please sharing your 7d and 5dii settings

Hi Gangs,

I'm moving over to video I would like to know what picture setting you guys have that give best skin tone and colors. I still have mine set to Standard like it was in still. Please educate me. Thanks

to get the widest dynamic range you're to shoot flat with contrast saturation and sharpness down to minimum. that way you can grade the color in post. if I don't want to color grade I stick with neutral. you can google about shooting flat and there are details about camera setting and profile editor for more custom look

Look at this from B&H

thanks guys

The more important thing than color profile, IMO, is white balance. This is one thing you need to grasp so you don't spend so much time correcting the color. Always shoot at a fixed color temperature, AWB is a no-no!!!

Don't forget to use your Custom setting to switch b/t sceneries. Plan ahead.

Great tips. By sceneries you mean sports and landscape, etc..?

In a single event occur both indoor and outdoor, it's quick to set your different WB and exposure setting to your Custom program/dial ahead of time.

got it, thanks

If superflat is beyond your scope to handle in post, try the marvels cine v3.4 profile. Version 3.4 maintains color fidelity better than superflat or neutral. I personally prefer superflat or extraflat from Eugenia's Rants and Thoughts blog. Then again I like color grading my images.

Marvels Cine has different picture styles for 5D and 7D, correct? Version 3.4 for 5D II and Marvels LOWc and Hic for 7D

hey Trey, what would you say is a good enough temp in your opinion? Thanks.

Recently, I shoot a lot of stuff at 4300K with 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6. I find the color to provide a neutral mood, no so warm/yellow or so cold.

WB on different lenses is also another concern and it's best to get the same types of lens. My lens set are not consistent bc of different make/model and I have to eye ball the WB when shooting with one than one camera.
