Hi,
I have the following problem.
Suddenly the white color is being shown  as green in camera display and
record also seen as green,  all other colors look strange also. Here is
the sample (on picture the hair should be white)

I did the white balance regulation and this didn't help. Any ideas?
Thank you very much!!!

It seems very likely that your camera is broken.

I agree. Apparently, Blue has gone away. I mean it looks like the
circuitry for the blue signal has failed. It could be on the detector
or anywhere in the chain from the detector to the final digital
encoding...

Thank You.
The interesting thing is that them I make a black-white recording
everythink is OK, white colour is really white.

That's no surprise at all. It is done by removing all of the color
information out of the digital representation *after* it is captured by
the detector. There's no color information left in the picture to look
anything but balck, grey, and white.

If you were to examine the grey scale, however, you probably would see
some oddities. For instance, some colors would be darker grey and
others lighter grey than you would normally expect, like the difference
between panchromatic and orthochromatic film. Ha! who is there on this
NG who remembers that!
