Colour difference between video and still

I am flying a Mavic Air 2. On a very bright sunny dayI shot video and stills of the same subject. Camera facing straight down, The Video is lovely bright green (Garden and Lawns etc) The stills have a very blue-ish cast. I tried Auto and Pro but bother are similar. Can anyone suggest why this is happening .

Please upload an example picture and video so people can see what you’re seeing - rather than just throwing guesses at you :slight_smile:

As @PingSpike says, not seeing the issue first hand makes it difficult. But at a pure stab in the dark guess based on the information provided it’s not a case of you looking at the raw image instead of the jpeg is it? a raw image will need post processing to bring out the correct colour definition. as where the jpeg will do it’s best job of colour grading in the camera.

just a guess.

Have you checked that you have the same white balance set on video and stills?

Also What photo and video processing software are you using?

Members will then probably be able to advise how to adjust them both.

Thankyou all. I need to check a few of these things.


I have tried to show an image that has the blue cast? I am using iPhoto on a Mac

According to the exif data, the camera was set in tungsten light mode …

That will be most of the problem.

Try adjusting the White Balance, as per @Khump3 advised above.

Maybe move the slider to the right a little.

Alternatively, download SnapSeed, then tinker with the colours

I don’t have the Air2, but the fact that the exif states “Tugnsten”, I’m pretty sure it must have quick setting … Sunny/Cloudy/Tungsten/Fluorescent kind of thing. So it probably didn’t involve a °K slider, unless it was a custom colour temp … in which case the exif would state the °K rather than “Tugsten”.

Can’t be sure - but that’s my prediction.

Thankyou so much. I cant find how to change that.

This might help … and, surprisingly (to me) it does appear to be a slider. :man_shrugging:

Set it to auto, first (if it isn’t already), and see if looks a load better.

If it is on Auto, already … then I think there’s a far bigger issue.

I set the TouTube link to start where the setting is actually set.

If you can’t work out how to get to that point, then watching the video from the beginning-ish should show you.
