has anyone used the RC10G with the 300?
specifically, i'm looking to get into the matrix and/or create my own.
On my HPX300, I find that the preset white balances shift toward having a green cast. True white balances in the A or B channel look fine. (I'm actually seeing this same issue on another 300 as well, so I'm pretty sure it's not just mine)
With a Chroma DuMonde chart and a scope, I can't seem to get enough manipulation to eliminate the green through the use of chroma phase, chroma level, gamma and matrix selection.
While I know it's a sub-$10k camera, I'm wondering how to gain enough control over Green to eliminate the tint that I see in Preset.
Is it possible to manipulate any of the Matrix individually? Build my own Matrix?
Would the use/changing of the Lens Shading menu help? (under Lens Setup there is Shading Select with Default, User1, User2, User3 and Off but I'm unaware of how to create User files for the Shading)
Would a paint-box give me access to further manipulation? the 300 menus have a range from -7 to +7 - which doesn't seem to be enough, but i notice that the controls on the rc10 go from -63/+63. do they actually give this much latitude or is it limited to the -7/+7?
I like to be able to rely on the presets as I'm primarily an ENG shooter and don't always have the luxury of time to do a white.
