November 9, 2012 at 5:22 pm in reply to: Color Matching between XA10 and 7D and/or T3i

Even though you have all canon cameras, which help, you have a CMOS sensor and DSLR sensors, so it’s never going to match perfectly.

You should be able to match your two DSLR’s by using the same lenses, like 2 L-Series lenses then match your white balance the same as well as F stop, etc.

The XA10’s CMOS will interpret light differently, so even though you match the settings as close as possible, it will still look differently.

It helps to take a series of static shots in different lighting and do a practice shoot with all 3 cameras pointing at the same subject. Adjust your settings on all 3 camera to get close to what you want, then do the same by tweaking the adjustments, keeping a log of your settings. Then when you go to post, you can see which setting give you the best results, thus giving you a guideline for future shoots.

There isn’t one answer that you can get to solve color grading. It takes experience and time to really know what settings and adjustments will work best.

I prefer using a 14mm canon L series with IS.

For a heavy camera, yes, they do help with stability. Your head is probably more of a factor. With DSLR and a rig it still isn’t heavy enough to make much difference.

I think he meant SandDisc : )

Sand Disc are very reliable and you should be able to find the one you want.

If you want to do it right the first time, you have to spend a little money. Roland has the best Pre-amp out of the portable recorders, but you pay for it. The R 26 has the same pre-amp as their more expensive units. It’s all about the pre-amp!

Are you using an L-Series lens?

I only have issues when I crank up my ISO to 1600. But sometimes, if your Fstop is too bright on the camera, it’ll cause some issues.

Use your auto focus button to lock in your focus. Also use your magnification button to check your focus.

October 29, 2012 at 5:25 pm in reply to: Canon 5D Footage much darker in output

yeah, if you push the black color to much it can look bad in SD. This is pretty standard for all digital camera files. If you are not going to produce HD content, then you’ll need to back off a little.

But, if you do want the option to publich in HD in the future, by all means, grade for both.
