I have a problem that has developed and ruined many photo ops. For some reason many pictures have color over satuation, (greens, reds and blues) making it look unnatural. I first noticed the problem about 6 months ago when some of the pictures blue offset from the pictures. Now some of the pictures show green in sunlight. I've tried resetting the white balance, but nothing seems to help.
I have same camera with same problem. Color balance is messed up in same way. I am looking for a master reset if there is one.I have same camera with same problem. Color balance is messed up in same way. I am looking for a master reset if there is one.

Re:
It is definite CCD chip problem. If you are within warranty period, send it back quick. They probably replace with other unit because the parts are not available for the product. Good luck.

What program are you using when you "develop" these pictures. I would recommend paint shop pro for all your photo/image editing needs. Once I have more information I can assist you further so please don't reject my help. Thanks, Lee
Image quality using default factory settings is awful. Colors are
over-blown, faces are washed-out, and highlights are cropped. People on
the internet compained that there is no brightness control -- there
is..but its hidden in a menu. Press the Setup button on the remote and
move to the "System" settings. I've found these settings produce a
fairly correct balance of color, detail, and brightness: * Brightness=5 * Contrast=1 * Saturation=2
Use Epson Photo Paper, and set your printer to "best" quality.
I could help you better if you would:
1. give model of printer
2. tell me what paper you're using
3. what the problem is with your photos.
If the message Change Imaging Unit Magenta displayed refer to imaging unit with contents a developer.The Imaging unit life is 80.000 copies. The imaging units located after front door when is located the waste toner box. If the message M toner end/change the M toner displayed refer to toner cartridge The toner cartridge life 15.000 copies 5% saturation.In full color mode the color saturation is 80% and the color toner life is 6.000-8.000 copies. I think your problems is a toner not the developer.
Yes, the soft color saturation and soft focus are major shortcomings of the SP800UZ. On previous SP series camera one could adjust both the color saturation and sharpness before taking a photo.
You can't. The FE-280 always captures in color. You can convert to black&white using just about any photo editing program on the computer, and this is the recommended procedure, as you have more control over saturation, brightness, etc. And, in the event a UFO lands and Bigfoot steps out of it, you'll have color pictures to sell :-)
there are 3 reason if the copy gray & less sharp:
1) the toner you are using is not compatible very well with the cartridge unit if you changed other compatible toner.
2) the cartridge going near the life-cycle, (also cause print blurred)
3) the photo drum going near the life-cycle
you may try to change the quality toner (original factory). or
change the cartridge if it is out of the life-cycle
This camera takes pictures with a Ppi of 72. That is why the pictures look huge on the screen. To get good quality prints you need to have at least 200 ppi, or even better, 300 ppi.
Or, the contrast of the pictures may be to low. I have an FZ7 too, and I always tweak the contrast and color saturation before outputting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. images straight from the FZ7 are generally low in contrast.
2. Pictures that are low in contrast might not look too bad on screen, but when they are printed they will look slightly greyish.
Here is an example of the problem.
I have same camera with same problem. Color balance is messed up in same way. I am looking for a master reset if there is one.
