  • Ever try to white balance 3 or 4 EX1’s to a common source?

    …last week I did.

    Once we had two EX1’s on a shoot and could not, under any circumstances, get them to look at the same white card (from a similar position) and get within 300 kelvin of one another…

    Then, later in the week we had 4 of them…reasonably well lit…large common white target…we could get all 4 grouped within 500 kelvin of each other, but that was it…

    I believe we had the same profiles in each one…(I set several of them up…another DP set up several using the same settings).)

    I am stumped… It seems odd that I couldn’t get ANY two to match up…it’s wacky.

    Can anybody tell me what the deal is?

    Hi Tim-

    Craig [Seeman] in another thread (just giving credit where credit is due) suggested that it could be a firmware upgrade issue with the EX1. I believe he was saying that if different cameras have different firmware versions, the white balance may not match. Hopefully he’ll chime about this 🙂
