Strange Red Hue on images

Hi, I just got my new M10-P and took a few test pics.  However they are turning out with a red hue and not very sharp.  Any ideas please?  I attach an example of just the DNG opened in PS and converted to jpeg due to file size issue here, but the hue is still the same..

 

Thanks in advance

Stupid question: did you leave a red filter on the lens? 

Second, reset the camera to factory settings, set it to auto-ISO and AE and try again.

Holy molly, that’s not a good first impression.  You shouldn’t need to reset a camera out of the box.  Dear lord.

Dear paulsydaus,

Based on posts from senior users in other threads, you can be accused of trolling. Be careful 🙂 .

btw I agree 100% with you. Reseting a camera out of the box...silly 🙂 

They shall advertise it: Reset is not included in price of M10 🙂

This is not peculiar to Leica cameras, it happens to Canon. Nikon, Sony etc. etc.

Dear Matlock,

 

I agree. Can happen to every manufacturer.

Quite; your dealer should do that on their pre-delivery check - but Leica buyers have this strange fetish about unopened boxes. 🙃

hmmm looks like I started something here :).  It's working perfectly now, but I must admit it's a first to have to do that.

No, it's good to air these little hiccups. As I said earlier it happened to me and the camera had been checked out by Red Dot. It can happen to any digital camera and a friend of mine had it happen to his Canon and, that too, had been checked out by his dealer.
