“clean look” HD settings
I have an HVX200. I’m shooting a simple tight shot on a clean white background of a hand pressing a red “NO” button and a green “YES” button.
I want to shoot it HD with the cleanest look possible. Any recommendations for camera settings to best achieve this?

What does clean mean to you?

you know……no “noise”, no gain…..kind of like the Mac spots?

#1 way to get a “Clean look” like an Apple commercial is to light it as well Apple does, without great lighting video will suffer. Gain is not a look, it is a setting, when you gain up you add noise, so don’t gain up.
Camera’s sweet setting is 720p.

Ok there you go- if clean = low noise/grain then use a waveform monitor to make sure you have nothing in your frame under or overexposed. And light to a decent stop without any gain or detail dialed in.

thanks guys! I think I’m squared away on my lighting and gain settings, but are there any camera menu settings or presets that you guys really like for good looking skin tones against a white background?

Nothing trumps a good monitor because every skin tone and lighting setup is different, there’s no one size fits all.
