My FZ50 is no longer working properly.

The problem began suddenly: now the images in the viewfinder (both the eyepiece viewfinder and the LCD screen which each have their own separate LCD) have a blue cast to them, and appear to be overexposed by about two, perhaps even three full stops, i.e., too light, lacking contrast and color saturation.

The recorded pictures seem to be OK, although the paranoia caused by the viewfinder problems have almost convinced me that there is a slight bluish cast there as well, but if so it is much less than in the viewfinder[s].

Always in the past the images in the viewfinder have matched up very well with the recorded pictures.

I have been through every one of the 50 or so user adjustable settings in the camera's menu structure and none of them can account for the problem which began suddenly, between one picture and the next.

Ideas? Suggestions?
