I have two FX1s and 1 Z1 and have recently found that there is a colour difference between the two FX1s!!!

I do have a UV filter on the FX1s - so that might be something which may make the colour slightly different? It's only a cheap £2.99 thing off ebay which I have used to protect the lens really!

Attached is a picture so you can see the difference between the two FX1s - you can also see the Z1 is the same as one of the FX1s!!

Thanks for any help,

Tom

They can't POSSIBLY be set to the same colour balance setting. Were they on auto Colour Balance? Or set to the CB presets?

(You realise you're going to get Tom H after you about using UV filters as lens protectors, don't you?! :) )

We use Z1s and FX1s together and always do a manual white balance using a grey card never any problems.

Does that mean you don't white balance each cam?
