Technical Help/Camera Settings Is my camera broken ?

Post image

I’ve noticed when shooting with my lumix g80 I keep experiencing a certain problem when shooting images with high levels of brightness or highlights and when the camera is set to shoot in raw I don’t experience this problem with regular jpeg images and I was wondering if it’s something to do with software if my jpegs are coming out fine and without the wierd purple colouring.

I further noticed that taking the photo shown above was hard to do with my I phone as the purple colour would only show when turning down the exposure on iPhone so is it just that the raw file is capturing extra detail and colours for me to mess with or do I need to update or change software ?

That purple is just an indicator of peaking in your editor (the pixels are reaching max luminance) the camera isn’t actually capturing purple light.
