Camera makes me appear in blue, green, pink, purple pixelated weirdness--not normal picture in the slightest. Lemon, or is there a fix?

No, mines is like yours, no hd...This is a poor quality camera and I still have problems with it tilll this day. Sometimes the color will not even come in and shows black and white.

I had the same problem and sent in for warrenty work. Its probally not your imagination, mine was defective and they replaced the auto focus sensor. Now its easy to get crisp photos without vivid mode even. Ive had lots of olympus cameras and this was the first problem Ive ever had. they repaired the next day tehy recieved it and sent it back to me a day later. Im very happy with it now. It should be easy to get a crisp photo with this camera. Hope this helps.

When you say the colors indoor were off, it sounds like a white balance issue. I assume you weren't using the flash at the time. When you look at the professional reviews for your next camera, see what they say about the white balance accuracy. Also look for a camera that lets you create a "custom white balance". A higher end camera can saves images in 'RAW format' will also let you more easily correct the image later on your computer.

This is not normal. I've had no problems or complaints with this incredible camera. Return it. But get another one.

Hi, problem probably came from the flash memory card, you may try with different one (fast one like San Disk Ultra II or Extreme III). If you still get banding on images, then it's the camera, you should return it or exchange for another one.

Oh gosh I wish I could help. I don't even have the same computer anymore, so I no longer have the zip file. I do remember spending 2 days to get it straightened out. I would buy a new camera before going through that again. I see some good deals on newer cameras. Good luck!!

Thomas, I have the same issue. The settings taken from CNET look god awful. Movie mode looks particularly heinous. It places a sort of grey/green film over the colors and the picture. Dynamic seemed to be a better mode for me. Contrast 100/ Brightness 45ish/ Sharpness 0/Color 46/ Tint 50-50/Color tone Cool 1

Thankyou! I haven't used my camera in several months because of this same problem. I followed your suggestions. It took a few tries, but it is now working!! Just in time for Christmas!

The images are in color, but due to the type of sensor, not all of the colors will be correct. Often times green grass and leaves look purple and pink.

I think you might need to adjust your screen settings; I'm not seeing a pink tone in the picture.And mine showed up Ivory, as the description says.

Try turning "Deep Color Output" in the video settings to "Off". Seems to be working for me...

I didn't own the camera for long. The camera malfunctioned before I could install it. They have little to no help avaliable. The colors seemed to be a little darker,but not washed out. I hope this information is helpful .

I'm having this issue, too. Camera seems to get confused and the whole frame becomes blurry rather than focusing on the one object. It takes several attempts to register what I'm trying to do, and then it's too late - opportunity has passed and subject has moved. Time to really study my manual I guess or maybe this is a shortcoming with this camera.

Sounds like it may be a bad camera. I have no idea why it would be doing this. Did it function correctly before? If so, it may be going bad.
