Getting better color out of Sony DCR-HC90

Jan 10, 2006 5:12AM PST

I have a Sony DCR-HC90 camcorder, absolutely love all the features on it.

My only complaint is that the color seems really washed out on my recordings - none of the blues are vivid, everyone's face looks pale, very little red. Just generally very gray and not very lifelike or realistic.

Can anyone recommend what settings to turn on to beef up the colors a little bit?

Thansks!

The camera has different "programs" for different light settings try them untill you find the one that works best. John
