  • Matching Up Fs7, A7s and 60D

    Posted by Sascha Engel on January 18, 2015 at 6:02 am

    Hi Everybody,

    I will shoot in two days an item for the German TV.
    I have to match up my main Camera a SONY FS7 with two B-Rolls: a SONY A7s and a CANON 60D.
    What are the best settings on each camera that will bring them into the same ballpark?

    If I am not in the right forum with this Q, I apologize and would be thankful for a hint which one would be the right one then.

    Thanx a lot and have a great day,

    Greetings,

    A quick chip color chart recorded in front of the focus point will save you hundreds of post time hours.

    Wondering how this shoot went. I also have a shoot that will most likely feature the a7s and a 60d.

    The German TV Channel didn’t even bother for much grading, very basic only.
    But all three cameras match up amazingly well.
    I was positevly surprised.

    Good to know. Thanks for the response. Which picture profile did you use for the a7s?

    Don’t remember, but I think, we had on the FS7 and the A7 S-Log and on the Canon Wide Dynamic Range setting.
    I can check though.
