Select the Highest recording format and make sure the output is campatable with the monitor, I think it’s under Genlock for the output and set to 60i
Good Luck

I would try to move the profile you like from camera to camera.
If it doesn’t work It must have something to do with firmware versions as these cameras have exactly the same sensors and matrix setting.You may just find white balancing from the same spot on the set to get them close.

I had an issue with an EX3 lens and it cost about $900. Its going to cost you time away from your camera and hopefully not as much as an entire lens replacement like I had.

If you need assistance with exposure start using the histogram and set the zebras to 95-100 so you know what is starting to clip. A big part of shooting is setting the exposure manually to give it the look you want.
You should be able to correct the LCD color/contrast within the menu setting, however I have been on jobs with multiple like cameras and found many different looks from each of these EX LCD’s and the only way to know what we were really seeing was to use a professional external monitor with a vector scope.Also explore your Picture Profile setting for advanced gamma setting.
Good Luck

This seems to be a Windows solution, is there a Mac solution?

If you’re renting a camera you will want to choose one with SDI (or certain cameras with HDMI) and rent either a Nano Flash or KiPro Mini to record to, as this will allow you to go beyond the internal recoding limits of the camera. 4:2:2 at or above 100 Mbps is a good file for green screen.
It sounds like you want to use a single chip camera, I would choose either the Sony FS100/700 or the Sony PMW-F3 and together with and external recorder you will have very professional green screen video files.
If you are purchasing a camera then hands down go with a professional camera like the 500.
Good Luck

” I just heard some people couldn’t use the backed up files after the shoot and they hade a really hard time getting it together.”
Just imagine the originally recorded BPAV folder is a can of film or a video tape and preserve it as such. By keeping a copy of the original BPAV folder you can always go back and transcode for any NLE. The problems people have is by opening this BPAV folder and copying only what they think are the video files or transcoding from the media card and not keeping a copy of the original BPAV folder as their archive.
On another note all forums have a SUBJECT line for a reason, it is to search for answers before posting. When others after this post search for similar information and find negative remarks of hear say, it will promote a negative perception for an extremely amazing professional camera. Subject lines can also reveal the intelligence level of the person asking for information.
You definitely came to the right forum for “Proper handling of Sony F3 files”.
Good Luck
