If you're using the stock detail setting I would reduce it for green screen work as per the suggested settings of Simon Wyndham:
"For this reason I would not recommend turning the detail totally off on the EX cameras. Instead I would suggest reducing the detail, for example to -20, and then adjusting the Frequency setting to, for example +40. The Frequency setting adjusts the coarseness, or width, of the edge enhancement. The higher the setting the finer and more subtle the effect is."
It is my understanding that the less edge detail enhancement you have dialed in the easier it will be for your keying software. The EX cameras are great for green/blue screen work anyway because you get consistent results, but reducing the the edge detail just makes the consistency all that much easier to obtain.
But don't take my word for it. The secret is to test, test, test. Compare the results and choose what works for you. Don't just decide on a picture profile that someone has recommended just for green screen work and then shoot the whole thing without testing first.
