Hi,
Currently playing around with a new Zacuto EVF. Now, this is a very noobish question, but I'm a noob -- is there a particular method to adjust colour on EVFs so that they match camera output? Some sort of colour chart to use in concert with white balance, for instance?
Is this just me, or have other people had this problem? The colour of the image on my 5DMkII's LCD seems very different from the default colours on the EVF, and seems better to reflect the colours I get when I open the video files on my computer. No doubt every camera has slightly different biases and quirks, but I've found, for some reason, that when I pump up the blue on the EVF, this better corresponds to camera output (at least as judged by whatever I have my computer's monitor set to). However, I'm having trouble getting a precise match up.
Is it just trial and error?
Is a precise match up to camera output even possible?
Incidentally, here's an older thread on the EVF:

My initial review thoughts -- false colour and monochrome are wonderful for helping with exposure; the fact that you can use pixel-to-pixel zoom while recording is sometimes handy, though I'm finding I still use the x5 and x10 focus assists on the camera much more frequently; the new frame store feature is potentailly very useful; however, I don't find the focus assist peaking that useful, for similar reasons as the older thread mentions, and am also a bit concerned that I seem to be able to focus better with Z-finder and LCD than Z-finder and EVF (although increasing brightness and contrast on the EVF to maximum seemed to help with my ability to focus). Not sure why this is...
Any help very much appreciated. Thanks everyone!
