Matching CP and WB Settings on an XF105 and XF305

[David Dixon]

Thanks for the info, Andy

I completely agree on everything you said.

I still plan to be a stickler for custom white balancing, and also for making sure that highlights aren't blown out.

Another interesting weirdness - for a time I was using the Cine1 gamma, but one of the Normal gammas in Color Matrix. I got that from an older CP settings file that was posted here, and really liked the richness it gave the colors. But, after a time I discovered that it worked great in daylight, but only so-so in tungsten, and it was crazy under fluorescents or mercury vapor. For those latter situations, even when the whites were correctly balanced, skin tones went a sickly yellow that I could not totally correct without masking, etc. So, it seems that the "main" gamma and the color matrix gamma need to match or drama ensues.

Thanks again

gents, just to inform you that I have been able to match xf100 and xf300 without a problem using Sony Vegas 12 Colour Match FX
