Photography experts? Item photo problem | Selling

I recently bought a new Kodak Pixpro FZ55 for item photography. I don't like using phone cameras because I often need to shoot with one hand and get close-ups of details, and I don't find phones ideal for that type of use. Many of my items have a shiny chrome finish, and I'm having problems with purple glare on the photos as shown in the attached example. My old camera (Fujifilm Finepix V10 from about 2007) never did this. I don't know much about photography, and I'm wondering if there's anything I can adjust that will eliminate this purple effect. I understand there will be a bright spot in areas where the sun reflects, but the purple blobs are a distraction from the item. Any tips from someone who knows something about cameras would be helpful.
