C100: C100 Profile to match 5D Mark III stander profile

Hey Guys,

I just picked up a C100 and a Ninja 2. After years of using 5D Mark IIs then 5D Mark IIIs it was a breath of fresh air to not sync or process footage pre editing. I can't tell you how much I like just dragging and dropping ProRes HQ 422 220 on a hard drive then beginning to edit.

Anyhow, I have been using 5D Mark III in Standard profile. I had used the Mark II in neutral, but have liked the Mark III in Standard. I did a test and felt the C100 has more of a magenta tone, less contrast, and less saturation when using the EOS Standard profile. I completely understand shooting cine and very flat, but for
the bulk of what we do, I want to nail it on set and then do a slight black drop and tiny tweak of the highlights, maybe a slight color shift and be done with it.

With that said, does anyone have a good setting to match 5D Mark III standard. What do you guys do to keep it simple on those kinds of jobs?

I am just getting started with this camera, so I may change my mind. I shot one test, a day for a documentary film, and a day for a BBC show. Everything looked good, but seemed to need a little more adjustment than my 5D Mark III footage. I'm not loving the LCD monitor. I actually liked the LCD on the back of the 5D Mark III much better.

Thank you,

I hate postproduction for events/low budget weddings.

so I have successfully matched C100 with mark 3, but its WDR with neutral (mark3, contrast &satuation all the way down). C100 only shifted toward magenta & red (its greenish by default on C100 dont you see? )

I don't shoot weddings or events, but I do a lot of interviews and documentary work and am very comfortable color correcting, I just don't want to have to do any serious color correction on these kinds of jobs. It may be I find it magenta as I try to shift and match the C100 to the 5D Mark III. I'm just using FCP 3 color wheel.

The C100 definitely shows more detail and you see all the pours and blemishes on someones face.
