Yes, heed the words of both! I just did some extensive side-by-sides for the DVD, and like a fool I set them on preset white balance, and the result is footage that does not mix well at all!
I'd previously matched the cameras using manual white balance, and you can get them *extremely close* -- but don't use the presets or your footage will not match.

Interesting thread. It makes me wonder if I don't need to white balance after each lighting set up. I never rely on the manual settings.

Probably. And, since it only takes a few seconds, it won't hurt even if not necessary.

In the old days I used to use everytime in auto, now I just do everything manually. I just got used to it now.

[quote author=gtb link=board=Events;num=1098109503;start=0#6 date=10/19/04 at 05:28:45]I hear that the 100 does not have the true electronic “squeeze” setting that was ADDED with the 100A. Is this correct? If so, it's a big difference and would seem adviseable to rent another 100A if we use the electronic squeeze. [/quote]
If you're planning on shooting in squeeze mode, then yes you should get another 100A, because the 100 does not have squeeze mode.
