I recently bought a used Powershot sx30 is on ebay to replace my old Kodak 712. The Powershot was obviously a fancier camera when it was new but I am wondering if there is something wrong with mine (maybe the reason it was sold) aside from arbitrarily zooming in and out when not asked to at random times, or refusing to focus at times, or getting stuck in the fully zoomed position so I have to turn the camera off and on again, the thing that really bugs me is at times it changes the color of the scene in an extreme way.
Let me show you.
Here is a photo I took with my old Kodak of the iris Aristocracy. Everything is the proper color
Here is a photo my powershot took of the same iris. At the top right hand corner you can see a small bit of the iris in its correct color
It doesn't always shift in the same direction. Sometimes it shifts blue, sometimes magenta.
Has anyone else had this problem or is my camera SNAFU?
