Was doing multicam shoot last night with two 100a's and my 100p. Both of the 100a's had a nice crisp image on the viewscreen and mine looked a little milky white compared to their's. I noticed it before and have been able to adjust the contrast in post to compensate. Anyone else notice this on their 100P. My camera is about 1 1/2 old.

Milky as in no good blacks? If so, your pedestal may be set too high. Lower your pedestal setting and that should do the trick. You're probably just stretching out your histogram in post--pushing your dark grays back to black wherte they should be. Unfortunately, that technique produces gaps in the histogram and slightly posterizes the image. You can usually get away with it, but it's much better to capture footage with a full dynamic range.
