Whoops. What have I done to the ZWO290MC?

Hi all,
I've been using the ZWOASI290MC for a month or so with no issues but tonight everything is in b&w after saving. On the screen everything is fine but on playback b&w only and there seems to be a weird low resolution mask over the top too. I'm stuck.
Does anyone have any ideas please? I've copied the settings file below too.
Cheers and thanks
Geoff

Looks like the Bayer matrix, i.e. the frames are not being de-Bayered and are b/w. The preview is de-Bayered (option Debayer Preview=On) so it looks OK.

Not sure which option to change to fix it, perhaps "Colour Space=RAW8"?

Change the Colour space setting from RAW8 to RGB24 in the drop down menu . I also have an ZWO290MC and had a similar problem with RAW 8 and was advised to try the RGB24 setting and it works fine, just play around with the white balance to get the most pleasing colour balance.
