If your camera consistently shows surfaces that emit light as green, it may be experiencing a color balance issue or a sensor problem. Here are a couple of potential causes for the green color defect:

  1. White Balance: Cameras typically have a white balance setting that helps adjust the color representation based on the lighting conditions. If the white balance is not properly calibrated or set incorrectly, it can result in a color cast, such as a green tint. You can try adjusting the white balance settings of your camera to see if it resolves the issue.

  2. Sensor Issue: In some cases, a malfunctioning or damaged image sensor in the camera can cause color accuracy problems. If the sensor is not capturing the colors correctly, it may result in an inaccurate representation of the emitted light. Unfortunately, fixing a sensor issue usually requires professional repair or replacement.

To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following steps:

  1. Reset the camera settings to default and see if the issue persists.
  2. Experiment with different lighting conditions to see if the green tint occurs consistently.
  3. Check the white balance settings of your camera and ensure they are properly adjusted for the lighting conditions.
  4. Test your camera with different lenses to rule out any lens-related color issues.
  5. If the problem persists, consider contacting the camera manufacturer or a professional camera technician for further assistance or evaluation.

Remember that specific camera models may have their unique quirks or issues, so consulting the camera manual or reaching out to the manufacturer's support team can provide more tailored guidance for your particular camera.
