Does anyone have a picture profile that matches the basic color and black levels of the 5D or suggestions on how to go about creating one?

Thanks,
Warren Gentry

Hello Warren,

I have both a EX-3 and a Canon 5D Mark II. I'm about to do a television documentary using these cameras in just a few weeks. I'm in the middle of a test shooting right now. From what I've found out I'll prefer to go for the best possible "latitude setting" in the Canon to be prepared for the post-processing (color correcting). I've saved a preset for video shooting using the Neutral setting (as a start) WITH added lowered sharpness, contrast and saturation. I've also enabled Canon's Highlight tone priority to avoid crushing the blacks too much. I feel this user setting gives me the most flexiblity when matching clips.

Kind regards,
Terje RIan
