Matching Colors
 

Hi,

Can someone please tell me what would be the best way to match 3 GL2 colors? I have bought 3 of them and one of the camera's color is a bit pink.

Please help me.

Thanks

How pink are we talking? If it's way off, send the camera to Canon.

Assuming the problem is somewhat minor, here are some things to do/check:
1) Are you white-balancing to the same object on all 3 cams?
2) If so, maybe shift the color phase a tad toward the green on the cam with the pinkish color.
3) If the problem persists, just fix it with color correction in post.

Assuming it is not just a white balance issue, can you correct it using Custom Preset -> Color Phase?

If you have FCP I would use the scopes in the Capture window. With your reference camera's FW signal, bring up the vectorscope and waveform monitor, take a screen grab, and A/B that with the FW signal from each of the other two cameras (manipulating the in-camera settings, to the extent that you can) until they sorta match. Just one quasi-scientific way to do it, if you don't want to trust your eyeballs. Just remember to save those in-camera settings.

Post capture, this is almost the exact same method employed in SONY Vegas too.

"Proving" a draft-finished video - audio, sequencing and CC - is one of the jobs I have to do. But getting it kinda on the button to start with ain't a bad idea! Less work!
