Fuji X-E1 White Balance Concerns

Thank you for your help. I have read comments from a poster that suggested I may not be capable of using the camera. That is annoying and wrong. I am a working photographer, have full frame Canons and L lenses. I shot same scene with 5DMII AWB nailed it without issue.

So after reading about the different film emulations I decided to try again this using Provia/Standard as it states general purpose use. The settings on the Camera were AWB Provia/Standard sharp+2.

The image on left required AWB shift of +4Blue to get the scene correctly and the image on the right is no AWB shift. While the Provia without shift looks ever so slightly better than Film Neg Standard without shift, it still is way off in every regard to color. The entire image in good light is yellow and you can see the blue sky now looks a tad greenish due to mix of yellow with blue.

The image on the left is an exact match to what my eye sees. I have a correctly calibrated IPS 100%RGB pro monitor and my prints match my screen.

So the question is... Does my camera have an issue? I will need to test same scene at same times with a friends X-E1 to see if his camera produces same results in provia not AWB shifted. If not, I am for sure owning a camera that is not functioning properly. I have seen beautiful images OOC of multi color city scenes from others that have no yellow cast.

Provia Left AWB shift +4 Blue and this image matches the actual view I see - Right Provia no shift
