Orion Starshoot 5mp Imager - please help

Hey Skygazers,

I am a total rookie in astronomy. I joined in 2010, but have only really started down the rabbit hole, so exciting its ridiculous.

I am currently using and Orion Astroview 120st with a 2.5 Barlow and I have a 25, 10, 6 and 4mm eyepieces. Also a neutral and blue filter.

I just picked up the Orion Starshoot 5mp camera today from another Ice in Space user(thanks John) and its working which is great.
My problem is that I can see Jupiter through my eyepiece, I can see the bands and the moons but as soon as I attach the camera, the colour of Jupiter changes to this yellowish circle...you would think I was looking at the sun
I tried adjusting colours, saturation and every other dial but the image does not refine. Also I couldnt actually take a photo.
John did warn me that it would take a while to work it all out, feeling a bit lost really.
Honestly any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys xx
