and plug it in again. Works perfectly for me. My batteries were both red and needed charging when I received them, even though they had enough charge to power camera up right out of the package.

If there is not a certain amount of light the camera will automatically switch to "night vision" and thus be black and white. This is a feature, not a defect. If you have full daylight and its black and white, there is a setting problem or a defect in camera.
