Watch On The Wasatch

[Alice]

The Jupiter vids are plagued by a bluish tint, the cause of which remains a mystery, but are eminently watchable nonetheless.

The white balance setting on your camera controls this. I downloaded the videos and changed the white point, which make it look a little better.
Here they are if you're interested:

I also used iMove to add in a little image stabilization if you like these better:

Ryan, thanks for this info (including editing software). Whooz was using my camera because his died. I like it because it fits in my pocket and has automatic, semi-auto, and manual controls. He dislikes it because it is hard to hold and it is too easy to accidentally get to those non-auto settings. I also have trouble holding the camera steady. A tripod works well, of course, but I haven't found one yet to carry on a train. I'll be looking at after-the-fact image stabilization like you used.

We had been wondering what turned those videos (and several others Whooz didn't post) blue, and now I know just where it happened. I don't think Whooz is going to use my camera again, but this info tells me what I need to do to prevent that particular error if he should.

So thanks again!
