Advice for the DXC-M7 Camera?

[sdsw4]

After a year of troubleshooting, I finally fixed my Sony DXC-M7 camera. Turned out to be a bad oscillator that threw me in for a spin (didn't think VCXOs could go bad, but this one did). Sadly required the sacrifice of a perfectly good DXC-151A, but it wasn't in vain.

The camera itself works fine. Actually is a breeze to work with while shooting and feels like a lighter (subjective) but more advanced DXC-M3A.
But there's just one problem: The color balance is atrocious! Unlike the M3A, if I'm not shooting in broad daylight or with space-heating halogens, this thing simply won't balance well.

In the above, illuminated with a 150w equivalent 2700K LED. Camera was in the 3200K filter, then auto-white balanced with +9dB gain and component captured. Despite this, I still had to post-color correct just to at least make myself look more "correct" and not look like a lobster.
Meanwhile, the M3A: hit white balance and it's perfectly balanced on the first try.

With that being said, it's still a powerful camera. But that color balancing is a problem, which leads to the actual question:
For those who have had experience with this camera, what are best practices for using this camera in different environments? The manual gives best practices, but rarely do I expect this camera to be put into "best practices."
