    Anyone have a picture profile setting for interior shooting (around 4000k) with the standard EX3
    lens that will create a high gamma, high contrast, cine-looking image?
    Also, DOF, any lens you can suggest for the EX3 which will help create a shallow DOF without
    using a Letus, or adaptor.
    Thanks.

    Joeseph,

    Abel Cine Tech has a number of scene files on the blog sites.
    As for short depth of field, its tough with the EX3 as its so fast. I try 2 different things:
    Distance. Get the camera away from the subject and the subject away from the background.
    Light. Get that F-stop open as far as you can. Even if you have to use the nd filters. Its a balance there.
    How much light or how little light on the scene. Make it look nice with as little wattage as you can.
    I sometimes use the EX3 to B4 adaptor to use my ENG lens. It helps but its still a matter of light and lighting techniques.
