    Matching color from different cameras




    I own an AF100, HMC150 and a GH2 and occasionally want to use them in a single production. To assure that I have the best color match in post production, I need to capture an image from a good color reference chart on each camera prior to each shoot.


    Any suggestions on either my methodology or the most practical chart to use? Such as:

    X-Rite ColorChecker Passport (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc..._Passport.html)
    VS.

    DSC Labs Handy Camette Test Chart
    (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...est_Chart.html)
    Or

    ????

    If you are talking about "matching the color" in post production try capturing a Grey Scale Card as well and use that for color set up.

    Obviously the card should be in a fixed lighting situation identical for each camera to shoot.

    The grey card is an easy set up for a colorist who basically just needs to neutralise it ( equal RGB - wfm, vectorscope and RGB Parade) for each camera and that becomes their known reference point.

    I feel you will always be fighting the different cameras "looks" but good luck.
