Has anyone experienced different saturation levels in the C100 at different ISOs? I was running my various lights through some test charts, and finally deduced why my results were so skewed anytime a different light necessitated that I change the ISO... my camera seriously boosts saturation at low ISOs, especially at 320. See the image below. I did an ABB at both 320 and 850.
Has anyone else experienced this? I don't believe that any other camera I've owned has displayed this behavior. I will next try it with the custom profile turned OFF and see what happens. My profile is below the photo.
