Re: Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra dng colour cast

The symptoms sound just like the symptoms on Leica's first digital camera, the M8. Shadows had a magenta cast that was difficult and sometimes impossible to remove without ruining the rest of the image. The problem was the camera did not have a proper IR filter. It recorded light outside the range of visible light.

If a shot was not ruined by IR in the shadows, you could get fine images indeed from an M8.

Leica's solution was to give customers an IR filter. Maybe you want to try holding an IR filter over the lens. At least you could find out whether IR is indeed the problem. Not much of an elegant fix, though.
