In the MAC system, I installed version 5.9 and above. After testing, I found that the color cannot be displayed when the image is closer, but only white. Is this a bug or does the new version need some settings? I present this in the attached videos and images. Look forward to your help!

Looks like normal issue with your dataset, please share it.

Your dataset is very small and this is causing issues with the rendering. Use a transform filter with 1000 scaling in all axes to workaround this issue.
