Jack,
I did this quick and dirty and do not remember I think I left it on auto focus. On the rain clip I did that all on manual. If I remember more I post another reply. Thanks, Bill Oh, I left out the scene that shows I-95 running through the middle of it. :-(

Tariq, have you tried using warm cards to get a richer look? I'm really surprised you're struggling to get a likeable picture out of the XL2, I had just the opposite impression when I started using mine, I think the picture quality is great.

Ash,
I have shoot on Sunday, and I showed the director some footage with this preset in 30p.He loved the look and wants me to use it.I'm also bringing my FX1 as a second camera. Any idea on a tweak for the FX1 to give it a similar look? By the way, I also used this preset inside in questionable light, and when I got home it looked red/orange (though it looks great in decent light or outside).I shoot with the fu-1000 viewfinder and don't have an on cam monitor, so I couldn't see the colr,etc till later. Thanks Bruce Yarock gamma-cine knee-high black-press color gain-2 clicks higher color phase-1 click higher green gain- 1 below center blue gain-1click higher set up level- 2 below master ped-2 below color matrix-cine |

Jack,
Unfortunately I didn't, butI did some testing at home. I white balanced inside the house and tried my custom preset, and two others, with both auto wb and manual.Regardless, the custom preset was darker and a bit more red/ orange either way. I tested the default xl2, a custom low light preset, and the cine-saturated one under the same conditions. You live in a great area...my sister is in Princeton Junction.I miss the northeast.

Bill,
That shot of the hummingbird on the fence wire was great as well. You really got a good shallow DOF on it. How far away were you? |

How do you change these settings on a xl2, like the gamma? do you need the remote to do that or can you do that in the menu on the body? 'cause I have an xl2 at home at the moment, and I just don't seem to find these options

Here's a page worth looking at for a quick guide to where everything is in the menus - and it's right here on DVi, thanks to Chris Hurd.
