    We recently got some new Sony DXC-D55 Studio cameras. I have experience doing basic color shading on cameras and setting up my scopes. These cameras have many more options and tweaks available than I’ve ever worked with before. Obviously I want them to look as good as possible.

    Are there any types of training manuals out there or people who train on these types of things. All the training I’ve gotten in the past has been by people showing me how to do it and on the fly. I know how to get my RGBs set along with my Pedestals, but areas like Gamma, Flare and the such are foreign. Even if I knew what exactly to look for when I’m adjusting those would be very helpful.

    Thanks.

    Jake,

    A very valuable resource for learning/upgrading your camera shading skills is finding a local freelance or staff video control operator.
    These guys are making a living at shading cameras, and most would probably be willing to answer your questions, and possibly let you sit in sometime when they are setting up their cameras.
