It's no longer under warranty, and if it were, this would certainly
qualify!

I'll look into that. Heck I have Vegas 6, and maybe that has this
ability. I just discovered the problem and have not looked into every
feature of Vegas.

Using the "LoLux" (higher gain) feature definitely makes it worse as
you'd expect. There is a manual white balance procedure which I can
tinker with although it is not as comprehensive as in higher end
cameras.
Repair is probably quite expensive, and the usage is not all that
critical, so I'll check into your software suggestion. I will call JVC
out of curiosity and see what they say.
