HPX250: Matching HPX 250 to GH2

[Periscope]

Can anyone suggest a good starting point for matching the 250 to a GH2 or vs. vs. regarding gamma settings (esp. the 250's HD Norm or Cine D)?

Yes, we know they're different animals but who has gotten the closest, pleasing results in real field production?

In interviews, I'd like to start using the GH2 as C.U. "A" cam and the 250 for a wider shots, other coverage.

Thanks much --

I don't have any confirmed good settings to share, but I'm in the same situation. I had to start shooting, so I used gh2 with smooth profile, -2 contrast, -1 saturation. On the HPX250 i used Cine D (I think it was Cine D, or maybe Cine V, sorry don't have the cam here now). I've hacked the GH2 so it grades a little better, but I still haven't worked on the footage in post, so not sure how well I can match it yet.

Do share any thoughts and comments

I had a hard time matching them. GH2 with smooth then 2 down and 2 left and 250 with master ped +12 and detail level -4 v detail level -4 and chroma level -4 and matrix norm1 could work. but white balancing the GH2 is really no fun! The most important thing is to get the GH2 whites as close to the 250 as possible. I sort of gave up and use a Canon DSLR now...much better!
