Blue images on K3 II

Hi,

I just wonder if any of you have any idea about the phenomenon I have come across today.
I was taking photos in the Planica valley, Slovenia, with a polarizing filter on. After reviewing the photos there were some (4 out of cca. 50) that were completely blue. They were sharp, but as if with a complete blue filter on. I shot in RAW+ mode, had fast SD cards (Sandisk 32GB) and was shooting with K3 II. Sensor? The temperature outside was about 0°C, but think this was not an issue as I was shooting in -6°C early this morning without a hitch ...

Currently I dont think of this as a problem, but am opened for your views on this.

Thanks,

Marko

Did the raw file as seen on the PC look the same?

I've gotten funny colors in JPEG files due to the cold before, but that was with non-sealed cameras. Even when this happened, there were never any issues with the raw file.

Could you have gotten white balance mis-set by accident?

Well ... I have found out what was the problem, heh ... I have mistakenly changed the white balance to Tungsten light ... Yibidi-yibida, That's all, Folks!

Sorry for stirring up things

EDIT: Rondec, Adam, thanks for the input

It happens to me all the time. My big nose hits the WB button on the back of my K-3.
