Picture turned black and white within an hour, came back to color once, and has been black and white ever since. Anyone know what to do?

You might have it on auto or night mode...in the app click the button so it is a picture of a sun for day mode which is in color

Don't have an answer for this one, but consider exchanging it with the seller?

I was able to play with the Advanced Settings in service menu, back light menu. The default is to bright, just play with it and it should correct some of the color issues,

Thomas, I have the same issue. The settings taken from CNET look god awful. Movie mode looks particularly heinous. It places a sort of grey/green film over the colors and the picture. Dynamic seemed to be a better mode for me. Contrast 100/ Brightness 45ish/ Sharpness 0/Color 46/ Tint 50-50/Color tone Cool 1

Have you already tried adjusting the GAMMA setting? Or turning off the BLACK TONE setting?Both can be found after hitting MENU/PICTURE/ADVANCE SETTINGS

If it is still scanning correctly, you should not have to re-install anything. You may have to check your settings if the original is light. Try setting to grey scale or darker setting.

Hi Marc, my machine plays color as well as black & white. I would contact the manufacturer and see what they have to say. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It sounds like the "backlight" in the screen went bad. if the backlight is going bad/dim, it will make colors look dull or washed out. However, if you think this is a software issue and not hardware, suggest you try to change your battery settings - change to maximum performance (instead of max battery) and see if that changes anything.

I remembered to push one of the button to adjust output format. You might want to try that to make sure the output format matches your monitor.

I have Sabrent HDMI connected up too S-Video in from a Laser Disc player too HDMI out too LED flat screen TV and the color is just fine . If this individual says they only get black and white it's possible they have a bad unit and should return it . If it were me I would try connecting a different input device first .

yeah sounds like a dead pixel. problem is if it's just 1 you're SOL. I had this issue with my sony lcd and Customer Support said that they'll warranty it for 15 or more dead pixels. Luckily my friend run a PC Richard so I exchanged it. If you look close and its the shape of a rectangle on a grid then it's a dead pixel.

When you say the colors indoor were off, it sounds like a white balance issue. I assume you weren't using the flash at the time. When you look at the professional reviews for your next camera, see what they say about the white balance accuracy. Also look for a camera that lets you create a "custom white balance". A higher end camera can saves images in 'RAW format' will also let you more easily correct the image later on your computer.

I've had this issue with numerous colors. Many times I go to "Paint" and create a solid black image. Close paint and title it "Black". Then go to a program like "Wordpad". Open wordpad and drop and drag the "Black picture onto it. Stretch the image out as much as you can.Now just keep printing this over and over until the color comes back. You may get the "Black cartage is empty" message, so hit the rest. If this fails, unplug the printer and let it sit for a while. This removes any of Epson's built in "Fake errors". These fake errors are designed to get you to buy more cartridges, even though you have plenty of ink. I've had this issue with numerous colors.

It did not happen to me, but if it did I would get the Sharper Image phone number for technical support and ask them. They should replace it for free if you bought it recently. I believe there is a guarantee. Hope it helps, Laura

The picture keeps swapping between white and black, but I only have ever received the white when the product shows up. Hope this helps.

I would suggest that you finish installing all 4 camera's and see what you got then. Check the connections. If there is not enough light it will appear B&W otherwise it should be in color

Go to the camera menu and then to settings. Maybe the brightness and contrast are too high. If not is not fixing it I would call Swann tech support at 1800 627-2799. they are open 24/7. If they can not fix it they will replace it if is still within warranty. Good luck
