I'm not sure if I would call my statement/observation about the "odd sensor behavior" a complaint,
But I did see the purple color in my camera's LCD.
It was just odd that the camera would go from taking fine pictures to taking purple (magenta) pictures 10 seconds later.
I have not had any problem since that time, or prior to that time.
On an interesting follow up to the raw files, I processed them with Capture One 4.1 later on my home computer.
When I adjusted the white balance with the auto setting, the program choose approximately 11,500 Kelvin as the proper white balance.
The photo looks correct at that setting.
So I winder if the problem is a white balance glitch that the camera was experiencing. I have heard about other white balance issues with FW version 4,
so perhaps that is part of the problem.

I was referring to the posters at Dyxum, not you Rick.
I know. I was the one that started the thread at Dyxum.

I just wonder if any other A700 users are experiencing any odd magenta/purple coloring?
So far everything is still working fine with mine.
I had the same problem with my A700 & SAL 18-250 lens combo and the camera stopped auto focusing. I sent the camera for repair and got it back yesterday. Sony replaced the CCD and tested. Its fine now....or at least for now.

Most of these kinds of problems are rare at first. Then later they aren't rare. Among various KM 7D problems I had mine also ultimately developed the FFB problem. Early on not many people had it, but over time more and more did.
I just got my A700 back from Sony because of the control wheel problem. I am holding my breath about this new thing.

Hi JSSorbie and welcome.
May I ask the following:
1- how much was your counter?
2- Was the lens new or had it from the beginning?
3- On how many frames did you notice that issue?
Ok. I have a friend with the A700 V4 who purchased a pro master TC.
He got exactly what is being discussed here. He sent me the files hoping that I could sort the problem out.
This only happened with the TC on,. By the way the lens was the Tamron 18-250
The TC has since been replaced without any further problems to date.
I'll see if I still have those files and if not, see if he has them.

Only a mention. It's CMOS and not CCD in the A700. I'm right?
