Searched TMC for a relevant thread on the backup camera turning to a red hue at dawn and dusk. Didn't find one. I found a few threads about the annoying flicker caused by LED/DRL (which IMO looks like cop lights a lot of the time and nearly gives me a heart attack ) but nothing about the issue below.
It really just looks like someone put a red overlay over the backup camera lens, or the screen if that make sense. Does anyone else notice this issue at these times of the day? I'm wondering if this red hue is by design (e.g. like a 'nite lite' function of the display, like many laptops/monitors have or perhaps a weak attempt to improve night vision) or just a SW glitch/crappy camera.
It doesn't seem to happen with ample light, but I've seen backup camera flicker between red and 'normal' in shaded areas on a sunny day as well. If it's by design, it doesn't seem to work very well...and the red hue actually makes it harder to see at night (IMO).
