Newbie question; Why is photo and video so bad

[Jwm351]

Hello, I just bought my phantom P4P used and have been flying during the day with a lot of sun light. My video and pictures are horrible. There is a blue tint to everything and I'm not sure why. I have some filters ordered and that may be my solution, but I thought I would ask this group for any newbie advice. I paid up for the P4P so that I would have AWESOME pictures and video a lot like the folks are posting on this site. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Jwm351

Even when facing away from the sun? What settings are you using for the pics and for the videos?

How about posting an example?

I totally appreciate your responses to help me solve this! Actually the only thing that was wrong is that I touched the settings, lol. I had seen a youtube on best settings and had changed the white balance to "cloudy" and never changed it back to auto or sunny... Finally had a nice day yesterday and on auto it worked great. Thanks again!!!

I would suggest you use either Sunny or Cloudy when shooting. The reason is auto will keep changing the WB as you go from different lighting conditions causing the image to darken or lighten. When set to sunny or cloudy the WB is locked so your videos will look much more even toned as the light changes.

makes perfect sense to me. Thanks again!
