Another problem we faced whilst filming was the matter of the one of the cameras White Balance setting, which whilst filming gave all of the footage a light blue tint. At first the problem seemed to occur from just the setting being wrong however the camera was set on the correct White Balance setting for the weather and light conditions we were in which meant that the actual problem was with the cameras software instead, meaning that the camera was set at the right white balance setting but couldn't read it correctly, something which we had no knowledge of until after filming so it was something we couldn't change during the time.
These shots show how although the correct white balance setting was used the cameras internal reader couldn't accept it so the shots came out with a pale blue tint throughout the filming. This problem only occurred on one camera however so only a small amount of footage was affected by it although it demonstrates how using the wrong setting can alter how the image will appear. For future tests this will need to be avoided so the consideration of checking the cameras settings beforehand would seem appropriate, in order to ensure that the cameras white balance settings aren't incorrect again.
