Re: Purple Smearing w/K-5IIs

One other thought looking at your k20d shot it shows heavy artificial light though the k20d has WB'd to daylight hence natural light appears clear but the whole image is badly underexposed and has a red tinge to it.

If the heavy artificial lighting is present in the k5iis shot then it pretty obvious the camera has balanced to it as there is no cast , hence any natural light will have a blue haze except where over exposed where it will be white.

I'd go further and state it looks like the image has had it exposure altered such that the oculus was just not clipped even though in the taken image it already was, This will lead to colour shifts in and of itself.

Do you have the raw ? or was this how the camera chose to process.?
