:laugh:Hi all
I've recently bought the Canon XF300 for an ob documentary I am making on the Fraccing issue in Australia(run and gun style). It is the 2nd camera and we are using the Canon C300 as the first camera. The documentary is going to cinema. I was wandering if anyone new about the camera picture profiles and wandered if I should be playing with these setting in camera or should wait for post? The XF300 is a much more video looking digital image and I'd like to soften the look for cinema in line with the beautiful c300 image if possible.
We are trying to get the XF300 in as close to this as we can. I wander if anyone could give me some advice re any settings in camera or in post? We are using the falt looking clog setting in the c300. All the best Toddy
 
You'll want to get monitor up on both cameras and use the XF's custom picture menu to dial in a look closer to the C300. The big difference is the XF line doesn't have the C-Log gamma curve available as an option. I would look at Gamma CINE2 and then adjust the black level to flatten it out even more.

You won't be able to match them perfectly and the XF won't get nearly as much dynamic range but you can get them fairly close.
