At different lightning situation I have the same yellow/cream color cast on my photos

DSCF0375.jpg

DSCF0372.jpg

this is what happens when I recover the exposure on lightroom
BEFORE
DSCF0391.jpg

AFTER
DSCF0391-2.jpg

and this is compared with a properly exposed photo

+1 or 2EV

Did you overexpose on purpose?
Did you shot jpg only? If so, how was the white balance set in the camera?
Does this yellow tint consistently appear over all photos you've shot so far?

-yes I overexposed on purpose

-no I shot jpeg + raw, but the cast appeared on my camera's screen so I assume it's on my raw files as well.

-white balance was set to auto

-yes it appears on all photo, I don't have an overexposed photo without a yellow cast
 
Had a look at your exif, auto WB, sRGB, standard film mode and everything else seems left to default. This doesnt look right to me, might be worth emailing a couple of files to your local fuji repair centre?
 
What film setting do you have it on? RAW, Velvia, high contrast etc. could that be your problem?

Fixed!!
I'm so relieved I thought I had to go back to the store and fight with the korean vendors lol !
the so called "provia standard" settings from fujifilm is just pure crap, they WILL cast a slight yellow color to your images.
I tired the Pro. Neg. Std profile it diminished the effect but it was still present.
so I went out of my way and used sliky pix, checked out the raw files, adjusted the exposure, and not even the slight color fringing !
by the way, the dynamic range is >INCREDIBLE< a huge upgrade from my 5D2
so I learned a few things
The camera screen does not show the raw file, but the filed processed under fujifilm's crappy "film emulations" all over exposed film emulations will have a yellow color cast up to some extent pro neg std being the least.
there is apparently no default way to save jpegs, all jpegs have to go through one of the ****ty film emulations, provia standard isn't actually "standard"
Finally & thankfully the film simulations do not affect raw files

umm... Provia mode is just basically a fairly flat jpeg file. It shouldn't make a yellow cast or anything like that - that's usually white balance's job - are you you don't have your wb fine tune scaled to be warm? My x100's provia setting is actually pretty good although a little flat in contrast. No strong color casts of any kind though...

Also all these photos are overexposed pretty badly, do they have the same yellow cast when properly exposed?

Here are some astia jpegs straight out of cam from my x100 -

As you can see there's no strange casts at all.
 
Raw files have no color cast. There is no color temperature in the raw data.

The initial rendering uses the color temperature computed by the camera, or one set manually before the photo was taken. You can't render an image without some color temperature selected. Often the default temperature is close, but it doesn't mean anything.

The whole point is with raw the color temperature can be changed afterwards with no consequences. With JPEG the further the set temperature is from the optimum temperature, the less likely you will end up with the best possible result.
 
anorphirith - RAW files are raw captured data. No processing. Jpegs are processed in-camera. RAWs are processed out of camera and are infinitely variable in post production software. Didn't pay $3550 on a camera to process your own files? You sound lazy or not aware of post processing procedures. Willie gets it.

Glad you figured it out. Have fun.

I've been processing every single decent photo I've taken for years. what I meant is that I don't want to correct a major error of the camera everytime I develop a photo.
Now there is no reason to call me lazy or start being aggressive here.
 
I have had this cream/green phenomenon on the RAW files where the highlights have blown out. Instead of a white out, I get this strange patch of colour. I reasoned that it was something to do with the Dynamic Range, as when I drag the DR slider in Silkypix down to zero, it disappears.

I have had the DR set to auto recently, but I have now set it back to 100 to see what happens. Haven't had a chance to try it yet though.

Each channel varies in its ability to deal with bright light sources and so they get blown out at different times (red goes first). Sounds like what's happening is that you're getting partial color data off the sensor.
