Hi Folks,

I'm having a serious problem with my S414 and am trying to find out whether this is a problem with just my unit or all S414 cameras.

When I use the RC-3 remote control to trip the shutter with the exposure being set to 3 seconds or longer, the image comes out with a strong blue cast and very unusual looking noise in highlight areas.

Check out this link for samples:

My question is: (of the folks who have used the RC-3 remote to take an image with this camera's shutter speed being set to 3 or 4 seconds) who here has and who has not experienced this kind of problem?
