When I playback files everything is tinged with blue. Where in the camera (G1W) is the colour adjustment and what needs to be done to make the picture normal?
Brian.
 
there's no colour adjustment in the camera, if you mean the sky appears more blue than actual this is normal, post a screenshot from a recording if in doubt

No not the sky, but mainly trees, especially the outer leaves which go quite blue.

I wouldn't say that was normal, can you post a full frame screenshot?

This might not open. I don't know how to attach a photo, but an email address would be easy. Are you known in ATI Electronics or anywhere as Jokiin?
 
doesn't open, you can attach a picture using the Upload a File button down by the post reply button (bottom right)

I use the same user name everywhere, not sure what ATI electronics that you're referring to is though

The upload a file button does nothing when pressed. I have contacted Dashcam to see what the go is.
As for ATI Electronics when I get your posts under your name and under 'Location' there are two, Shenzhen, China and Sydney, Australia. These are a link which when bring up a Google map and a list of companies, one of which is ATI. Beyond that I know nothing.

using a popup blocker? a box opens up to allow you to choose a file to upload

The link is just a Google thing, AIT is just something that's shown on the map for whatever reason, no connection to me at all

I have made exemptions for dashcam in Popup blocker but still no joy, I also went to "options" and tried the upload button to no avail.
 
upload the picture somewhere else maybe, dropbox, mega, mediafire etc and just post the link to download
 
If you're talking about white balance, my G1W-C lets me change white balance when in photo mode and the setting also applies to video. I like the cloudy setting for daytime and auto for night.

There are many different firmware versions with varying menus so this function might not be available on your unit.

With the power on, press the record button to stop recording if necessary, then press the mode button until you reach stills mode (camera icon in the corner). Now press the menu button once, then press the down button until white balance is highlighted. Press record to enter the white balance menu. Press down until the desired setting is highlighted, then press record. The new setting should be saved and the menu should close. Now press the mode button to return to video mode followed by the record button to begin recording. Hopefully your camera will now function as normal but with a warmer colour cast. This setting should remain until you change it again.

Keep in mind that the white balance will no longer adjust itself automatically to changing lighting conditions because it can only do that when 'auto' is selected. It might be worth selecting 'auto' in white balance and testing recording just in case it's currently in a different setting, causing your blue cast.

If the process I described doesn't work, it's likely that we have different firmware. Good luck

My copy opened OK. I've made a screen shot. Now I'll try to attach it.
