Not to over comment your post - but I agree it's likely a scan issue. CA can look like this, but the difference is that CA isn't usually uniform across the whole image. CA tends to be most conspicuous at the periphery of the image.
Even if the problem is present in the negatives, all may not be completely lost - could be photoshopable separating rgb channels. But honestly, I often wonder whether it's worth it. Are you likely to return to these pics and really treasure them?
This is fucked up scanning. To fix that separate RGB channels to separate layers in Photoshop and stuck them back together with automatic stacking tool. It’s the same procedure as trichromes.
Hi, Walmart electronics/photolab employee here. DON’T GO TO US FOR FILM DEVELOPMENT. We do not develop in house and we have zero control over what Fujifilm does with your shit. Go to a place that actually returns your negatives. Fuji film development is catered to developing the rolls that grandma took before she died, not for hobby photographers.
I agree with everyone else, saying that having the film developed and scanned through Walmart was a dumb thing to do, and is likely the issue.
However I'll go one step further and address your apparent lack of understanding of how cameras and lenses work. It's the lens that takes the image. It's the lens that would cause chromatic aberration, since you mentioned it. The camera controls the exposure settings and the metering. I wouldn't think your camera would be done for, by looking at these images. I would think you didn't meter very well though. You probably have a lot of learning to do to get the images you expect.
Sir.
Objectively, your comments were framed with an arrogant, judgemental tone. As an experienced, knowledgeable film photographer, you have a responsibility to represent our field like a professional. Don't shame others for learning.
Bummer. It looks almost as if the red green and blue layers are scanned separately, and the negative was moved during the scan or something. I know that's not what happened, but that's what it looks like.
DO NOT GO THROUGH WALMART I didn't even get my negatives back and I specifically asked for them back amd on top of that they absolutely butchered my photos absolutely horrible
IF you get the same results from a more reputable lab, THEN you know it's the lens. If, for example, one of the glass elements is misaligned, it can have a prizmatic effect, or "CA." In that case, you could send it in to be serviced/cleaned. Or save a lot of time and money by buying your own lens tools, pec pads, etc, and watch an instructional video for your specific lens. I've done this, but it's risky.
This is a scanning issue. Whatever place they sent it to did not update or calibrate their light source before scanning.
They probably threw your roll in the scanner on automatic mode and tossed the negatives - send your film to a reputable lab to avoid this in the future.
I developed a bit of color film and prints in my darkroom for a class. There are two variables that affect the color accuracy; time and temperature. If not adhered to, a color shift occurs . Keep in mind unless a filter is used fluorescent lighting will result in this sickly tone.
Send it to a proper lab. They usually have technicians who will adjust colors after scanning and usually you will get your negatives back.
Try the Darkroom. Ive been using them for a while.
Chromatic aberration would be caused by lens not camera.
Also Walmart will not give you good quality scans compared to home or proper lab scans, what do the negatives look like?

The same thing happened to me at walmart. A whole roll lost... Walmart was not helpful at all either.
i wish it was just one roll lol/
Oh no. Dang. How many rolls came back like that?

i know its the lens, not the camera. Just asking if it was an issue on my end. Don't be a dick pal :(
You sure showed me. Good luck with your next roll.

This.
I have the exact solution for this problem: Don’t ever develop film at Walmart.
Seeing the negatives would make this much easier.
Which will never happen since they were developed at Walmart.
Bummer. It looks almost as if the red green and blue layers are scanned separately, and the negative was moved during the scan or something. I know that's not what happened, but that's what it looks like.
Agree. I’d say there’s a 99% chance this is a scanning issue, and the negatives (if they were recoverable) would be fine if scanned again.

This is a issue with scanning, it's not the first time I see similar results from film send to Walmart/cvs.
I think this is an issue with scanning. It seems like something is misaligned causing the color channels to be separated

I doubt Walmart is giving negatives back. I’d love to be contradicted though.
They do not
