Incorrect colors

Mon Oct 31, 2016 1:40 am

Hello,

My camera module v2 is connected to a Pi Model B running Raspbian Jessie and motion. Randomly, some images it takes are fine, like this one:
goodcolor2.jpg
goodcolor2.jpg (18.23 KiB) Viewed 606 times
:)

But more often they are not, like this one. This snowy day is an extreme example, but most exterior shots have this problem.

:(

I've tweaked motion's /etc/motion/motion.conf many different ways, but to no avail. Suggestions for things to tweak? :?:

Does the same error occur when using Raspistill rather than going via Motion? Try setting raspistill up for timelapse to take a load of pictures over 1hr or so, and see how many have issues.
