Help with settings...

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if you guys could help me out with some settings. Here's the deal:

I'm testing out a 100a this week (Borrowed from a friend) to get an idea of what this camera can do. I'm embarking on a feature film & I'm trying to find the format to shoot it in and I am 99% sure it'll be a 100b in the 24pA mode. Up to now I have used the sony VX2000 and filmlooked it in post with Graeme Nattress filters, which look great. But, it's time to upgrade. So, I was wondering if someone can list the settings I can experiment with to get that 'rich, saturated' typical filmlook? As of now I have no idea what each setting does as I'm brand new to this camera. When I eventually shoot the film, I'll be going for more of a unsaturated, "matrix" feel. Thanks for your help & I can't wait to join the family! :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

Peresonally, I would shoot it in the default setting, properly lit, accurate white balance, and worry about color correcting in post. If you mess up the footage that you lay on tape, it's messed up forever. Take a look at Magic Bullet.
 
Agreed. If you already know that you're going to mess with the footage in post, I'd shoot it straight. The presets are very good.
 
mjmcneese2, good point. Do you mean the magic bullet for $99 (I think)? Is that compatible with Final Cut Pro?

Horsefilms, How do you 'reset' the presets back to their original positions? Set everything to 0? By the way, love your icon, funny & creepy!

Thanks guys.
