I also have had this problem. To fix it I turned the camera off, removed the card in slot 2 and kept the card in slot 1. Turned the camera back on. Turned the camera off again and re-inserted a card in slot 2. Turned on the camera and all was fine.

@milandro Thank you for your posting tips. I'm new to this and don't know my way around. "MultiQuote/Quote" don't know what they mean or how to use them. Anyway I wish I could return to the location to underexpose the photo by 2 stops or so but I was on a vacation. Thanks for your explanation. You raise a point that I will have to remember the next time I find myself in a similar situation.

Could it possibly have something to do with the angle of which I was shooting into the light? I should have tried shooting from an angle.

I even tried adjusting the Kelvin temperature while looking at the view in the LCD and I couldn't get the letters to appear red.

No conversion in LR. Straight out of camera. Thanks.

How does one overexpose a color in one section of a photo and have it not affect that same color in other parts of the photo when taking the photo?

Very familiar with shooting in RAW and processing it. If I shot it in raw I would have had to change the hue and tint and it would change the whole photo unless I made a selection in Photoshop. This still wouldn't suggest what causes this situation in the first place.

I did not use a flash. It was too far away anyway to make a difference anyway. I thought it could have been a white balance issue also so I tried them all to no avail. The fact that the reflection is the correct color makes this confusing.

I'm using an XT-1 with current firmware and 18-55mm lens. I'm shooting a colored light display and the color doesn't come out right. The reflection of the display off of the water in front of it is correct but the display is not. I tried different white balance settings but it doesn't change. I don't think it's a WB issue. Any ideas? See the attached photo. The lettering is red but it appears yellow. It's correct in the reflection.

I notice that when I try to use the Q Menu on my X-T1 the rear dial does not adjust anything. It used to adjust the individual settings. Did I change a setting someplace? The front dial does nothing either. Any ideas anyone?
