a6000 issue. Blue halo on lights during long exposures

Hi folks,



tested my brand new a6000 today shooting long exposures at night (as I do a lot). The image artistically is crap in itself, butI wanted to see how the camera compares to my old camera (Canon EOS 600D).

Basically everything was better apart from blue halos around some of the lights in the image and those are equally annoying as they are distracting.

What am I dealing with here?



Settings

16-50 mm @ 50 mm

f/5.6

30 s

ISO 100

Long exposure NR on.


Bule 'halo'

You are dealing with a horridly overexposed and unfocused image here. What would you expect?

Bit harsh but I have to agree. You're shooting the kit lens full zoom wide open I'm guessing chromatic aberration and exaggerated by being out of focus and over exposed. If it in focus and exposed correctly it might be automatically removed in camera or easily in post. Next time same shot/setting but try 35mm F8 and manually focus using magnification. See if things change.

Actually that's probably still over exposed you may want 15 seconds or faster even.

But the A6000 does (not so) funny) things with blue highlights in jpegs. I see the same 'blue' strangeness on a friend's head where some party light is shining at him. Blotchy.

Maybe IDK I've never seen it. Could be the glass and not the camera.

I would like to check it out on my own screen and hopefully give some insight
