CRAZY CRAZY STUFF, GREEN BLUE MAGENTA YELOW, SOmethnig realy worng here

Never mind I think it's just some intense denoise going on in the jpeg compression.

Do you mean jpeg vs raw, if so, one is heavily compressed while the other don't, and if you are comparing a still with video well that's another thing, video frame is usually a lot smaller. 1080p is not even 2 megapixels.

@larsarus also did a time-lapse in raw format with full manual settings, and he has needed to increase exposure in almost dark areas. He got the color shift that makes underexposed areas flickering.

It looks like this is a common problem and not specifically related to my GH3 camera.

@larsarus I think that for many "common" timelapses this problem may be unnoticeable: the color shift is evident only in underexposed/darker areas, and if you do not need to increase their exposure, you probably won't even notice it (that's the same for landscapes with lots of light). I have done several timelapses in the recent past, but I discovered this problem only after doing timelapses in places with wider dinamic range that needed exposure to bee increased in shady areas.

I am doing some tests now too see if this may be related to specific ISO value.

@leonbeas, I think you are right, I should try to contact them. I am also interested in understanding if this issue is a common problem or only a problem with my camera or editing. Because of @Maxr tests, it seems that he can replicate this issue too, and this make me think that this could be a common problem for GH3 users. It would be interesting to see if some more GH3 users can replicate the color shift like Maxr did, but maybe not too many of them are interested in using RAW files for timelapse.

I have tested Rawtherapee, Capture One and Apple Aperture with a timelapse in srgb and one in adobe rgb: I can confirm that color shift happens even with these all applications. It looks like that the shift is always noticeable, but depending on the application it's color is different. But, no matter what color is it, the shift ruins every timelapse.

I really don't know what's the reason causing all this trouble. The camera? The applications? This issue is going to make me crazy.

@maxr

Looking at your pictures, it seems that the color shift reason is releated to the Adobe applications. I can clearly see that your two raws opened and edited in Lightroom have a noticeable difference in color, the right one is more green. I'll try some more comparisons tomorrow to confirm this.

@larsarus

I have already tried resetting the camera (setup>reset), nothing changed. I can't find any other ways for resetting the camera.

I don't remember exactly if this issue was also noticeable with firmware 1.0. I have started using RAW for timelapses only in the last month, before of this I always used .jpg so I can't say it for sure.

@maxr

In the RAW timelapse tests I have done the setting were: 1) i.Dinamyc OFF 2) i.Resolutuon OFF 3) electronic shutter OFF (I also tried a timelapse with electronic shutter, and the color shift was still there) 4) Long Shutter NR ON (even if on, all the timelapses with the issue have been made with a shutter speed 1/40 or higher, so NR doesn't even activate) 5) I tried both Shading Comp. on and off with no difference

You are right, the colors shifts from green/blue to magenta, and in my tests I have seen that this shift sometimes corrupt lots of images in a time-lapse, sometimes only a few pictures.

I also tried changing "color space" from Srgb to AdobeRGB (rec>Color space), but looks like this has nothing to do with the color shift.

I have tried Capture One anther time, an it looks like that this problem is less noticeable! I will check the RAW files with this application some more time to be sure.

@yellowapple Have you tried "Reset" in the Setup menu, or any other kinds of camera resets? (maybe there's something in the diagnostics menu?) Did the issue start with firmware 1.1 or did you notice it for 1.0 as well?

@yellowapple

Do test only inside with artificial lighting. As outside all this can happen naturally due to clowds.

I have my camera updated with the last firmware (1.1) and the lens too are updater with the latest firmware. I have done around 10 different timelapse tests today and the issue is always there. I tried changing the interval with 2 seconds, I changed WB with the preset onces, I tried changing lens again, I tried using electronic shutter. Nothing changed. Some photos are blue/green compared to the others. It looks like (but I am not sure about this) that this happens when you you use quick shutter speed 1/50, 1/00 etc. If you want to do a test, you need to take a timelapse in a place with light and really underexposed objects at the same time (use black objects for the test). If you have this problem too, you will notice some green/blue shots, especially after increasing exposure for the darker/underexposed objects.
