GH4 For discussion; nicely shot skin tones and discussion around how he obtained them.

I've been using these exact settings with portrait photo style, except I set hue to 0. Otherwise it was too green for me. The saturation and skin tones are getting really close to what I was used to with the Canon 7D.

Here's a little video I did with these settings, no color grading, shot with a Nikon 28mm Ai-S F2.8 coupled with a Metabones Speed Booster. I am convinced that this is the best wide-angle lens Nikon has ever designed, and these settings change everything for me with the GH4. Having hightlights set to -5 produces a great roll-off, so much so I was overexposing some of these shots by 1/3rd of a stop and noticing it glow like film does (I have shot super 16mm quite a bit and would use this trick to get it to "glow").

These settings wouldn't work in every situation, but I love the straight-out-of-camera look and capturing bright blue skies or bright overcast days. I would say these settings are gold for that.
 
That looks great. I love the look AiS lenses create with digital sensors. I have been using these settings a lot and really like the look.

I tried it on the LX100. It lacks the hue control, but otherwise: same-same. I haven't tried the GX7

I'm trying to reproduce these settings in my GX7 and LX-100 which don't have a Hue setting. I am finding that the skin is looking OK (although a bit pale - might just be UK winter?) but the lips are quite pink/purple. I think I can adjust Hue via the WB adjustments. Should I be adding +1 or +2 green to balance the pink cast?
