Pictures with green/blue tint after restart?

I've recently set up my ESP32 cam to take a jpeg every 5 minutes and send to a webservice. Additionally, I use ESP.restart() once every 24 hours as I have found that it helps keep the thing from hanging up (I have not yet found the root cause for hanging up).

The issue I'm having is that after restarting, the pictures will sometimes have a green/blue tint to them. This does not happen every time a restart occurs, but if it does, the tint will persist until at least another restart happens. Pictures below for a comparison.

Am I missing something crucial in the camera configuration that controls this? Something with the sensor?

Also, I have noticed this with several different ESP32 cams, so I know it's not a faulty module.

Thanks!
