I have two PMW-EX1 camcorders. One was built a year later than the other so it
has a slightly glossier finish than the other. Both have a Tiffen T1 IR cut filter
and both have exactly the same settings (recalled from card) in all the
menus and the zoom, focus and aperture are all the same.
If I white balance to a card under studio lighting, one will white balance to 4700K
while the other goes to 5200K. If I do the same result with noon-day sun light outside
after stopping down and adjusting the shutter, I get roughly the same effect. One
camera balances somewhat bluer than the other.
The resulting video from the cameras doesn't quite match in terms of the whites.
Is there a recourse to get these cameras to match exactly or do they just
have fundamentally different sensors that I'm going to have to match using
PP or post production? Thanks,
