Color Accent and Color Swap

Hope this helps!

Advanced: Color Accent To Shoot with Only One Accent Color (the rest in black and white): Turn the mode dial to SCN. Use the arrow directional pad to select Color Accent. User Guide Press SET to edit the accent color. Point the window at the accent color and press the left arrow on the directional pad to set the accent color.

PIP means the set uses either two tuners or a dual tuner--could be a issue with the tuner. If it has a swap feature in the PIP use it to see if color when tuner is switched from main to PIP tuner.

A possible way around the issue is to look to see if rear audio/video inputs have color---you could route signal from a box etc to one of those and BYPASS the problem if rear inputs do not have this problem(not likely they will).

Once you select the color accent you should see the word " menu" in the bottom left hand corner of the screen with a down arrow next to a picture of a tube of paint. This means hold down the menu button for longer than a second, then you can adjust the color to be accented in your photos. Any time you see the word menu and the down arrow on the screen it means hold the menu button for longer than a second for more options/setting adjustments.

'Washed out' sounds as if the pictures were over-exposed which could be caused by settings which have been altered, as you said. It should be fairly easy to set the camera to 'auto', which will override any unusual settings in the 'manual' mode and be the simplest way to deal with the problem. Naughty girls!

*Color Accent & Color Swap

i dont know how to change from color to black and white. how do i do that?

That's called the "color accent" feature. Press Function button, then select the Eyedropper icon with an "A" beside it. Then press Function again.

Now press the Display button. This brings up a cursor in the center of your screen. Point the cursor at an object with the color you'd like to keep, and then press the left button to select it. Then press display again to exit.

When you're done trying color accent, remember to set it back to Auto by pressing the Function button, then selecting the Auto feature.

We just solved this problem! Rotate the wheel button (above the Display & Menu buttons) to see the various option (Color Accent, Color Swap, Compact, etc.) and stop when you get to Standard.
